It wants to configure your Router. Vista does a pretty good network map.
My
router is old and does not support it. I hope in summer to get a Linksys
SRX
or will wait for a Pre-N 2.0 or Final N.
I wanna do away with one wifi router so need the other one stronger and
replace it with a 1000mbps router and the other wifi router which is sex
or
something 1000 mbs too.
Thank you,

Downloaded it, and installed it.
First red flag for me is, as soon as you launch the installer, it wants
to "phone home". Why?
Second, after I installed it, it asks for your router username and
password.
Third, it continuously wants to "phone home"!
Fourth, I un-installed it!

This came in yesterday in an RSS feed.
It sounded interesting and advertised as a freebie so I downloaded the
freeware app.
(There is also a trial app.)
It surprised the hell out of me. It takes the grunt work out of setting
up a home network.
If you have a phone line with a broadband connection and a router you
can have two or more machines networked and sharing files in about 10
minutes. To add another machine you have to install the Network Magic
freeware app on the new machine and tell it what you want to do.
No more setting up IP numbers, MAC's, etc.
It does it all and very nicely I might add. The premium version starts
at about $30 I think but I didn't mess with that........... the freebie
is working fine.
YMMV
