XP compatible Wireless cards/adapters?


Roffen

Recommended Posts

I have an old Plexgear USB wireless adapter that I am convinced would run with XP - but I can't find a driver on the web, and the mini CD with driver that I have had for many years, suddenly disappeared. Where can I find/buy XP compatible wireless cards or USB sticks?

Best Buy still sells Windows XP compatible wireless adapters. Best Buy is like a candy store if you like electronics.

I highly recommend Netgear because they have a excellent track record of providing legacy backward compatibility, even with their newest products.

I just bought a N600 (WNDA3100) last month for a laptop that needed access to WPA2 networks, the old G cards are spotty at best. The Netgear only requires a Pentium 300MHz with USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. This model has over 1900 reviews on BestBuy.com, with 4.5/5 overall rating, and 93% of customers would recommend it.
