Change between wireless networks

I have a DLink wireless router (DI-624) in the attic and a DLINK
(DWL-2100AP) in the base floor in order to fully cover the building. I have
configured them with a different SSID and with WPA (PSK). I did the same on
my HP 8020 laptop.

Problems:
When I close the laptop and it hypernates something happens and when I
resume, it cannot aquire address. The same happens when I change network,
ie. move from attic to base floor. It starts to aquire address but it will
never end. or it will end up with limited or no connectivity.

What can I do?
Has anyone successfully configured the network to automatically switch
between the 2 network points according to which is stronger? (and achieve
this instantanuously)

I assume that only happens in the hibernate process or not?

1. Is it hibernate process works fine? Is it fully hibernate or not?

2-Did you try to update Windows XP in Microsoft Web Page or HP Pages, maybe
too in Intel Web Page, there are some updates that can help. There is not a
Signal strong issue, it seems a software-hardware conflict with the Wireless
Card when hibernate.

3. I recommend you try to buy a Wireless Signal extender instead of a Router
to avoid regularity changes between the 2 Router or try to set both with
the same encrytation profiles.

To change from AP to AP configure the same SSID on each AP but use a
different channel, ie. AP1 = Channel 1 and AP2 = Channel 6 for example. Make
sure the encryption key (WPA or WEP) is the same on each AP...

I believe that this is the correct option although I have returned the AP
back as it was defective after all. I will try it as soon as I get a
replacement. Thanks to all
