For all those looking for a good router for wireless networking using Vista
Ultimate (and possibly other Vista versions), this might be helpful. The Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti Dual-band Gigabit Router (Model WZR-AG300NH) is Certified for Windows Vista, and has been working flawlessly with my new HP laptop PC with Vista Ultimate (64-bit). The router broadcasts simultaneous A and G wireless networks (it also has draft-N capability, but my laptop only has an ABG adapter), and my laptop is able to connect flawlessly. It has very strong signal strength and I can switch between A and G networks anywhere in my house. It also has the latest WPA2 security, SSID encryption and MAC address security features. This is one of the very few routers that actually has the Certified for Windows Vista logo (which represents the fact that it has successfully passed rigorous testing of all Vista functionalities). Check the Vista hardware compatibility list for routers at http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/Pro...=v&cid=712&g=d The only downside is that this router is rather expensive at $250. -- Shri |

The D-Link DIR-655 -- Xtreme N Router also works great with Vista and has the
features you mentioned, and didn't cost $250 "Shri" wrote: For all those looking for a good router for wireless networking using Vista Ultimate (and possibly other Vista versions), this might be helpful.

One of the features of the Buffalo that I wanted was the simultaneous
broadcasts of A at the 5 Ghz frequency and, G and N at the 2.4 GHz frequency to allow smooth, interference-free streaming of video and VoIP at 5 GHz (which is not crowded) while using the more crowded 2.4 GHz frequency for other networking apps. This router also gets up to 300Mbps wireless speed. I wonder how this compares to the D-link. -- Shri "amatie" wrote: The D-Link DIR-655 -- Xtreme N Router also works great with Vista and has the features you mentioned, and didn't cost $250 "Shri" wrote: For all those looking for a good router for wireless networking using Vista Ultimate (and possibly other Vista versions), this might be helpful.
