Linksys Wireless-G USB network Adapter with Speedbooster

[Charlesd]

Hi

Can anyone please help?

we have just installed windows 7 and need a hardware driver for our Linksys Wireless-G USB network Adapter with Speedbooster.

We have tried a version 2 driver which has failed. Windows 7 says 'wrong driver'. Where can we get a driver that works?

Thanks

Did you download the drivers directly from the Linksys site?

There's no W7 version available yet, but you should get some luck with the Vista driver

V2: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WUSB54GSv2_v4.1.20.0.exe
V1 : http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WUSB54GS_20050428.exe

Try running them in compatibility mode. Also, you might need to do a manual install by locating the inf from the device manager entry.

I had the same issue and the Linksys Vista driver was a bit dodgy as well. I used this driver instead from Ralink and havent dropped wireless connection yet

here is the link:

i used this driver: USB
(RT257x/RT2671/RT520x

hope this helps

Should work

I have the same adapter and had the same problem... I found these drivers, but the problem for me is that my adapter is not finding my home network all the time. It is finding other networks however.
