I have had a similar problem happen to me. My router will hang/lock when the
MS Vista installed PC is switched on. Only after switching the router off and
on again, the router will function normally again until the MS Vista PC is
restarted again.

Does this problem occur due to the newly implemented IPv6 protocol? Also it
is impossible in my Vista to disable IPv6 even tho it is almost nothing that
use it.
So it is impossible for me to test manually.

An option is of course to buy a new router, but it would be interesting to
know why this happens. Buying a new one might not help.
