Hi Andy, Yes they do need drivers, and that could be your downfall with Vista. The best course is to go to the manufacturer's web site and see what they say about the model of the router/modem you have.

Do modem/routers have drivers for opperating systems?- Andy -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
