Hi,
I've any wireless problem with 2 Windows OS: Windows Vista Home Basic / Windows 7
I bought a pen Wireless WiFi 11g USB Adapter, but when I connect to my usb port does not detect wireless networks.
I think the drivers are missing.
How and Where can I find and download these drivers?
On the back of the pen I can read:
usb2.0 wlan 802.11 g
model: act 668G

Anutechnologies,
This wireless pen is very similar to mine I downloaded the package for Win Vista but do not understand how I install these drivers.
There is no setup but only three files: athrusb.sys - athrusbext.cat - netathrusb.inf.
Could you please tell me, what steps do I have to install these drivers?

Browse to the folder those 3 files are in, using Windows Explorer
Right click on the netathrusb.inf file and choose Install
Windows should then copy the files to where they need to be.

If you right-click on the athrusb.sys file, choose Properties, and look on the Details tab... it should tell the driver version.
If it says they're version 6.19, go to http://www.wizyoung.com/hl-8700g.htm
scroll to the bottom of the page and Download the Vista drivers, which should also work in Win7.
Those should be version 2.0.0.117 in a file named HL8700G_Vista.rar.
That file includes both 64-bit and 32-bit drivers, in folders named x64 and x86, respectively.
