Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network
I have a problem with connecting Vista 64 Home Premium to wireless network.
Hardware - tried D-Link DWL-G510 and Edimax 7128 adapters with newest Vista drivers I have 2 wifi networks broadcasted by Linksys WRT54G and Airlive WP-5460AP (latest firmware) - different channels set, both with WPA TKIP. Vista connects from time to time to Linksys but either only locally with no internet acces or with very poor internet transmission and then dropping connection. Connection to Airlive is rejected as wrong passphrase (although its correct). With no encryption only local connection to Airlive is possible. XP computers work with no problems with both devices. What can be wrong? -- TomekB

Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network
Hi
Some older Routers/AP are Not fully compatible with Vista. Check your Wireless Device support site. Jack (MVP-Networking). "TomekB" wrote in message ...

Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network
I have tried WPA2 and AES on Airlive connection - no result. Edimax uses
Ralink RT2500 chipset listed as compatible with Vista64, don't know D-Link one. May Linksys firmware be an issue? Airlive access point is connected to this router via cable. -- TomekB "Martin Brown" wrote: On Apr 1, 11:15 am, TomekB wrote: I have a problem with connecting Vista 64 Home Premium to wireless network..

Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network
Hi
When having an arrangement like yours I usually go with one Brand solution. In your case choosing a hardware that can handle Vista64 as the base. There can be slight deviation in the way the variety of OS' and hardware mange the Wireless connection and the encryption, which results in quirky behavior. Jack (MVP-Networking).

So updating Linksys and disconnetcting Airlive temporarily should eliminate
the issue? -- TomekB "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Hi When having an arrangement like yours I usually go with one Brand solution.
