I have purchased a laptop equipped with a Marvell top dog 802.11abgn adapter, I am having issues connecting wireless to my home router (Actiontec MI424WR Fios router). I can setup my other laptop and it will pick up the signal with no problem. Anyone have any suggestions, I cannot find any troubleshooting tips for it and Gateway told me uninstall the driver and reinstall it. In case I forgot to mention it is a Gateway m-6755 with Vista home premium.

Does Windows report Limited or no connectivity? Also need to make sure that the Fios router isn't configured to restrict access based by MAC Address.

Funny thing is that if I bring the laptop top to work I can connect to a B/G Aruba access point at 2-5mps. At home it will not see my router at all. I had the Mac restriction on as well as 64 bit wep. I had removed both to try and trouble shoot but still no luck. I have made some other adjustment this morning (3/1/08) and appear to be connecting at work at about 24mps. I have disabled a couple of the N-network utilities for the adapter so I will wait until this evening at home to see what happens. I feel this might be a compatibility issue with the router. Thank you in advance for your help

Still almost a week after receiving this laptop and spending days trying configure this adapter no luck. Can I configure an 802.11n router as an access point?
