Re: Linksys Wireless G USB Adapter issue..

Would anyone know if installing a linksys Wireless G USB adapter could make
my internal wireless adapter completely disappear. I installed the Linksys
without much problem. After seeing that it didn't work that well, I
uninstalled it and returned the product. The next time I started my
computer, I couldn't find my wireless adapter and couldn't connect. It has
completely disappeared. HP want's to charge an arm and a leg to help. Does
anyone know how to either enable it or re-install a wireless drive again? I
don't think it can be enabled, because it can't be found.

Hey charles,

thanks for the link to the Ralink driver. Works pretty good so far.
followed your advice and used the same driver that you did. After reading
about the issue you have with rebooting and losing the adapter I decided to
reboot after I installed the Ralink driver. After reboot, my wireless
adapter hooked right up. Device manager saw it and everything.... makes ya
go hmmm.... will research it a bit more. let me know if you did finally
find a fix. thanks again for your help

I had this same exact problem with Vista Business. First of all the
Linksys driver is extremely buggy for Vista. With XP it works great. I
found part of the solution on the web and that is to use the drive from
Ralink which I guess makes the chip inside the adapter. Link is

I used the USB (RT257x/RT2671) driver and it works great. Now the other
part of the problem I have not found a solution for. Whenever I reboot my
computer the adapter is simply gone. Its not in device manager and not in
my network connections. Only way to get it to be recognized by windows
again is to manually uplug it and wait a few seconds then plug it in
again. After I do that it hooks right up to my network and connects. If
anyone has a solution to it please let me know.

I have a issue with my Linksys wireless USB adapter. I am trying to use it
with Vista Home Premium. After installing software... I plug the adapter
in (like directions say) and windows update goes to work. It updates the
driver , installs correctly, I then connect to my home network and all is
good.

My prob is for some reason I lose internet and the USB adapter itself.
One time I switched users and lost all.
I have tried uninstalling adapter and tried reinstalling by pointing to
my D drive (install CD) in hopes of using the driver that's on the
installation CD. as soon as it saw everything.. windows update once
again gave me the same buggy driver. I have tried to install with UAC
disabled... no luck... the Linksys website/support for drivers has the
same updated driver. I tried to use an older one but Windows keeps
forcing this updated one down my throat.

My network works well... I think it is a linksys driver issue... . is
there a way to fix this?

by the way, I used the same adapter on a XP Pro SP3 system and worked
like a charm... could browse internet and adapter worked well.
