Question 1

Is this a Router specific Adapter? Meaning it will only work with a Certain Model and or just linksys models? Or would it work with Asus - Netgear - Etc... ?

Accepted Answer

I purchased this card knowing it was made by the same company as my router. I am using Windows seven Home Premium 64 bit O.S and it works great. However under the Specifications it requires Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Vista 64-bit and should work with any router that has WEP, WPA & WPA2. Under features it has Compatibility with Wireless-A (802.11a), Wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (802.11g) Router Standards.

Question 2

Is this a good card for gaming/live streaming/uploading videos etc?

Accepted Answer

It is a decent card to work with, yes but since you mentioned gaming I personally would not recommend anything wireless at all.

This card was bought for a user that doesnt play games and just is just using it for video streaming and browsing. it is a decent card yes but when you throw gaming into the mix, I wouldnt recommend any wireless card at all.

I hope that answers your question.

Question 3

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 8.1 64-bit?

Accepted Answer

On Linksys support site, it shows the driver supported on Vista 32/64. I found in a Google search that a user was able to get it to work in Windows 8.1 by manually installing the Vista driver.

Question 4

currently have a Linksys wmp300n in the back of my computer.  dated 08/2008.  I think it died.  will the wmp600n work? if not, what can I do to get my wireless working again?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the best wireless cards that I've purchased. Works well with Windows 7 64-bit. I've purchased a few of these for other clients. This also comes with a low profile adapter for slim line computers.

Question 5

Would this work on this desktop?! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=83-258-020&newReg=y&turntoflow=question&turntoflowid=127693&turntoxauthtoken=MTkzODU4MzoxNDI3MjUzNDA1NDc4OjM1ZjYyMjdjMzIyNjZkNGI0MGVkOWY1N2M3YmEzNWZm#turntodone

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry - I actually don't know. When I purchased the adapter, I thought it would work with my computer but then when I took it to the tech to install, he informed me it was not compatible. I forgot what he told me was the reason. I had to buy a D-Link adaptor instead. I still have the Linksys - too late for Newegg return. Sorry, you should ask a tech person for help.

Yah it should work with any motherboard that has a PCI 2 slot. You should be able to look in your manual of the motherboard and It well tell you what slots it has. Then you just buy a wireless card to match the slot
