Maybe an x86 problem, or device dependent? I've run x64 for years and have never seen this behavior. I also just tested it on an x86 SP3 machine and cannot reproduce it. I did not get the "installing device software" notification either. There's always a pause which I chalk up to device recognition time -- if there is driver business going on behind the scenes, they are always installing quickly and successfully -- enough that I wouldn't suspect anything is wrong. If they aren't there's definitely something wrong with the driver.




That should work fine, the only incompatibility is when you are using draft N and WEP. You'll need to use b/g if you're running WEP in N mode. On the topic of security, WPA is the way like Dano said...but users are still vulnerable if they use weak passwords. You don't have to be a genius, just have a working networking knowledge, download a utility and click "Brute Force." If you've got the strongest signal in the area with a good broadband speed, leeching might cross someone's mind



That's the one I hope it is able to help you
