I bought a D-link DIR-655 which was suppose to be the fastest router on the market. I also got the matching wireless card. Turns out the wireless card doesnt work on vista 32-bit :rolleyes: So now I'm stuck on which router to get. I suppose I could get a different card and keep the router. I need someone to recommend me a solution that will allow me to stream HD video to my HTPC wirelessly. I dont know if I should just get a different wireless card or get a totally different setup. Thanks.

Well lets say I keep my DIR-555. Which Adapter should I use?

I'd keep the router..and wait for more support with Vista....the glacially slow performance of LAN transfers with Vista should get some improvements with service pack 1 in a few months. If you're in a rush just to get some wireless working now..just pickup a cheaper G card.
 
Which card is it? I would be very suprised if a recent card (the DIR-655 is a recent router) did not work with Vista 32-bit.

I forget the exact model number and i'm too lazy to go look. But its the card thats paired with the DIR router. I've read numerous threads on the internet of people having the same problem. Soon as you install the driver you either get a BSOD or lock up. I've tried about 5 different driver versions. I got another card on order from newegg, it got really good reviews.
