i just bought Netgears RangeMax Wireless_N Gigabit Router WNR3500. i got home and tried to install the setup disk, it tells me it will not install because the installer does not support Windows Vista 64-Bit, what can i do? is there a way i can do it manually?

This is a common problem with domestic networking equipment which tends to assume you are using a domestic version of the operating system.

Unless there's a way to get Vist64 to emulate 32 you will have to set up the router manually.

Frankly, that shouldn't be a problem -- I've never used the CD which came with our router -- but I suggest you download the full manual from Netgear's support site (or it may be on the CD). Netgear also has a good user forum, so guidance is available 24/7.
