    Posted: 03 Nov 2009 at 2:55pm
I just received my DS rig. Yaah for me !Ouch 

One problem, I tried using my linksys usb (WUSB54GS ver1)

and Win 7 does not like.  From what I've read on cisco and various other forums, it doesn't look like this device will ever be supported.

Can anyone recommend a good wireless solution?

I'm currently connecting to linksys router  (wrt54gs).
Plan to upgrade to Gig/N router at some point.

I lean toward linksys since I've had pretty good experience with them overall and I'm familiar with their config.

Ok, to answer me own question...

Bought Belkin N+ Wireless USB Adapter (F5D8055) .

Had a little trouble getting it installed. Windows 7  issues mostly.

I ended up downloading and installing, from another computerHug , latest driver prog. and running it in Vista sp2 compatibility mode -- otherwise I kept getting error that it only worked in Win xp/Vista.

I then fumbled around getting it connected to my linksys router.

Was looking into similar issue with linksys wireless-usb N if it's supported by win 7 64-bit or not.  Since DS offers it with their win 7 OS i'm assuming it will work with the 64-bit version as well.

I must have missed that. I didn't see network adapters as an option to add when customizing.

As the linksys usb adapter I was using was version 1 of linksys's wireless-g with speedboost, it was quite old.

I suspect wireless-n adapter should work but, like I said I had to fiddle with things to get it to install.
