Vista Tutorial - Linksys router WRTP54G / Sony Vaio VGN-NR310E problems

Can someone please help me b4 I scream ?

I purchased a Linksys CIT400 cordless Skype phone (stand alone type) and needed a router to run it as a sometimes pc free phone.
I then purchased a Linksys WRTP54G wireless G router for the purpose of the very expensive phone.

I have not even got to the point of setting up the phone as I have had endless problems / issues trying to get the router to work !!
After searching the net I came to a stop here at these forums and have tried what has been suggested already but to no avail.

When I connect I am continuously getting the "unidentified network" messages.

I have worked around the clock on this , I am totally exhausted , and as the Vaio is a fairly new and expensive item I wont be throwing it out the window just yet .

Can anyone offer any assistance or even tell me if you have similar working setups what Router I should be using please ?????

please help I would really appreciate it .

anyone ??

I was looking at buying another router this time a Dlink but upon a search to see if any issues pop up with these , guess what? yep issues with vista/sony vaios.

I cant begin to tell u how frustrating this is , cause its beyond that now , if anyone at all can recommend me a router that is Sony Vaio / Vista safe could you please post info here , I am, desperate !

cheers
