wireless router constantly reset and restarting
I installed preRC1 on one of my laptops that is connected to a home network
through a wireless router. The internet connection is ok. I can browse the internet and get the download from upgrade. A major problem doscovered by my children is the wireless router constantly reset and restarting every few minutes. This process disconnets all the computers from the internet, even those that are connected through an ethernet cable. This is a big problems for their internet games which require constant internet connections. I am not sure this is a Vista specific problem or is related to IE 7 RC. I believe installation of IE 7 RC on a XP machine also causes router to restart constantly. Does any one else experience a similar problem. I tried to uninstall the two discovery drivers associated with the wireless adapter as suggested by someone, but it apparently did not help. Any suggestions or solutions? |

wireless router constantly reset and restarting
Hi Dash,
From what you are telling us it does not sound like this is a Vista problem at all. It sounds to me like you might have to upgrade the firmware on your router, which is a simple and relatively harmless process if you have any of the popular home routers (Linksys, D-Link, Netgear, etc...). Good luck and let us know if you need more help! M -- MDG, MCT MCSA (2003), MCSA (2000), MCDST.

wireless router constantly reset and restarting
Hi Montreal,
Thank you for your reply. The question is why is my router worked perfectly and without any dropping of any network connection and restart of the router when I had all XP computers connected to it. My instinct would fault Vista or IE7 for the constant reset and restarting of the router.

wireless router constantly reset and restarting
We are starting to see many problems where router manufactures were making
some mistakes but XP did not care much, but Vista does, or that XP did not use certain functionality in various standards (or enforce), but now Vista does. In many of these cases, the router manufacturers are just now finding bugs which they are fixing because previously "it just worked" with XP. Hopefully in most cases, as Montreal points out, this will just require a firmware upgrade to work properly. -- J.P. _____________________________________ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
