| | Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network I have a problem with connecting Vista 64 Home Premium to wireless network. Hardware - tried D-Link DWL-G510 and Edimax 7128 adapters with newest Vista drivers I have 2 wifi networks broadcasted by Linksys WRT54G and Airlive WP-5460AP (latest firmware) - different channels set, both with WPA TKIP. Vista connects from time to time to Linksys but either only locally with no internet acces or with very poor internet transmission and then dropping connection. Connection to Airlive is rejected as wrong passphrase (although its correct). With no encryption only local connection to Airlive is possible. XP computers work with no problems with both devices. What can be wrong? -- TomekB |

I am a bit surprised that the Linksys fails though. See the longer adjacent thread titled WPA-PSK. WPA2 seems to work OK & the much less secure WEP will probably work too.

It would be interesting to know what chipsets used on the failing cards... Regards, Martin Brown |

| | Re: Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network I have tried WPA2 and AES on Airlive connection - no result. Edimax uses Ralink RT2500 chipset listed as compatible with Vista64, don't know D-Link one. May Linksys firmware be an issue? Airlive access point is connected to this router via cable. -- TomekB "Martin Brown" wrote: Quote: > On Apr 1, 11:15 am, TomekB <Tom...@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: > > I have a problem with connecting Vista 64 Home Premium to wireless network.. > > Hardware - tried D-Link DWL-G510 and Edimax 7128 adapters with newest Vista > > drivers > > I have 2 wifi networks broadcasted by Linksys WRT54G and Airlive WP-5460AP > > (latest firmware) - different channels set, both with WPA TKIP. > WPA-PSK & TKIP seems to be a complete disaster with Vista in > combination with certain older routers.

| | Re: Vista64 cannot connect to wifi network Hi When having an arrangement like yours I usually go with one Brand solution. In your case choosing a hardware that can handle Vista64 as the base. There can be slight deviation in the way the variety of OS' and hardware mange the Wireless connection and the encryption, which results in quirky behavior. Jack (MVP-Networking).
