Hello folks
I've just purchased a D-link 2740B ADSL wireless N router but i cannot get my Sony Vaio FZ31S notebook (wireless N equipped) to connect to it using N mode (it works with the dlink on B/G modes no problems). When i select "802.11N only" on router transmission mode, my notebook picks up the signal but when i try to select "connect" it says data rate not correct. I am using WPA2 encrytion (AES) and in the wireless icon in taskbar, i have tried using both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies on laptop but to no avail. My notebook is equipped with the Intel Wireless Wifi Link 4965AGN adaptor. I have the latest wireless driver and also all the latest windows updates installed (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) Could someone help me?
Thanks

Sounds like a compatibility issue with the Sony wireless N. Try using WPA only mode (TKIP).:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

Indeed a lot of the N routers are draft. You want to use the same wireless card as router (same make) as it will more than likely work then.0
