    Looking for a good wireless adapter

    Hi,

    I have a WG111v2 which I bought just to be able to use Vista x64. It doesn't work well with games though, so I need an adapter with no dropouts and x64 support. Would be nice with some recommendations.

    Howdy! I am also on the lookout for a good wireless adaptor. Was going to get the WG111T as I have a WG111 now and have been very happy with it.
    When you say the WG111V2 is not good for gaming, does it work under normal circumstances or only under high traffic conditions like gaming?

    As far as I know there are no x64 drivers yet :-(

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I have found out that the D Link DWL-G122 is Vista x64 certified! They have the x64 drivers and installation guide on their website.

    I have ordered one and should receive it tomorrow so will post the results.

    Did you use that netgear adapter on windows vista 64bit and if u did where did you get the drivers. The reason i am askin is because i have the same adapter and i cant get it to work under 64bit vista, i also have a linksys wusb54gc wireless usb stick that i cant get workin either and its a huge problem atm for me because i dont have any other kind of network on this comp atm so i am forced to use the laptop.

    HI bamselinen, the Vista 64 drivers are here ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DW...iver_3.0.1.zip

    REgards

    Please note these will only work on hardware revision C

    I know these work because I have Vista Ultimate 64 and they work for me :-)

    Alternatively check this Download

    Hi!
    Concerning the linksys wusb64gc try this driver:

    64 bit driver for Linksys WUSB54G - works with Vista RC1 - Wireless Adapters - Linksys Community Forums

    I've done it for my wusb54gc and it works fine.
