Wireless Adapter that works on Windows 7 64 bit - GoFuckYourself.com

shuki · 11-20-2009, 12:11 PM

I am having a hell of a time finding a USB wireless adapter that will work on a 64 bit version of Windows 7.

Anyone here have any ideas or luck on a specific model that will work.

Thanks

I just picked up a Belkin N 150 and on the box it says it works on Vista 64 bit but no good on my Windows 7 64 bit system.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a 2 year old D-link Draft N adapter that runs on my laptop with windows 7 but its not a 64 system.

I have a Linksys Dual Band Wireless-N Ultra Rangeplus (WUSB600N) and it works great.... even worked with Ubuntu without having to do more than plug it in and enter the key.

Thanks I will have to try this one out. Your Win 7 is the 64 bit version?

I just bought a new Linksys USB adapter but I had to download the Windows 7 driver from their site.

It will work on any system with an ethernet port, because there's no drivers to install.

That looks interesting. So how do you get it to work? Do you plugin a networking cable from your computer to that device?
