Check if your drivers are up to date.

I had a D-Link router connected to my adsl modem, didnt work good at all. Ended up buying a cheap linksys wag200g, works miracles, but isn't good at lots of LAN copying, but for wireless home usage and such, its perfect. Perhaps you could see for any error msgs in Event viewer, you're not giving us much to work with..

If you go to device manager and go to the Dlink properties... look for a tab called Power Management and make sure all the boxes are unticked... sometimes there isn't a power management tab.

Thanks all!

There isnt a Dlink properties,and there´s no drivers to my router..,What a piece of crap!

Ive only got trouble since ived got the router

Maybe i take your advise TranceEnergy and buy a Linksys :

Router model?

Have you tried updating the firmware for it?

Does it work better with a normal/non-vLited Vista?

LegoLiam: There was one box filled "shutdown to save power" I have a Nvidia nForce Networking Controller.

DL. : Modellnumber is : DI-524. It work better with "non-V´lited Vista" I have to keep like every services to be safe

If it works better with a non-vLited Vista then it's most likely something you removed/disabled, and not the actual router.

Updating the firmware for the router probably won't hurt, but since it's most likely your vLited setup (or a combination) that is causing problems that may or may not help either.

Try searching for "d-link 524 vista" or similar and you'll find mulitple hits on that topic.

This is the KB they're often referring to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233

Are you using a wired or wireless connection to the router?

Remember, Linksys is a division of Cisco. I could tell you a story about a certain cisco router, but i'm not at liberty to say lol.

Rest assured cisco is kick a** top notch products. Linksys is their brand for the home users, tho they pack a punch still.

I'd say linksys or perhaps a 3com at worst. My wag200g costed about 5 pints and well worth it, i went thru 5 adsl modems, in 2 months before i settled with linksys, and its a keeper for sure. My criteria for keeping it was consistent low ping, good wi-fi lenght (bcoz of gf) and wi-fi stability, and easy setup as well as configuration. It boots very fast vs the thomson,3com,d-link, and lol i cant remember its name anymore modems.

There are no gigabit adsl modems per date as i know of, and i dont need a router which gives you q-os enabled gaming priority adding latency to the lot, because i dont intend to download anything while gaming online anyway.

Usually keeping it simple is what works best.

Of course if u can get a cisco adsl modem, and u can afford it, go for it. I recently spotted they came out with one with 8 ports etc, about 25 pints cost, lol, but i need only max 4 ports so..

edit: That d-link 524 looks like a stars wars space craft that's gone into retirement, lol.

edit2: my wag200g http://www-au.linksys.com/servlet/Satellit...ename=AU/Layout

is available for use both for annex A and annex B adsl2 isp services.

Some modems are not, and will simply not work if in wrong setup, make sure you check what you have, annex A or B, before you do any new purchase if so. That's important.
