I tend to agree with this, cracking with or without beaconing is insignificant. And if you 
beacon, maybe the intelligent non-pro-neighbor won't trample over your network's channel.

However, this is how to troubleshoot Wifi for Windows:

and with the people I support my issue appears to be easily fixed by enabling/disabling 
the adaptor. I get calls that they can't get on, and for some stupid reason, windows as 
disabled the adaptor and thinks the computer is not connected. Must be the 2 second 
timeout for connections function. Enabling the adaptor usually brings it right up.
