Vista wireless problems

[Talonaer]

Ok just got BE broadband setup in house, all good

wireless works on everyones laptops

but NOT on my bloody desktop

flicks between private and public network and now ive got it stationed at private by disabling Iv6 the connection to the internet is less than 56kbps on the desktop!

its a Realtek 8185 wireless card connecting to a thomson ...585v7 router.

I cant get online with the desktop to run auto updates for the realtek card drivers bnut have tried finding latest versions which only got it this far.

Is this just vista being

with a crap router, new router needed or is iut something else

help please guys!

sound slike either your card or router playing up, to be honest it should just work!!!

what about security settings on the router no blocks or anything???

Only reason I really mentioned that is that with the old wireless b pci card I had years ago, it was always dropping. Installed a wireless g in my mothers some time ago and it was dropping too. Seem fine, then drop, then reconnect... yada yada. Til I noticed my router was on either 9 or 11, and I set the card to the same and since its been fine.

Something to do with each channel being a frequency range, and I spect some frequencies get interfered with or summit.

My sisters is on channel 1 - works in her place.

It'll be in the cards properties somewhere.

i hated my bebox, so i changed it. I just found it to be clunky and slow and in technical terms a piece of sh!t.

if anyone knows how to change the channel please let me know, just looked at devices properties from device manager and cant see anything
