Microsoft Vista and Wireless Adapters - Compatibility, Usability

You're all wondering, how are wireless adapters working with the new Microsoft Vista. There is no cut and paste answer for that because it all depends on the kind of wireless network you are using. Are you using Netgear or perhaps Linksys. I will try to clarify as many different adapters as I can and see if I can find a quick fix for your adapter questions.

Linksys Wireless Adapter

If you use Lnksys and you are wondering if Vista will work with it, Linksys has come out with a new driver that is compatible with Vista. If you would like to download it, just got to linksys.com. One you download these files, you can then go to your control panel to search for your driver and point to the download files.

Netgear Driver Problem

If you are a Netgear user, you will have some trouble with compatibility. Microsoft offers a beta driver that you can download that is not affiliated with Netgear. You can download the driver at, http://netgear.com. Basically, beta means that the code is not successfully tested but it is a way for people to give feedback and allow changed to be made.

If you use Netgear, I recommend that you steer clear until everything is cleared so you can use Vista without any problems. This is really a pain to deal with so stick with XP until it is resolved.

Wireless Adapter Battery Drain

One problem that people are also having with Vista is that the laptop batteries get drained quickly while connected to the internet. It has to do with the fact that many wireless connections do not have the ability to go into the "power save" mode that the Microsoft Vista Operating system allows for.

All in all, Vista has some problems with compatibility when it comes to some wireless adapters but there are fixes available. The only problem that I see that will require some consideration from people has to do with laptops. They have the double threat of having batteries that can overheat as well as connections that cannot be made.

Just conception it'd be fun to article on a recent multimedia setup we put together for a newly renovated home in Melbourne's inner suburbs...

We were brought in quite late, after all cabling had been laid by the electricians. Unfortunately in planning the wiring, all data ports were put in where phones were to be located and close to where internet would be used. As the house retained it's old duplicate brick shell, it was conception it would be hard to get a wireless network happening. How wrong they were.

We were called in to get the house online with a multimedia system. A large database of movies had been collected by the kids, but at present was all stored on computers.

It was decided that, using 4 x Apple Airport Express units, we would first turn the house wireless. This would enable everyone to entrance the internet on their laptops from in any place on the property (including exterior by the pool). In addition, it would allow us to use some Network Media Players as receivers by each Tv. The Tvs we also sourced for them were 4 x Lg 32" models as well as 2 x brand new Samsung Led screens (That's right, we can source many other home entertainment products exterior those listed on the site... Just ask!).

We decided to setup 6 x Popcorn Hour A-110 Network Media Tanks into the assorted bedrooms and living areas. This would allow them to entrance movies stored on separate computers nearby their home. These were all fitted with a Wireless N Usb Adapter Dongle from Tp-Link, to entrance the wireless network of course. Potentially we could be called back to add someone else one to a study area and a added one to an outdoor gym area.

Finally, for centralised storehouse purposes, we set up a Netgear ReadyNas Duo with 2 x 1.5Tb Seagate Hard Drives installed. This gives the family the potential to drop all their multimedia files from their laptops onto a central device, freeing up space on the computer and giving entrance to a greater array of multimedia for other family members.

The preliminary tutorial that we gave them was met with many ooh's and aahh's as they seemed quite amazed by what was possible, and nothing else but what we had done for them. We're quite sure they will be calling us for a helping hand as they get used to their new home entertainment network, and we're equally as clear that they will grow to love it more and more each day.

The scope of this technology continues to amaze us.

Now, its' off to go set up something like this in my home!

Cheers, Myles.
