DGN3500 & Vista - No Internet Connection

[cubenz]

I have a Vista Home Premium PC with a Broadcom wifi card in it trying to connect to a DGN3500.

All other devices in the house can (generally) connect - this includes laptops, ipad, iphon, ipod, printer, Mac & Wii! - it is only the Vista machine that has a problem, so it is likely a Vista problem.

I have tried re-setting the TCP/IP stack using the instructions here, and have updated the driver to one available here, which was newer that the one that was running.

When I try and connect Windows either says that no networks are available or the network is available with 4/5 bars of signal. If it is available and I connect it says 'successfully' connected, but the PC is not given an IP address and does not appear on the 'Connected Devices' list, so I doubt the vercity of the Connected claim.

Occasionally it will connect for a short time (long enough for me to go Hurrah! and enter a celebratory search in Google), but not long enough for my patient son to play minecraft with his mates!

Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Do you test with mix combination wireless mode and encryption?

I'm not sure I know what that means.

Encryption is WPA-Personal with AES encryption - are you suggesting I try something else?

That encrytion only. Adjust wireless mode as well

DGN is not access point device. It is wireless N router

Happy for the thread to be moved to the correct forum where best help is available.

Wireless mode is set to Up To 150Mbps - options are b&g, g only, Up to 150M and Up to 300M.

Which will give the most reliable service?
