my wireless modem router drivers
 

my mrs just moved over to live with me overseas and brought over my wireless router.

the only problem though is that shes brought it over without the CD. ive tried looking online for the drivers, but cant seem to find the right one for my windows. i have Windows XP. the version they have on their website is for Windows Vista.

i have this netcomm modem

i dont really want to go buy another one since mine works perfectly fine. would any of you know what options i have? if i download and install the Vista version would it work? and if not how do i uninstall it?

any help would be great.

You shouldn't need any drivers for a wireless router. connect to it with a cable at the default IP and configure it then you should be fine to connect with a wireless card.

How are you connecting to the router? If you're using a USB connection you'll need drivers, otherwise you should do fine without. Run an ethernet cable to the router and do the configuration thing and you'll be set.

If you are using USB, well.. frankly rather than spend hours searching for the right driver, I'd rather take 10 minutes and $5 to buy an ethernet card. Ethernet has higher throughput anyway.

ok thanks guys... i really havent been tech savvy for a good 8-10 years..

i just another question though..

currently i have the cable running from the socket into my IP phone. and i connect the network cable from the phone to my laptop.

now that i have a wireless router, will i need a filter?

generally (for ADSL), you need a filter for each telephony device plugged into the same phone line. If you didn't have a filter before, then you should not need one now. I assume the IP phone is not a 'normal' telephony device and therefore doesn't need a filter.
