Hi!

Do you know any 802.11n PCI or USB cards that work properly with Vista 64?

Thanks in advance, namq

Namq, welcome to the Vista x64 Forums

I found a list of wireless adapters and their compatibility with Vista. As long as they have a signed driver, it should work with x64.

Here's the list: D-Link Eastern Europe

There's also a Microsoft interactive web site for hardware compatibility you can review: Windows Quality Online Services: Windows Vista Hardware Compatibility List

I hope this helps.

Re: 802.11n drivers for Vista 64

Thanks for the quick reply, but the 2nd page's not working and the first one is only about Vista, not Vista64 compatibility. As far as D-Link is concerned, DWA-547 has Vista driver, not Vista64 (I contacted D-Link's support about that). Linksys's card isn't working either. Maybe there are some unsupported drivers?

Namq,

Here's a link to a Microsoft list of x64 compatible wireless cards:

I tested it twice, and it loaded both times.

I hope this helps.

The Intel 4965AGN works fine for me under Vista Ultimate x64 with a 802.11N Draft 2 compliant router... in my case a LinkSys WRT600N.

Re: 802.11n drivers for Vista 64

hello all,

i have been searching all over the net for a driver to work for my DWA-547 and i thought this migh be the right place to find some answers. so far i have tried installing card - then drivers = didnt work. so then i tried installing drievers - then card = didnt work (tried this coz most of d-link stuff needed to be installed this way in the past). but nothing i do has worked. i am running vista ultimate 64 bit. can someone please point me in the right direction as to what to do??? also the other thing is that when i install the drivers from the cd that came with it, it finishes the install (sorta) but right when it gets to 100% is says to me "cannot find the wireless card, insert wireless card now" which i think is crasy, because it keeps trying to do an update of the drivers for the card . . . that it cant find WTF!!! so yeah, can someone help me out.

thank you heaps in advance (reply to jimmystranger@hotmail.com if you want as well, that wud be awesome)

Not everything that is listed as compliant is compliant. The Netgear WN-311B is listed as compliant, but Netgear admitted, when we couldn't get it to work, that it had some 'issues with Vista 64' and that they were developing a new product to serve in that category.
