Re: Vista Sleep, Hibernation Internet Connection Lost
I use Ultimate, but there are probably far more copies of Premium
out there than the others, so don't pay any attention to their
comments.
Microcenter should know if they have v8's.

Re: Vista Sleep, Hibernation Internet Connection Lost
No. I talked with a number of employees there. The packaging does not state
the version, and the stocking system they have does not have it either.
BTW, are you using a wired connection, ethernet card?

Re: Vista Sleep, Hibernation Internet Connection Lost
Ok Thanks.
I just got off the phone with Netgear. They told me that all the v8s have a
serial number starting with 1MF----------. Maybe you can confirm this? I'm
going back to Microcenter later on tonight and purchase one.

Re: Vista Sleep, Hibernation Internet Connection Lost
Well Barb,
WGR614v8 seems to have resolved the issue. I have tried both sleep and
hibernation, and afterwards, if Vista appears to have lost the connection,
it is able to reestablish it. I went through it more than once using both
modes.
So, what do to do now? I could hope that other Netgear router WGR614 users
have v8s as well. Microcenter sold so many of this model on sale that they
must have run out of v7s. That was the one I bought unknowingly. So, if you
hear of this from anyone else using a Netgear router, you can tell them to
makes sure to purchase the v8. Or, maybe Netgear will be able to update the
firmware of the earlier versions enough to resolve this.

Re: Vista Sleep, Hibernation Internet Connection Lost
Ok,it's a little confusing. With the WGR614v8, if I click on "View Computers
and Devices" in the "Network and Sharing Center", there is another device
listed: WGR614v8 (Wireless AP) [in addtion to my laptop, desktop, and
WGR614v8 (Gateway)].
If I right click on WGR614v8 (Wireless AP) and select "Configure" and enter
the PIN number on the router what will happen?
