Vista and DLink wireless router issues

[elementofice]

Ok so here is my situation. For the past year I've been using a Windows Xp laptop and connecting to the internet using my Dlink (DL-524) wireless router. Connection was fine and speeds were pretty fast. I recently got a Windows Vista laptop and connected to the internet in the same way. After connecting, I found out that download speeds were much slower, I had connection lag while playing online games, web pages loaded slower than on the xp laptop. I tried st both wireless and lan through an ethernet cable but both were just as slow. I heard that there might be a compatibility issue with Dlink routers and Windows Vista or something? Is there anything I can do to fix my internet connection on my Vista laptop? Keep in mind all connections/speeds on my other xp laptop/computers are fine. It's just this vista laptop that is having trouble.

Do you have the latest vista drivers for the router?

I have the exact same performance issues described as well. DI-524 rev A...have the latest available firmware 1.23. Maybe the router is just too old to be 100% compatible with vista? I don't use my laptop for online gaming just mainly surfing the web but its still quite annoying. My old DELL XP wireless was twice as fast

they don't have an install guide for vista users only 2000 and xp

but maybe there is something here that you can use http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DI-524

Do NOT upgrade firmware on any D-Link product over a wireless connection.
Failure of the device may result. Use only hard-wired network connections.
