Wireless USB devices compatible with Windows 7 64-bit

Question

I want to upgrade my Vista 64-bit edition to Windows 7 64-bit, so I've installed and run the Windows 7 Compatibility Test. The only item that is being highlighted as incompatible is my Zyxel G-202 wireless usb network device.

Does anyone know of a wireless USB device that is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit?

Solution

Here is a list of all wireless adapters compatible with Vista 64. These should also be compatible with Windows 7 since to my knowledge the network stack hasn't changed much.

Thank you for the list, however it seems that although, as you say, nothing much should have changed between Vista and 7, the majority of usb wireless adapters with Vista 64 drivers (such as my own, a Zyxel G-202) are not compatible. I've done some research and there are many forum posts from users in my situation (migrating from Vista to 7) that find themselves with incompatible devices.

Have you tried running the installer in compatibility mode setting it to Vista, maybe a long shot but still...

I'm a bit nervous of upgrading to 7, just in case things don't work - as the wireless usb is currently the only way I can connect the machine to the web.
