I unchecked the Internet Protocol version 6 and the Link Layer Topology options but the rounter still reboots when the wireless connects.
I see that there is some firmware called dd-wrt tht can be used with my router. I don't think I want to get involved with that sort of thing, however.
I also see that Intel has a newer version of the driver for my Intel WiFii 4965AGN card in the laptop. Intel says to use the versions that are on the coimputer manufacturer's website rather than the drivers that Intel has. I'm wondering how hard it is to update the driver and if it's a big deal to go back to the prior version if there is a problem.
