Re: Looking for Windows 7 compatible USB wireless adapter
said by 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. 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? Prudent to use a mainstream, name brand adapter in these early days of Win 7. |

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. |
