Vista Wireless Performance Questionnaire
With the amount of Vista issues on the forum, we are putting out a questionnaire here to get more information on the setups to get get a grasp of what is happening. Based on user feedback over the la...
I just wanted to express my support for the statements previously made by "Do what?":
It is very annoying that NETGEAR is not capable of offering a product (in my case a ReadyNas Duo), including firmware, that can adjust the MTU such that it can communicate properly with a Vista computer over a wireless LAN. I am not a computer expert (yet) and I find it very frustrating that one is forced to investigate and perform these rather fundamental communication settings by hand, when it at the same time seems to work fine for XP computers (in the end I also found that an MTU at 1460-70 on the Vista computer and 1500 on the Duo gave an acceptable performance level).
In addition, the e-mail alerts have apparently stopped working after upgrading to Raidiator 4.1.5 (there is an existing thread about this in the forum as well), which also meant that it took a while before I understood that the Duo had upgraded without telling me about it.
All together I would not recommend someone planning to connect a Vista computer to a NAS over a WLAN to buy a ReadyNas. The quality just isn't there, at least no yet.
