I need something that will work with 64-bit Windows 8, preferably with drivers specifically designed for Win8 x64.
My old Linksys WRT54G adapter was not recognized (at all), and the new TP-LINK WN851ND I got today has a whole host of issues--every time it connects to the Internet, the PC freezes; trying to install the drivers/utility software in compatibility mode (as per the "fix" on Microsoft's support site) resulted in the utter destruction of my Win8 install, forcing me to re-install Windows.
I've spent the whole day building a PC, and this is my only day off this week, so I want to get everything done that I can. I really need some advice/help here. My only other option at this point is a 50ft ethernet cable.
Please.
