The latest Vista driver can be downloaded from here.

Alfa Network

Could someone please tell me where I can get the latest XP 64-bit driver or share theirs from a new driver cd?

Why don't you copy the driver from your Vista installation? In Vista:
Right-click Computer -> Click Manage. This should open up Computer Management.
Select Device Manager in the left pane. Click Network Adapters, then right-click Realtek RTL8187 and select Properties. Select the Driver tab, then press the Driver Details button. This tells the names and locations of the necessary driver files. Copy them to a location accessible by your 7 installation. Update the network device drivers and when it asks you where, direct it to said location!

I found the real solution for rtl8187 driver in a spanish webpage but it's working even for 64 bits version of windows 7.
Here is the original link Taringa! - Instalar Driver Realtek RTL8187 en Windows 7
but I thought it would be useful too if I added the google translation to english and here it is:
Google Translate
Just download the file and update the driver for your wifi card (rtl8187) in the device manager at control panel.
IT WORKS FOR WINDOWS 7 32bits and 64 bits

Hope this will help many people.
Thanks

Why is that i cant find the wireless driver for win 7???

Have you tried Gateway Support - Drivers, Software and Firmware Updates ?

If they have drivers for Vista, that should work for Windows 7.

Here's a link to a thread where getting Windows 7 to find the driver for wireless worked - http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/31262-belkin-usb-g-f5d7051-2.html#post329940

It is for a Belkin driver, but the same procedure should work. Basically, you need to point Windows 7 at the place the driver's ".inf" file is.

P.S. - Welcome to Seven Forums.

Windows Seven Updates Rtl8187

Why is that i cant find the wireless driver for win 7???

When I checked or updates of windows 7 64 bits ultimate it found a driver for rtl8187 so I thnk you should check for updates and that is the driver I have working now.

 

[penperoni]

ok.... driver for that is kind of easy to find if everything is running ok.....
just need to go to the windows update....
BUT!
what if i'm running a windows 7 enterprise 64 bits and need that software Wi-Fi AP Solo that comes with the installation CD?
that's my case....
i REALY need that software! T_________________T
can anyone help me find it?

I tried RTL8187.zip 597.9 KB at
DriverGuide
It's for Vista but that worked for my WiBee USB Lan adapter Realtek 8187 on Win7.
You have to choose "..\Windows 2000 XP Vista 64bit Vista XP x64\Windows 2000, XP, Vista" for x86-32bit systems
or
"..\Windows 2000 XP Vista 64bit Vista XP x64\Windows XP x64, Windows Vista x64"

I hope it's useful.
Cheers.

anyone with a gateway laptop using the realtek rtl8187 go to the following link below and download this driver. it worked for me. took only 2 very frustrating days to find it. but make sure you disable all your firewalls and antivirus.
good luck

Nothing worked for me.

The drivers from the Spanish website didn't work for me. The drivers from the CNET link got the RTL8187 on my Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi motherboard recognized by Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, but I couldn't get it to connect to my network even though it saw it. I got a new USB wireless adapter, plugged it in, and my system immediately recognized it. Had no trouble connecting to my network. Didn't even need to supply drivers for it. $25 shipped if anyone is curious.

Zonet ZEW2500P

UPDATE: After I got the connection working, windows update found a driver that works for my RTL8187. I unplugged the Zonet adapter and got my RTL8187 to connect to my network. I don't understand why this was so difficult. The Asus website has no Windows 7 64 bit drivers for the wireless card. I tried searching on Yahoo and found nothing. If I was able to connect an ethernet cable from my computer to my router, I could have gotten the updated driver through windows update and not have to buy the Zonet adapter, but my computer is immovable for all practical purposes and I don't have a long enough ethernet cable. Oh well. Now I have to decide what to do with the Zonet adapter. Newegg charges a restocking fee for returns. Maybe I'll just eat that. Is there some other way I could have obtained the driver without having to go through windows update?

What website did you get that from? I imagine they will put the drivers on the same website you got their email from.

 

[hoganth]

Website

Realtek.com
"contact us"
A little misinformation though, they originally told me Win7 drivers would be available Dec 21 for the 8187L. Didn't happen. so I bugged them again.

 

[RobotCow]

I tried contacting them, and no response. Then after uninstalling in device manager and add new hardware, it worked. Still, windows is a POS I have to use for gaming.
