" Vista 64 and routers

To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps: Click Start, type regedit, If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID} [this is the first numeric string startins with {90...

Right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlag, Modify, and set the value to 0 (numeric zero). I then rebooted.

I have not had a drop in 24 hours. Hope it continues. Found this at: support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 "This issue occurs because of a difference in design between Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Specifically, in Windows XP SP2, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is set to 0 (disabled). In Windows Vista, the BROADCAST flag in DHCP discovery packets is not disabled. Therefore, some routers and some non-Microsoft DHCP servers cannot process the DHCP discovery packets."

I don’t actually use this router but have a buddy who utilizes this one in his office as he’s got about 12 computers all networked up. I am currently looking to upgrade my current router to something that’s more functional with Vista though. I have sampled a few <a href=routers">http://www.computergiants.com>routers</a> but so far I haven’t had any luck and they haven’t been any more reliable than my current router is with Vista. I might just give this one a closer look.

Does anyone sell a 802.11n print server? I don't see them out there yet.

Windows Vista drivers for both 32 and 64 bit will be available very soon. They are being tested currently.

That is very nice. If now only D-Link had Vista compatible drivers for their NICs too...

D-Link's DIR-655 works with Windows Vista!

I just picked up this router over the weekend, and I've been really impressed with it. Now I just need to find a 802.11n device for the 360, I'll be set (Or an 802.11n print server or wireless bridge) so I don't have to run the wire from upstairs and across the living room)
