Can i get a router that is windows 8 compatible uk

[Geoff_50]

Hello,

Bought a new HP Pavilion computer but now found that belkin and netgear router adaptors are not compatible. Is there anything out there that is going to work with windows 8.

You mean a USB stick..... a WiFi card that's compatible with Win8. The router hasn't got anything to do with it right?

Well, here is one from another forum...
Quoted:

" I did install the Trendnet TEW-623PI first I downloaded the latest drivers from RaLink for the RT2860 chipset that was dated 11 Apr 2012 so they must have had Windows 8 in mind. "

Laptop/desktop and are you using wi-fi or a dedicated input from router.

would concur with alyoshka, if wi-fi it is not the router.

Currently only have win 8 on my laptop (about a year old) and I have had NO problems with connection at work nor public access (ie Doctors office, Bowling center). AT home my router and Cable modum are quite old and I also have no problems.

If the "belkins" refers to a USB wireless adaptor, then have you checked Belkins website for a Windows 8 driver.

Try this link: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q=belkin+wireless+g+usb+adapter+windows+8&oq=Belkins+wireless+USD+adaptor+for+windows+8&gs_l=hp.1.1.0i22l4.1420.23838.0.28612.42.41.0.1.1.0.686.8600.0j22j16j2j0j1.41.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.2.hp.l7cWzKEWUN4&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41867550,d.b2I&fp=47adb63d00368a85&biw=1547&bih=764

If the driver is loaded try "Right hand click the exe. for the driver and run it under windows 7 compatibility mode"
If not loaded then as mcnupty23 suggested try the windows 7 driver - Bu install using windows 7 compatability
