There is no problems using WIFI in Windows 7. Problems, if there are any, will lie with the hardware - or more likely with the drivers for the hardware. Either way the problem lies with the hardware manufacturer. Virtually any USB adapter will work - but check first that the model is compatible with x64 OS's. There are PIC/PCIe/PCMCIA alternatives depending on your hardware, but USB is often the best, simply through simplicity and ease of installation. Not knowing where you are makes it difficult to make a recommendation, but go to any major on-line store and they will have a dozen alternatives available to you. If you want to play safe, stick to a recognised brand: Netgear, Belkin, Linksys, Buffalo, D-Link etc... I particularly like Netgear stuff... historically it just always been reliable. |

External USB Wi-Fi card could be an option or even PCMCIA. You can find a lot on Tigerdirect or ebay. Site that sells IT stuff. |
