Hi all,
Does anyone have any suggestions for using the US Robotics Wireless USB Adaptor (USR805422) with Vista?
I have tried so many different ways. Even by connecting through the wired LAN and getting windows update to download an updated driver...
I have been in contact with US Robotics, and their only advice was:
Thank you for contacting USRobotics.
Unfortunately when it comes to your operating System, it is still a BETA version and not even Microsoft supports it , therefore we have no drivers for it
This product is not supported on Windows Vista.
I have since emailed asking if they have a beta release of the drivers, can I test them out, but no reply as yet.
The drivers appear to work after a reboot, and in Device Manager, it is showing as working, but the light is on all the time (normally only flashes on data transfer). Vista knows it is a Wireless USB adaptor, but when it you select connect, it says something on the lines of there is no wireless network within range...
Thanks in anticipation!

Look at network discovery saying off not on and not giving the chance to put it on. I turned on two services in the services.msc: SSDP and Universal plug and play. Then I went back to the network discovery, clicked on and VIOLA it stayed ON. I hope this helps at least to see the adapter. By the way I suggest you to use the USR 805422 drivers and not the ones for USR 805423 even if the last ones are Vista compatible and the other ones not. Do as I say: start vista. Insert USR adapter... insert USR driver CD you have. Fllow the install wizard vista starts indicating the cd as source for the drivers. This way you won't have the USR interface installed but only the driver. Start those two services and cross your fingers. I am going to do the same... for I am now moving to Vista partition to start the same procedure. I'll keep you updated if by anychance I manage to make it to the end.
