Hi,
I just bought a D-link DIR-600 to replace my WRT54G.
It works great on my 2 desktops that have win 7.
but my laptop and another old desktop that runs with windows xp and uses a Dell 1450 wireless USB adapter is having problem connecting but when i use the Wireless N 150 USB adapter it works fine.
I cant afford to replace all my Wireless adapters just for me to baeable to connect all my pcs.
Does DIR-600 have compatibility issues??
The signal also is not as strong as the WRT54G.
What should i do?? I bought this thinking im upgrading but it is giving me a lot of issues already..
Need help please..
thanks

Some things to try:
Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options. Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall.
Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking.
What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
Any other WiFi routers in the area? Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out.
Turn off Short GI, WLAN Partition and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.
