The Zonet ZEW2500P has a 5 egg Newegg rating...
Prudent to use a mainstream, name brand adapter in these early days of Win 7.
This is the best selling wireless adapter on Newegg. Wouldn't that qualify it as mainstream?
No. Best selling means cheap usually means lousy engineering. Common sense.

Mainstream+consistent quality = Linksys, in terms of likely having proper drivers for the very latest operating systems. Alternative might be ZyXel. But Netgear, D-Link, no: they are marketing heavy, engineering poor.

Using non-mainstream with cutting- edge operating systems is always a problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22657249 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:24:49 EDT Re: Looking for Windows 7 compatible USB wireless adapter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22656865 SoonerAl : I have a ZyXEL G-202 802.11g USB adapter running on a Win7 RC1 (build 7100) 32-bit laptop using the Vista drivers from the included CD. This USB adpater also runs under Ubuntu 9.04 natively.

The Zonet ZEW2500P has a 5 egg Newegg rating and is Vista compatible but not listed on the Microsoft Windows 7 compatible hardware list. Does anyone know for a fact that it will be Windows 7 compatible or should I assume that since it's Vista compatible, it will also be Win7 compatible?

If your running 64bit make sure their are 64bit drivers available at the manufactures website, just in case.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22655557 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:04:01 EDT Looking for Windows 7 compatible USB wireless adapter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22654881 lmacmil : The Zonet ZEW2500P has a 5 egg Newegg rating and is Vista compatible but not listed on the Microsoft Windows 7 compatible hardware list.
