Default Vista, wireless and DSL-G624M

Hi, I've had wireless working fine under XP, with WPA. Having installed
Vista now my wireless will not work unless I disable the WPA security, it
also doesn't work with WEP. I've doubled checked my security key several
times and I am certain it is correct, I have also used several different
versions of the wireless card's drivers either from Realtek or from Asus. I
have been in touch with D-Link and they've suggested that wireless security
may not be properly enabled within Vista.
Has anyone had experience with this or am I alone?
Many thanks
ChrisC

Default Vista, wireless and DSL-G624M

try different firmware in your router. just the other day I saw
someone with a DI-624 rev C hardware with 2.76 firmware. downgrading
to 2.42 fixed the issue for him. many of these issues are firmware
specific. Microsoft is working with vendors on these issues.

Hi, sorry but there is no other firmware than the one I have got, D-Link, in
my enquiries has made no reference to any others. They did request which
firmware I was running, b02t09.20051212, but made no other recommendation....

they don't list a DSL-G624M on their site. Did this come from your
ISP?

appears that there is older firmware at
ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dsl_routers_modems/dsl-g624m/

ask D-Link support if you can apply it to your hardware without any
issues

Hi, yes there is, but that is a backward step and has other issues. Actually
I've just tried another router, a DSL-G604T, and that is having the same
issues as well.
Really appreciate your help though....
