US Robotics USR805422 Wireless USB Adaptor

[Guest]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any suggestions for using the US Robotics Wireless USB
Adaptor (USR805422) with Vista?

I have tried so many different ways. Even by connecting through the wired
LAN and getting windows update to download an updated driver...

I have been in contact with US Robotics, and their only advice was:

Thank you for contacting USRobotics.

Unfortunately when it comes to your operating System, it is still a BETA
version and not even Microsoft supports it , therefore we have no drivers for
it

This product is not supported on Windows Vista.

I have since emailed asking if they have a beta release of the drivers, can
I test them out, but no reply as yet.

The drivers appear to work after a reboot, and in Device Manager, it is
showing as working, but the light is on all the time (normally only flashes
on data transfer). Vista knows it is a Wireless USB adaptor, but when it you
select connect, it says something on the lines of there is no wireless
network within range...

Thanks in anticipation!

Aubs

Hi
I think that this Wireless USB has only drivers for XP/2000.
This is Not uncommon with old USB Wireless there are some of them with old
chipsets that can not use new OS' with better TCP/IP stack, and it is not
firmware correctable.
