    I know that the disc supports windows vista and xp. But how do you get the disc to work with windows 7? Im trying to use this with the slingbox to watch cable on my laptop.

    I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Do you mean the CD that came with the router?
    If so this is not needed for anything- it's for noobs- everything can be configured via web interface (192.168.1.1) and is not OS dependent.

    It's possible that my answer is well of target though if I didn't understand your question- please elaborate.

    Yes the cd that came with the WET610N. How do you configure via web interface (192.168.1.1). Also, is there other wireless N ethernet bridge that I can use with the slingbox that work with windows 7. I need a wireless bridge because the verizon wireless router is far from the verizon cable box.

    Do you actually have the WET610N? Why are you asking about another one?
    I was a bot too quick with the 192.168.1.1- wireless routers use this. WET610N's default IP is 169.254.1.250 unless you've set a different static IP or it acquirec IP from DHCP auromatically.
    That's how web interface looks like- all the config options you need.

    I have the slingbox pro hd but I am looking for a wireless bridge so I can watch cable on laptop. When I was for this I saw the WET610N but it does'nt support windows 7 which my laptop has. I am asking for another wireless bridge to works with windows 7.

    It does support every system because it's based on TCP IP- you can use whatever system you want.
