Ok so I built a new PC and everything seemed perfect until I found myself with a wireless internet problem I never knew existed.. I have a Linksys WRT54G router updated to newest firmware and a Linksys PCI WMP54G now I do not believe either is certified with Vista 64 however at first I was connecting to the internet fine then all of a sudden the problems started... DNS errors/Network adapter needing to be reset/Needing to power cycle cable modem and router/Random Vista network diagnostic suggestions and errors I have never seen before even one that disabled TCP v6 for me... Regardless of what I do the internet connection is intermittent at best... Basically if you know what its like sometimes when you click on a link and you can just tell it's not going to load but if you hit go again or refresh wala instant success... well this problem is like that x 50.

So I guess if theres any network experts that are up to date on this stuff do you have a solution for me? Do I need a new PCI card for my desktop thats 64 Vista certified or do I just need a Router that is Vista compatible? I have been reading different things and I want to think since the PCI card is actually installed and working I may just need a new router?

I may just go to Home Depot and get a roll of CAT5 but I will have to run it across the entire house which I really don't feel like doing

Thanks in advance

Hard wire it, hackers then only have one access gate and solves all OS problems.

meh, just run the cable, it'll be worth it, though it you have multiple computers with gigabit ports, i would suggest getting cat5e for the possibility of gigabit later ie getting a new router
