We got this Linksys wireless B router years ago, and it has been working fine with our two laptops running XP. We just got another laptop running Vista, and I am having so much problem connecting it to the internet wirelessly through the router. The laptop can "see" the signal, and it managed to make the connectioin several times, but the connection is extremely slow, and inconsistant (connection is lost frequently, and then restores automatically again). Is this a compabilty problem? Is there anything I can do, or do I need a new router? And if I do a new router, will the two old laptops compatible with the new g & n router?
I would advise you to purchase a Linksys G router, Model # WRT54G2. Works well with Vista and your other laptops will work also.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know.
If this solves your issue, please be kind to rate it.
Thanks, Joe

Hello,
What is your connection speed? To many computers on a home connection can slow it down.
You also might check to make sure that your computer with the router has enabled the mac address of the new vista computer.
Here is a link from linksys giving an example of mac address permissions.
