Any got experience of wireless N dongle that works good in Vista 64?

OS: Win Vista 64 Ultimate

hmm dunno mate, but my motherboard has built in wireless (B/G/N) and that works just fine for me.

I would suggest when you look for USB wireless adapters (I assume that's what your looking for) to check for "works with windows vista" or "vista certified" to be sure.

Maybe a D-link DWA-140. It had Vista 64 drivers on their site.
D-Link DWA-140 RangeBooster N USB Adapter
I saw many good reviews about that one.
It also works with this drivers; Ralink Technology: Windows

Personally, if I were you, I would buy a new motherboard with wireless automatically built in, that a way you get some increased power and you have your card.

I have a mini-itx motherboard (Intel DG45FC) and a custom chassi.
I rather not change that one...

Ok, I found this one for you, USB so its external and its fairly cheap. Not sure if newegg ships to Sweden (pretty sure they do) but if they do, this is the place to shop for anything tech.
