Hi all! I have home network consisting of 4 Desktops (1 W7, 2XP, 1 Vista)and 1 Laptop (W7). All connect to WRT110. 2 via cable, two via WUSB100 and the laptop via build in WiFi device.

The actual problem: whenever the Vista computer connects via one WUSB100 (after a reboot or on initial start) everybody else gets kicked off the net until I manually reset the router. Then everything is OK until that one computer (Vista) re-starts/reboots.
It's not the WUSB itself. It works just fine on any other computer. The drivers for it are fresh from the linksys site.

I'm completely clueless. Did anyone ever experienced a similar behavior and perhaps came across a remedy?
I appreciate any and all input.

Hello,

Visit Linksys site and see if there's a current firmware update for your router. Make sure to use a wired connection to manually update the firmware.

Thank you for answering, 2xg!
There is indeed a more recent Firmware (v1.0.0.7) on the Linksys site (mine is v1.0.0.4). So far I tried to avoid the idea because you can't save/restore the configuration after an upgrade. But I'll give it a shot and let you know how it went ;)

Edit: so far all computers playing nicely together for over 8 hrs. Thanks again for the working solution!
