I've been using netgear products throughout my Wireless network withotuh itch. however, I'm going to be getting a new computer with Vista installed and I've heard that Netgear and Vista don't really mix.
Is this true? If it is, which brands work best?
TIA
Michael...

No, what I was meaning is that the software/drivers required for the Netgear adapters don't work on vista - it won't install them.
I think the best one to go for is Linksys. If I could, I'd stick with netgear throughout to enuse compatability, but I'm not willing to risk it with Vista |

Netgear WPN111s x2, though I'd obviously be getting a new one -draft N probably- to go with the new computer.
Router is a Netgear DG834PN |

If you want to get new stuff I always recommend D-Link. I find them the most reliable.

It's irrelevant now, the computer shop are taking care of it. They're using the bits I spec'd, but only cos my dad wouldn't let me do it.

Stuck with Netgear, the guy said that the chances of problems were small and not as bad as I'd thought.
