    Does anyone have any good suggestions on a wireless N router that works well for the 1720? And can you manage the wireless signal through the Intel Pro Set feature? I remember on XP Pro that the Intel Pro Set feature worked better than having Windows manage the wireless connection. Thanks.

    The Vista Wireless Management Software is the best, for security reasons...but it doesn't matter, Intel ProSET Software is not included by default (if at all).

    Also, any wireless router should work as long as you make sure it's Draft 2.0 AND NOT DRAFT 1.0!

    :)
