USB adapter with windows 7 x64

[M4T VW]

Ive just spent an afternoon trying to get an old Linksys one to work and it wont.:mad:
So need a USB wi-fi G adapter that will work with Windows 7 x64.
What are you guys using?

I'm using some Belkin USB dongle.. Had to get the drivers for the actual chip (Rai-Link 2500 or something random like that) though, as Belkin didnt even make drivers for vista.. It works though!

Went for one of these.
Plugged it in and......."No drivers could be found for this device":mad:


Lucking i still had the cable in so just did a windows search for the drivers and it installed after about 5 mins:thumb:

Glad you chose that one and are now enjoying windows 7 wirelessly ;)

Do not EVER try to update the drivers and connection interface for this, EVERY Neatgear USB dongle I have tried to update has gone doolally (tries to connect on channel 800 BILLION).
I have had so much grief on two different PCs, with two different Netgear dongles, that I now use the built in Windows network controller.

Also, Netgear DGN2000 routers refuse to talk to TPLink "N" spec WiFi cards.
