WPA-Personal in Vista-talk. I also had to select TKIP (as opposed to AES).
The process was nowhere near as automatic as either Netgear or Microsoft
promise.
Thanks again.

Joe Sp, I have just set up Netgear Wireless router and stuggled with my Vista laptop's security. After much searching I came across your message above and it worked like a bomb, no fixes or firmware to be installed, just a matter of selecting "WPA-Personal" and TKIP. Thank you for sharing your experience. This is a useful forum.
