I am considering purchasing a 64-bit computer system and using Win. 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Current system is 32-bit running Windows XP 32-bit.

The wireless router -- 32-bit driver -- I have WORKS perfectly with my DSL provider. Other later models of hardware I have tried do not, for some reason. So I am reluctant to change out the router. I've checked but the router manufacturer does not offer a 64-bit driver for it and the unit is not in production. But it is solid, dependable and I have descent speed from it.

My question is this. If I keep my current 32-bit system running Windows XP 32-bit going and USE it and its driver for the set up and SECURING of my wireless router, which is connected via a100Mbps Ethernet cable, and connect the 64-bit system running Win. 7 Ultimate 64-bit via one of the other available Ethernet ports on the same router, is it POSSIBLE that this scenario would work, giving me DSL access for the 64-bit system? I appreciate any advice or alternate ideas regarding this.

Are you sure you actually need the driver for the router?
Most routers use a setup utility that is on the router itself, DRIVERS generally aren't needed.

What's the make and model of the router?ActiontecOkay, we have a manufacturer, now for the model number Drivers are not needed for ANY ethernet or DSL router.
