Wireless connection problems (vista and xp)


I have tried to use both operating systems. So far I can say that vista is perfect for its appearance. But Vista caused me some problems to connect to the some routers(adsl modems). The reason it said was "the network is not safe". I could only connect to some routers with my laptop. Then I gave up using vista and turned back to xp again. Now I don't have such a problem. But of course I found some solutions to these problems.
The basic reason of these all that vista doesn't support some old dirvers of those routers. Here are you can do to fix these problems.

-First of all check if you have the right key to connect to your wireless modem.
-If you can find, go and find your router's latest driver(firmware) from its homepage or from other pages.
-Setup the new driver(firmware) on your router. Try to connect in this way.
-If this doesn't work, you can try to configure a static ip address. Click here for the instructions
-If you have tried all these solutions, and if you can't still connect to the internet buy a new router.
Good day
