Linksys Drivers - Vista 64bit

NotAGolf · 16 Jul 2007 at 12:13

I'm trying to install my linksys wireless usb adapter (WUSB54GS) on vista 64bit but i'm struggling. I put the disk in to run the installation and when it tells me to plug it into the usb port, I do and nothing happens, no light on the adapter and the installation exits with no messages. So I went on the linksys website and downloaded the vistra driver but I dont know what to do with it. I thought I would just go into device manager select the adapter and choose to update driver by manually selecting the driver, so I did this and it said it cant find anything. Any ideas what I can do?

According to their website, there is currently only a 32-bit Vista driver available. You'll just have to wait and hope they release a 64-bit version, or buy an adapter that has the Vista support you need.

There are 64 bit drivers available just not from Linksys. I'll see if I can find the link again.

EDIT: Actually when I installed mine WUSB54GS - I just let Vista search for the drivers and its all working. Try plugging in the adaptor and letting Vista search for the drivers.

Did you do this when it was connected to the internet by a cable? I know it can work cos I've had it working before but I couldn't remeber how i did it
