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

Hardware:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbs USB 2.0 Network Adaptor(came with the
motherboard)
D-Link 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.

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

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....

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....
