Hi all,

I've been trying to set up a wireless usb dongle on a new dell machine running windows vista. The dongle is branded Canyon and I believe the model is RT73.

I have downloaded and installed the vista drivers for it, however, it still refuses to work properly. Sometimes it connects ok for a few mins then disconnects, sometimes it connects and reports local access only, and eventually it does not connect at all.

The signal strenght is fine, it has a minimum of good at all times and the network is unencrypted.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.
