Problems with Vista? Anyone had any issues with a Zyxel X-550 since installing Vista? Like the router management interface dying and UPnP not working in particular?

Each of my computers can see the other through the Zyxel but I can't log on. I have no clue what the problem is and I have been working with networks since Windows 3.11 (and before that, Novel)

The network sharing on Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista is stricter than Windows3.11/95/98. It has nothing to do with the router or any router for that matter.

I have office 2007 ent on it and I'm very happy with the performance of Word and Excel. Using the wifi (N router flashed to ddwrt) and the ethernet port (1 gigabit switch) I happy to report good to great performance. Of course the wifi is slower than a cabled connection. My "Server" is 6 core intel 780i with many expensive hardware upgrades (Real RAID etc..) running Vista ultimate but it should work as well as your home network for simple file sharing. happy to answer any other questions.

Berry:I tried both wireless and hardwired (Ethernet cable). With hardwire, it works well. Wireless: not reliable. I had to have another one sent since the voice dropped off so bad and the wireless signal reception was poor even in front of the wireless router! The second one was slightly better, but the voice quality was very poor or could not connect. I discussed it with OOMA, but I would have to return to Amazon to get the refund. By that time I could not return it. So, I am stuck with it. It really amazes me that they sell such a poor quality product.In summary: it is bad idea to use this wireless.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13. EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

I just had someone call me for tech help stating the same exact thing. It would not install on Vista for her. I wonder if there's a firmware problem in the newer versions or something.

I am having trouble connecting my netgear 900 router in replace of my white tenda wireless router, any suggestions? It always shows no connectivity when I finish plugging in all the cables.

I recently purchased Netgears N900 wireless router and am also having connectivity issues with my windows XP computer. I have trouble shot this from all the obvious angles, but in a nutshell, the wireless connection does not show availability in the available networks window from w/in XP. No issues with previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). All ideas, solutions would be greatly welcomed.

What the others are saying. I was unable to find a software update online, so I had to run a wired connection to the TV set to update. I too am having WiFi issues, and the software update did not help. I've tried two access points without success. I'm going to try a third AP sometime today. Regardless of the outcome, I have a Sharp Tech scheduled to come out on Wednesday.

C.Tortora, what wireless adapter did you get, if you don't mind me asking? I think the only option for the DMP-BD70V is an ethernet wireless adapter. Any recommendations?

My Sony all-in-one is very fast and I have no more problems with WiFi than any other computer. There WAS a problem with Windows 8 and 8.1 but by resetting the WiFi adapter every time I rebooted I was able to work around that problem and now it appears Windows fixed the connection issue. I haven't had any internet connection problems in months.

Thanks. I decided to go for it. My parents have the older model and I decided that if it didn't work for me we could trade routers. It ended up working beautifully, and so far I am quite satisfied. I haven't tried out all the new features yet, but I am getting good connection throughout the house.

Yes. I'm currently using Win 8.1 with all updates and everything is fine on 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Personal note...Don't forget to use the "WLAN" control center software that came with the dongle. It simplifies things. Also, my router is the Asus AC1900. Pricey but, worth every penny. It's a home network beast. It is able to broadcast on both bands at the same time. I had another router that said it worked on both bands. Sadly, not at the same time. Make sure your router can deliver whatever your looking for.

Comcast installed today (old one died). Phone (landline) works. Built in Wifi weaker than my standalone. Haven't tried the 4 router ports yet.

I have the 4300 and I have had no problems with it. Ever. I bought it when it first came out and it works great. I am looking to upgrade but only because I want more than 4 ports or the ability to use the new wifi technology. Works very will with my Wii via wifi, and my network drive and pcs have no problems either. And then I noticed the post I just responded to was almost 2 years old. :)

I am currently with an Asus router and don't seem to have issues. I've got with a Linksys router issues, but have no idea what to do.Didn't have issues with Trendnet router as well

Hi Vespasian - I did have issues but what I found is that you have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY patient. I'm running the latest firmware (V2.0.5?) and for the longest time unplugged the device as I felt it degrgated my network performance and introduce other issues (i.e. I had issues connecting to the router that it the Sabrent was connected to). Today I decided to give it another shot. I ran SpeakEasy speed test (10x) on both routers that I have, the plugged in the Sabrent to the router (U-verse so it's the one "DSL modem" as well). The Sabrent showed it was connected to the router & I could access the internet on my laptop when connected to the Sabrent, working as a host. I then attempted to connect my laptop directly to the router which the Sabrent was connected and I couldn't - but I could when connected to the other router. I was ready to downgrade to V2.0.1 but on the time it took me to download and switch things around the issue magically resolved itself. YMMV but for the last few hours I have been able to access the internet on both routers (w/o going through the Sabrent) as well as stream music to multiple devices. There is still an issue with lag between my Airplay devices (laptop and jailbreaked iPhone 3GS running AirFloat which turns that into a receiver). Just be patient - my experience is that this isn't the fastest devices but in time my issues were resolved. Good luck.
