I have the Linksys on a different channel from all my neighbors and no other devices on 2.4 GHz.
What I do with Vista is hit (Fn)+(F2) to turn off the wireless (May be different key combo ob your laptop). Wait one second, and then hit them again. It has always reconnected after that. No need to restart, or to reboot the router.
