"Repair This Connection"

Sometimes I cannot connect and when I refresh the network list, my network
is not appearing. So, within the Network Connections I right click "Wireless
Networks" and choose "Disable" and then "Enable". that seems to fix the
problem sometimes. Other timesI will select "repair this connection" and
sometimes that works.

I would like to know what "Repaire this Connection" actually does. It seems
like it just disables, enables, and refreshes the ip. Is that correct?
What is the difference between this and manually selecting "disable" and
then "enable"?

I tried to look it up in the "Help and Support Center" and the Microsoft
site but I just receive vague answers.

This is exactly what it does. Often a firewall setting on one computer or
another can cause connection problems. I often have to "repair" a connection
to get connected again. The other option is to reboot, which does the same
thing but takes much longer.
With Repair, you don't have to go digging around for your connections. Once
you manually disable, you have to open network connections, find the
connection and then enable it. This way, you click repair, it does all the
steps for you.
