Wifi problems after Microsoft/system updates

Clean install: 4 or 5 bars, great connectivity

after Microsoft/system updates: 1 or 2 bars

Ridiculous, no?

PLEASE HELP!

specs: Dell Inspiron 2650, Pentium 4, 1.6 Ghz, 512 Ram, Linksys Wifi PC card (with updated drivers)

i really doubt that the updates caused that -- the bars are usually reported directly by the card and its drivers.  i can't imagine how a windows update would cause the actual signal to degrade

i can't imagine it either, but that is exactly what happened. i wiped and reinstalled: 4 bars. i did all the updates together in a matter of a couple hours: 1 bar.

also, after updating, computer doesn't resume from suspend.

if i had 4 bars to begin with, and no environmental changes occured, then software can be the only answer/cause to this problem, no?
