MN-700 and SP2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

After installing SP2 I no longer have my control power
for accessing this router, though my wireless network is
seeming still functional. When I try to run the software
that came with my router it tell me it is not valid with
this version of Windows.

My questions are:
1.) Is this normal that you have to set up the network
again after installing Service Pack 2? Run the wireless
network wizard?

2.) Should I even try to fix this?

Thanks

Jason...thanks for the advice. I now see that I have
total management of my router through the browser. I am
going to heed your good advice and leave it alone.

Thanks again...Rick
