Linksys WUSB54GS ver. 2.1 Driver

[inQontrol]

Hello everyone!

This is my second post on the forums, and I sure hope it's a good one.

I'm looking for the above mentioned driver. Would anyone happen to know if this is available somewhere? It's not on the Linksys site, yet.

If you know and, for some reason, don't want to share it on the forums, could you please PM me the info. to me?


Thanks,

Im not sure why you wold want a driver from 2005 but you can find it on this page. Since you didnt specify 32bit or 64 Im assumng 32. Its here Linksys by Cisco - WUSB54G Support

Ziggy,

I appreciate the prompt reply, but that driver isn't working. I don't want a driver from 2005; I'm simply looking for a driver that'll work on Windows 7 32bit (build 7600), my current OS.

Even my WUSB54GS was manufactured after 2005 (in 2007).

I have the initial disk (and drivers) that came with the adapter, but I'm fairly certain I need either a Windows 7 specific driver, or some sort of generic one to use as a temp. until Linksys releases one for Win7.


Any more ideas? I'll take whatever you can pitch. Right now, I'm connected to the internet through CAT5 on my laptop, which is connected via wireless to my network.

Regards,

Try using the newer driver and install as admin in compatibility mode. It might help. I dont know where else you would get a driver from so I will have to search brb

Edit: I dont know if this is any different but it is from a different source http://www.findmysoft.com/drivers/download-Linksys-WUSB54GS-5-1-3538-0-network-card-driver.html

Hi.
I cant figure out if you have tried using the original disc or not but i have the same unit and its working fine using the original disc.

Fliplip,

Are you serious? Although envious, I'm really glad to see yours is working.

However, unfortuantely, I have tried using the original disk... and it doesn't appear to be working.

Did you install it on build 7260, and then upgrade to 7600?

Thanks for the help, but I'm starting to think it may just not work on 7600....
Considering it is the final release, perhaps it only works on previous builds, like with Fliplips?

 

[Fliplip]

It was a new install of 7260 and then i wiped it and put 7600 on.
Im just going to try it on another PC now and ill let you know exactly how i did it in about 10mins (hopefuly).

So we know you need a driver. I assume you dont have connectivity, right? What does the linksys look like in device manager? installed and working or unknown (yellow triangle). Have you tried un-installing what ever is there and letting win 7 try to find it for you?

Im in for the duration and im subscribed to this thread so I get email whenevr something is posted

Right.
Ive just installed it on my main PC, running 7260. But it definitly works on my sons 7600 as this is the only PC we really use it on.
What i did was to copy all the files from the original disc (other than acrobat 6) and set the setup.exe to run in compatability mode. I set it to XP SP3. Then i just run it and followed the instructions.
I remeber now that this didnt work by running it directly from the disc.

Hope this helps.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear you're stuck here... hopefully we can resolve this quickly. If not, I can just wait it out, use my laptop as a hub (ha ha), and cope in the mean time.

Yes, I need a driver.

And yes, it's unknown (yellow triangle).

Well, there it is. I've uninstalled all the drivers, but even after installing them initially it would say this.

I'm really, really curious as to why Fliplip's is work and mine isn't.

 

[zigzag3143]

that sucks. and it works on another computer. what does linksys support say?

Great, thanks! I'll give this a shot and get back to guys (and/or gals).

Good luck.
I did have the "this driver is already installed, please remove it first" error after trying to instal from the disc but after uninstalling it and then running the setup again from my desktop it seemed to go without any problems.

I'm simply looking for a driver that'll work on Windows 7 32bit (build 7600), my current OS.

I checked the Vista compatibility site and found the WUSB54GS is Vista 32 bit compatible:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/co...o&uid=WUSB54GS&pf=0&pi=0&s=WUSB54GS&os=32-bit

From here there is a link to Linksys and a driver dated 2007:

Linksys by Cisco - WUSB54GS Support

Worth a try?

I just installed windows 7 yesterday and ran into this same issue with the WUSB54GS.


Here are my specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB


I was using vista home basic 32bit as my previous OS and the drivers installed perfectly. I went about installing drivers the same as before but looking for 64bit if possible. The device manager says it is the correct device but i cannot get the drivers from their site. It seems as if we'll have to wait for new drivers or the finalized version of 7?

Hello glhf, and welcome to Windows Seven Forums! Glad to have you on board!

I would kindly suggest you re-read the previous post as it says the Vista Compatibility site says this device is 32 bit compatible NOT 64 bit compatible. My suggestion would be for you to go to the Vista Compatibility site and search the "network" category for 64 bit devices that you will need to function with your 64 bit Windows.

Then, the next time you have a question, know that it is all right for you to post a new thread and that we will reply as soon as possible. That way, your issue with a 64 bit system doesn't get mixed up with, as in this thread, a 32 bit issue. That sometimes makes it difficult to sort out what answers are for what issue.

Happy 64 bit surfing!

Robert
