Vista 64-bit Wireless adapters

[Velocity10]

Linksys told me the same thing, but ten minutes later I was at Best Buy and they found the Linksys RangePlus Wireless PCI Adapter Model No.: WMP110. It works right out of the box with Vista 64 bit. Though it appeared to not work at first, a quick call in to tech support had me up and running in minutes. No drivers to add or anything. It just worked when they walked me through the steps: First confirming with Device Manager that it was indeed installed and working correctly (it was) then Start - Control Panel - Network & Sharing - etc.

yeh but what about Vista 64?

AG-320
802.11a/g Wireless PCI Card
Complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g

- Software Access Point (AP) support
- Instant wireless network setup and connection with One Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)

Excuse me but if computer is new, will installing the PCI card ruin your warranty? Thank you

Hi Every One
I have installed SBS2008 64bit on my High-end PC/server.
I had a Ralink PCI card but the Wlan application kept on Crashing and when i enabled my wireless card(the driver was instaaled without any issue) the card automatically disbales itself.
I have now bought a Canyon wirelss card and it does the same.
Can anyone help me with a solution.

In general, it will not void your warranty. That's assuming you don't break it in the process, but this isn't likely.

I am also looking for a Wireless card. One person in here linked to the Trendnet 623PI. I DO NOT recommend this adapter under Vista 64 bit. It works, yes, but I recently purchased one and while the card reads 270MBps with my router, as soon as I start a download the thing can drop all the way down to 1MBps or less. This obviously isn't good as I occasionally need to transfer files that are over a GB on the network. I've tried more drivers than I can remember with the thing, all with the same results. Newegg refunded my money without even asking for the POS back. All of this was with a high-gain antenna as well.

I've reverted back to using my WRT54G as a wireless bridge because it performs much better with a consistent 54MBps connection. This still leaves me with slow data transfer over the network though.

Does anyone out there own a wireless N adapter that they've personally tested with Vista 64 that can keep a solid 300MBps even during file transfer?

I am in the same boat, and after doing much research, it seems a wireless bridge is the best way to do this. Earlier in this thread, Madwand mentioned using the bridge, and I think its the best way to do this. You skip all the driver problems, have a bigger selection, and the bridge will generally provide a stronger, more consistant signal. One product I was looking at is this ethernet converter, its a little pricy, but dual-band N would be very fast;

So try http://www.ralinktech.com/ for drviers if you have a different one as they have drivers for other OS and they may work with your model

I see the drivers at Software->Windows (from the menu on top)

but do these drivers just work with their own products? I am having the same problem, having bought an EDUP IEEE 802.11 b+g USB Adaptor and it installs on my Vista 64, but the utility doesn't come up. Looking for a driver first, before going to purchase a new adaptor
