MN-700 and SP2

After installing SP2 I no longer have my control power
for accessing this router, though my wireless network is
seeming still functional. When I try to run the software
that came with my router it tell me it is not valid with
this version of Windows.

My questions are:
1.) Is this normal that you have to set up the network
again after installing Service Pack 2? Run the wireless
network wizard?

2.) Should I even try to fix this?

Thanks

1) Not really. The network settings on your router should have been
retained by the router (it has nothing to do with your OS) and the settings
on your OS should have been retained through the SP2 installation process.

2) You could fix this, but why bother. There is nothing that can't do by
not using the BNU. Everything can be set it through the base stations
management tool (http://192.168.2.1 by default, or whatever the lan ip of
your router is if you changed it) or through the Windows Wireless setup
control panel. With Windows XP, you need not install the MS BNU at all.


If you insist on using the MS BNU, the updated fix for the MS BNU can be

Jason...thanks for the advice. I now see that I have
total management of my router through the browser. I am
going to heed your good advice and leave it alone.

Thanks again...Rick
