D.Arbib Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am currently using a Thomson ST 780WL router which has both LAN and usb connections, the latter being updated ib Device ManagerThe usb connection is necessary if I wish to use a secondary desktop and also because there is generally a router front panl light to indicate its connection.However Thomson have told me that they will not provide a driver for Windows 7 64 bit, even though they have issued one for Vista 64 bitI am trying to find a router with Windows 7 64 bit compatibility and whose CD will support Windows 7 64 bit updating of the usb connection in Device ManagerCan you tell me if you know of an appropriate ADSL router , pleaseDaniel Arbib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I dont understand why you would need a usb connection on your DSL router.If the usb connection isnt show up correctly, just redetect it and look at windows\inf\setupapi.log, it'll show the PnP ID. You can use this PnP to try to find compatible drivers. If you have a vista driver setup, just extract the .exe and look for the inf. I would think a vista driver would work fine in windows 7.

puntoMX Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Leave the USB where it is and use the UTP with a small 5 ports network switch or so, this way you will have no problems and it's connected at it should be . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
