I am not sure as to your answer, I'm sure somebody will here, Great people!

What I would like to know about this router is if the Ethernet ports support Gigabit.

my computer has gigabit and I have it liked to the router via a Cat5e cable and I'm only getting 100Mbps so I'm uncertain.

It says in the config of the router that there is some gigabit support but I'm not sure that is only for the port where the modem is plugged in to it.

Setting up the router with was fine. I used the same SSID and security as with the old router, to avoid changing all the wireless devices in the house.

There's an ethernet link to my desktop PC which is working fine.

The wireless bridge I use for the Xbox connected up with no problems.

The Wii connected with no problems.

My son's iPOD touch connected with no problems.

What will not connect is my laptop. The Netgear wireless card just won't connect to the router. I've tried swapping with a linksys wireless adaptor that I have. Same result.

When I use the wireless bridge from the Xbox with the laptop, it connects to the router just fine - so it obviously isn't the laptop itself.

No doubt I am missing something obvious and will be kicking myself when I realise what it is. Nevertheless, all suggestions as to why the laptop isn't connecting up will be gratefully received.

The answer is no, as per its' specs. It has no GigE ports.

have you checked what ip's are being assigned by the router sometimes the router will assign 2 the same when using a bridged connection preventing one machine connecting
