Repair network connection.

Is there a convenient equivalent to Windows XP's Repair Network Connection
function in Windows 7?

It's the easiest way to resume working after I've rebooted my router.

Yes. Right-click on the connections icon in the system tray and choose
"Troubleshoot problems." You can also get there from the Network and
Sharing Center.

No, I've already tried that, it says nothing is wrong and, as far as I can
see, does nothing, leaving it still not working.

I can disconnect and re-connect (it's a WiFi connection) but that's not as
easy to do as right clicking and selecting Repair is on my XP system.

I use my Droid as a wireless hot spot for my Vista and Win 7 machines.
The wireless drops out sometimes and network repair has only worked one
time on Win 7. I usually just reset the wireless hot spot on the Droid,
and the machines just reconnect by themselves.

My problem occurs when I reset my router.

I think the PC "DHCPs" invalid info from the router because it takes a few
10s of seconds to reconnect after it comes back up and it DHCPs too soon.

Why did Microsoft have to fiddle with something that worked pretty well on
Windows XP?

Suggestion : turn off the WiFi on the computer (if wired, one would
unplug the LAN cable) before resetting, and turn it on (replug it) when
the reset is complete.

That should be easy, judging by the computers I have access to, all of
which have a little button or switch for the WiFi.

Yes that's probably easier than what I've been doing.

I can just switch the WiFi off and on again when I have a problem.
