I have checked on the Windows7 Compatibility Center.....yea...unfortunately.... it said my router is not compatible with........

Please help me!!!
I have no idea at all........... how can i fix this problem??

Thank you very much!!!

Hi I'm having the same problem, I just get my new laptop with windows 7 home basic, and when I try to connect, my router restarts itself, I've got a trend net tew-452bpr, the same happens when I try to play AOE online, I read, I had to unblock some ports, I did not do it, but I think this problem has a similar solution.
 
Did you try uncheck IPv6 in the properties of both your network adapters, try it and see if it helps, some older routers had difficulties with it.
