I have a linksys wmp54g wireless pci adapter for which windows 7 64 bit did not install a driver. Especially when that standard was supported in an earlier version of the device.īut I guess until enough of us complain. Browse to the driver folder on the linksys cd-rom e.g, d, \driver, and use the v4 version 4 driver, which is. I wouldn't expect a leading manufacturer to leave out a major security standard from their product. When this card was just bought new recently. I also shouldn't be forced to buy another card. As a customer I shouldn't have to hunt for a solution.
When they know a simple driver update will fix this.
Linksys shouldn't offer a product with inferior security.
This guide will walk you through manual installation of the WMP54G drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. I could care less about the chipset switch. However, if you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 installed, you’ll have to install the drivers for the card manually. That gives this card the proper security functionality it had with the version 2 model. This can be a bit hard to find as it's not hosted by Linksys/Cisco anymore and Ralink was acquired by MediaTek.
Linksys needs to get off their backside and release a driver update.

This is the installer for the driver & utility software for the Linksys WMP54G, Version 4.1 PCI WiFi Adapter Card. But I think I needed to copy a few DLL's from Ranlink as well. Tried using the Ralink driver with the Linksys software. Thus the reason we had the Linksys software previously. It kept dropping our connection right and left. Load times on the machine went to the horrid level with this new software enabled. I then installed Ralink software and driver. Well I tried putting the solution offered above into play. I'll have to play around and see if this might work. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer. This will help if you installed a wrong driver.
