Linksys Wireless-N USB Adapter
This superb wireless adapter was very easy to set up and is certainly very powerful. We live in an old house with very thick walls and the adapter connected easily on the third floor with our BT hub on the ground floor. It is also sufficiently powerful to connect from the other side of our garden with the hub in the hallway. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

|It is compatible with Windows 7….,

I’ve seen a few reviews on here giving this product a low star rating because of its claimed incompatibility with Windows 7, yet Linksys do claim it is on their website. I have it working fine on Windows 7 64-bit.
Firstly, you ditch the CD. Then plug it into a USB socket, either directly or using the extension/stand. Windows will no doubt tell you that device installation has been unsuccessful – this is what we want as it shows they are connected correctly.
Hit Start and start to type “Device Manager”, open said Device Manager and Navigate to Network adapters. You should see “Linksys WUSB600N v2″ with a yellow mark next to it. Right click it and go to Update Driver Software, and download the Vista (32 or 64bit) drivers from the Linksys website under the support section – yes I do mean the Vista drivers.
Once you have downloaded the folder, you will have three folders within that, Mac OS X, Vista32 and 64, keep the one relevant to your operation system, (right clicking Computer is a quick way to access the relevant system information) and extract this folder.
Go back to the Device Manager section and select “Navigate my computer for driver software”, navigate to the folder you just downloaded for whatever OS you have and select it. With any luck you will be up and running shortly afterwards.
I can confirm that the Vista drivers do work excellently with Windows 7, and that I was connected with a WRT160N at 270Mbps 2 minutes after plugging the adaptor in.
Signal strength is fine, and the blue flashing LED is cool. In summary – it IS Windows 7 compatible, just with a bit of playing around. Good luck folks.
