I have a sabrent (Ralink essentially) wireless USB dongle, and with Win7 it freezes my computer as well. I only get about 15 minutes before it does. I have heard many issues with wireless adapters and Win7.
Hi net rat
it workd a treat i am now up and connected
many thanks
I'm having these issues with my WUSB600N adapter. Saw all the posts with issues too. I'm going to try a few things when I'm home tonight. Have you tried using a different driver then the one Win7 uses out of the box? Also, I read using a powered USB hub may help. Not sure any will work, but I'll give it a shot later.
I tried the most recent drivers from the web. I don't remember exactly where I got them from, i believe they were from the official site. I didn't try with a powered hub, just straight plugged into my computer. I have the WUSB600N as well.
Hi jnfoot,
Have you tried installing the drivers with 'compatability' for Vista. I had an issue with my on board wireless (up untill build 7068) where it was not detected so I had to install the Vista drivers with compatability on & they worked a treat.
Might be worth a try :)

Everything is directly connected but whenever i am playing a game online or running a lot of information it drops the connection. And I am in USA. Rather annoying.
