Wireless N network adapter cards for Windows 7
Hey guys:
I am looking for a wireless N adapter card for my computer. I have tried several Linksys models and have had no luck. What are some known models that will work with Windows 7??? It doesn;t have to be a Linksys product.
Thanks

Laptop or desktop?
Also, Win7 32 bit or 64 bit?

Thanks m8. I bought it today.
thanks for the points, but why only a "B" grade?

I spoke with the Linksys technicians and they that there are currently no working wireless N access cards for Windows 7, 64 bit OS. The only card that is working is a wireless G(It's the WUSB54GC ver. 3) There are 4 versions of this particular model and only ver. 3 is compatible with Windows 7 64 bit. I don't know if they are correct or not, but I did order the card.
I have the WMP600N here. That was the 1st card I bought and tried to install. I tried the drivers on the cd and then the drivers on their website and none of them worked. I will post back here when I attempt the install on the WMP54GC and let you know how I make out.
The techie said that they are waiting on Microsoft to feed them the info they need in order for them to create the proper driver. I thought he was feeding me BS, so I did some research on a wireless N by D-Link. When I got that techie on the phone I asked him about their wireless N adapter and he told me virtually the same thing.
Who's knows??? So as straight forward as your answer was it wasn't. I hope thats a good enough explanation for a "B". I didn't mean to be insulting at all.

Thanks for clearing that up. It's amazing that 7 is based on Vista, and most Vista drivers work on 7, but for some reason wireless drivers (more specifically N cards) are so much trouble.

No problem on clearing it up. Like I said, I'll post back next week when I try to install that usb stick they said should be compatible. And by the way,... thanks for answering my thread. I don't know if you noticed, but you were the only one that did.
Merry Christmas and all that good stuff!!!
