I've just received the above wireless adapter to replace a WUSB300N as it didn't like my new hardware and as the WUSB600N has Windows 7 drivers I thought It wouldn't hurt to try... How wrong I could be.
The new hardware is:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4
CPU: Intel i5 750 Quad Core 2.66
Memory: Patriot Viper Sector 5 1600mhz
Things I've tried with no success all with FRESH Windows 7 Installations (Yes I have reinstalled it a total of 6 times in the last 24 hours);
**Auto detect through Windows Update - Installs and says working correctly, but grayed out "Disabled" and won't enable.
**Installing the Linksys Windows 7 drivers through device manager, again Installs and says working correctly, but grayed out "Disabled" and won't enable.
**Installed the Ralink drivers and again Installs and says working correctly, but grayed out "Disabled" and won't enable.
Also randomly the PC wouldn't shut down, or uninstall drivers - soon as you unplugged the WUSB600N it completed the previously mentioned tasks.
The WUSB600N works perfectly on a Windows 7 32bit Laptop, with al the above drivers and evens connects to my SSID without any bother.
I've talked to the so called "Live support" and if I am honest "Peter" couldn't help me at all, but is going to try and find out if the P55 chipset is compatible with the WUSB600N. I'm extremely disappointed as the WUSB300N worked perfectly on Windows 7 64bit on different hardware AND that had no support, now I have the WUSB600N which does - it doesn't work!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to ask to have a CAT5 ran through the house, but so far it's looking that way.
Thanks,
DJ.
