Router Firmware/Networking issue
Hi everyone:
My Asus DSL-N11, misbehaves in Wireless mode. I have therefore connected both my laptop and my PC (3 rooms away) by a 30 metre Ethernet cable. This seems to have cured the dropped connections that were plaguing the system, but now I cannot form a Homegroup. Both machines are Windows 7/64 bit: the PC is a newer, FULL o/s copy, the laptop o/s came with it.
PC very recently built, has a Giga GA-EG41MFT-US2H board with a dual core 6400 and 4 Gb DDR3 RAM.
Problems began when I tried to update the Firmware from ASUS UK. The download showed as an Adobe X PDF, but Adobe could not open it. The router was initially installed in a XP machine (no problems with that) which I moved on. I managed to install it under Win 7 on the lappy, and it works with both machines, but after reading the manual I note that only 98,ME,2000, XP & Vista installation instructions are included.
I intend to reset the router and start over with a fresh install. Can I then use the Vista installation to reinstall the router? And will I be able to make a Homegroup?
Thanks to all.
