Customer had a dlink di-514 wireless router, but he couldn’t get his vista laptop to connect to it (yet his other xp laptop connected just fine).

I take a look at the dlink website, and it seems that the di-514 is no longer supported. The last firmware available is about 1 week newer than the one in the 514 I’m looking at.

I decide to give it a go (download and install the firmware … V1.03B2). It installs without a hitch, but still no vista connectivity (I tried a few reboots and check that the vista network settings are correct (I needed to change some settings, as the customer had changed a few (in his attempts to get it working).

In the end, the only option was to use a more recent dlink di-524. Once I had it installed, configured, and secured the wireless link, vista detected it immediately, and everything worked flawlessly.
