Windows 7 Router issues.

kevin from Chi-town · Jan 15, 2009

I have 2 pcs (1 xp, and the other win 7 64 bit) hardwired into 2 of the 4 ports on the back of my Linksys WRT54G router. Everytime I log onto the Windows 7 pc, it knocks my wireless out. A simple reboot fixes the issue but this is getting old quick. My theory is that maybe 7 is searching for IP version 6, thus knocking out my wifi. Anybody else seeing this or are these just hints that my trusty blue box is ready to call it quits?
any thoughts?

It does seem to be IPv6 which is the problem. After disabling IPv6 I have not had a problem with Wi-fi. This may well be fixed when Win7 goes Gold. As for now it's the type of issue you have beta's for.

Update: I upgraded to version 7127 this weekend. Just for fun I turned on ipv6 after the upgrade and it appears that they have fixed the bug. Up to 7100 I didn't have that problem and it appears that after 7100 it is now ok again. If it goes out on me again I'll let everyone know.
