I hope this is the correct area in which to post this...my apologies in
advance if not...

I am using an old Linksys BEFW11s4v4 wireless router, with XP and Vista
systems working well with it...except, I have tried to use XM radio for audio
streaming, and it causes the router to freeze and require the old "uplug and
plug back in" fix of the router. I have no problems audio streaming via the
XP system through the router.

I do have the most recent firmware installed in the router.

I assume that I need to get a new router that is specifically Vista
compatible, but obviously I do not want to get one and find that I still have
the same problem, i.e. that possibly it is somehow actually a Vista issue.

Thanks so much in advance for any thoughts.

Thanks so much for trying to help.

Actually, the Vista and XP systems are both CAT-5 cabled into the router...I
only use wireless for an XP notebook I also use at times...

The whole scenario is rather confusing...Have you been audio streaming in
general, or specifically from XM Radio? I have no trouble with other audio
and video streams...XM Radio claims to only work with XP, not Vista, but
there is a Vista gadget for XM radio, so SOMEBODY obviously gets it to
work...thus, I assume it must be the router.

Then again, this is not a technology area with which I have intimate
knowledge.

Do you have any problems if you direct connect the Vista system to the
router instead of using wireless?
I use an old Linksys wireless router from before the days of XP with Vista
and have not problems as long as the signal strength is enough and I have no
interference from neighbors.
You might try changing the wireless channel to channel 1 or channel 10.
