I've got a D-link g wireless router (provided by my cable company) i was looking at the WUSB300N, should work with my G network but I've read up many problems because there are not windows 7 compatable drivers.
Does anyone know a good USB wireless adapter that works well with windows 7??preferably linksys | My System Specs |

It's a Model F5D8055 V2 N+ and it came with Vista 64/32 and XP 32/64 drivers so I had to go to Belkin and download the software for Windows 7 64, the Belkin N1 adapter I use in my laptop came with the drivers on the CD.
