Question 1

Can I download the driver online, I do not have a CD Drive in my notebook?

Accepted Answer

Check out the edimax web site and look under products.  They have a driver download.  You can find the site by cpy and paste the entire description found on the Newegg site onto your search engine.  Not too difficult if you can follow what I'm trying to say; not sure if I'm clear enough.

Good luck; and a peaceful Christmas season.

Question 2

am having problem with networking... my lap top does not show any  network to connect... can I use this to connect to  on my laptop?

Accepted Answer

this company made a mis-step when it said adapter works with XP.......not so if this is the way your going... little cost for adapter so i just ate it......electronics are always suspect when it comes to compatibility...its a big chance......internet will show up when you ask your computer  to locate those in range....but there is more....like identity of ssid and pw (key)   .... when the bars show up you know to connect ....  assuming all identity is entered correctly....good luck

Question 3

I'm looking for a USB adapter that I can plug into a Blu Ray player to get wireless access, when there is no firewire capability in that room.  I don't know much about wireless networking yet, so my question is will this adapter work if plugged into a player or other device (so, NOT a computer or something that can install drivers) to allow me to connect that player to my wireless network?

Accepted Answer

No!  You'll need a universal wifi adapter.   I would post a link to some sold here on Newegg but I am not allowed to post links.  So type: "Universal Wifi Adapter" in the search bar it should direct to what you need.

Furthermore your blu-ray player will need to have an ethernet port it won't deliver internet over usb.

Question 5

Are you carrying or going to carry the v2 model in this product?'It is a green version with low energy consumption

Accepted Answer

Looking at their site the dongles look Identical except for there is a V2 on the V2 version.
Often manufacturers only produce 1 version so once the V2 is out they stop making the original and ship the V2 instead.
Most vendors will not update their site since it is the same model number.
Just one day their shipment will have V2 instead of the Original and sell as the regular model number.
Newegg goes through so much stock that if V2 has been out for a while there is a high chance that if you order it you will get the V2.
The only way for them to tell you would be to actually look at the product and see if it is V2, and often the box will be the same and the device is the only thing showing V2.
A lot of hardware go through 2-3 or even more versions, it would make Newegg really hard to navigate if there was a dedicated page for each.
