    My problem is as follow. I have a laptop hp dv6 win7 64. Since the last week the wlan adapter has been behaved strangely. It works for some seconds then it fails to see or connect to any network although at device manager it looks as if it works properly. I usually fix either with disable and enable or by removing and installing a new driver. but lately this methods does not help. This problem occur with different win7 64 OS. But the wlan adapter works fine with linux ubuntu. Thanks

    Which of these wireless adapters work in windows 7?
  • Bruce Connor

    Well, I just upgraded one of my machines to windows 7, and it turns out that my usb wireless adapter just isn't working. There is no driver for it in windows 7 (yes, I've looked everywhere). So I'm willing to buy a new one, but want to make sure it's gonna work perfect. So it either needs to have a windows 7 driver or have a vista driver that works under windows 7.

    I checked my local hardware store, and there are no adapters there with drivers for windows 7, but there are some that have drivers for vista. I don't mind using a vista driver, as long as it works OK. I'd hate to have a buggy internet connection. These are the ones I found that have vista drivers:

    Encore Eletronics: ENUWI-G
    Encore Eletronics: ENUWI-N
    Linksys: WUSB300N
    Linksys: WUSB54GC v1.0

    So I ask thee: Has anyone here tested one of these Wifi USB adapters in windows 7 64bit? Did it work? If it did, did you have to do anything special?

    Thanks in advance. I tried asking the actual salespeople at the store, but they don't know.

    EDIT: Forgot to say, it's 64bit.

    At first, the WUSB54GC v1.0 did work with Windows 7 64 bit. But later it went into a code 10. Microsoft do have a list of wireless adapters that will work with Windows 7. Also, they are working on drivers for the WUSB54GC to work on the Windows 7 64 bit.
