Hi, I just put windows 7 on my Dell Dimension E510 and it is awesome. I am having the problem of getting the wireless adapter Model No. WUSB11 ver. 2.6 to find the access point which is only 20 feet away. I used this for about 2 years no problem on xp. Then i switched to xp black edition no problem. After installing 7 I have installed the adapter to my pc and it is not finding anything. As of right now I have the Ethernet cable plugged in which is pretty sweet and fast but, i rather keep that in my ps3 lol. I really have no idea how to get this to find the router again but i will say, i have lost the installation cd but installed it off of the linksys site. Any help would be sweet, thanks.

I see something that says other devices - Unknown device !

[etaf]

whats under network adapters

I suspect the unknown device may be the wireless adapter - if not listed in the network adapters section

you need the windows 7 driver for your wireless adapter - anything on the dell website ?

[lllKinGllErtOlll]

Network Adapters
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

I cant see a wireless adapter for that PC on the Dell Site
http://support.dell.com/support/down...ON%205150/E510

they talk about a USB device

Did you get the wireless adapter from Dell ?
or is this a seperate item
whats the make and model of the wireless adapter

is this it from 1st post Model No. WUSB11 ver. 2.6

[lllKinGllErtOlll]

It was seperate.

Linksys Wireless Usb Nework Adapter 2.4GHz 802.11b

Model No. WUSB11 ver. 2.6

[etaf]

driver here
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/...USB11/download
choose version 2.6 and should see the driver below

Not asking for OS - so may or may not work on windows 7

[lllKinGllErtOlll]
