This thing works fine, but my whole reason was to purchase it for my vista 64-bit. It work okay on my window xp and vista 32-bit, but not on my 64-bit. But I guessing I would have to wait for the 64-bit driver to come out. Am kind of pressuring them to release the 64-bit driver because if a device is not compatitable with different OS, they won't earn a business. It's kind of hard to get this thing to work correctly at first, but anyway, i did it. I have to install three software from the official site. First and Third step, go to the official site and search for the exact driver. First install the driver 'GUWA100U' for the adapter. Now Uninstall it through control panel. When it ask you which do you want to remove; remove the associate files with it. "Do Not remove Certify USB driver" Second install the driver from the CD that come with it. Restart Computer. Third install the driver 'GUWH104' for the USB HUB. Now you are ready to use your wireless. Run the program, and follow direction. It should work. If not, repeat steps. Or it could be that you have the same OS as me.

I was excited about the potential for this product, but found in practice that the wireless connection was difficult to maintain. For some reason it loses the connection and the USB transmitter must to unplugged and plugged back in to regain it. It thought my bluetooth keyboard and mouse might be intefering, but I tried it on a PC without bluetooth with the same result. I also updated the driver, the bios, and tried it on both Vista and XP with the same result. It's OK for occasional use, but not a long term solution for a USB connection due to its inconsistency. It can also be used as a wired hub, so I decided to keep it just in case I needed to go wireless for something, but its kind of expensive for a simple 2.0 wired hub. Too bad.

To all those out there looking at this product, it will not work on all versions of Vista. The 64 bit version of Vista will not allow it to install on my computer. So I just threw away money on a product that claims to work on Vista.
