W7 Driver for LAN-EXPRESS
Monday, January 18, 2010 by PoSmedley | Discussion: Windows 7
My step-son got a new PC for Christmas and after building his desk and all we finally got aorund to hooking everything up. However, the wireless tower won't work on his PC. The disk I have is for 32 bit drivers and his new PC is 64 bit.
I am looking for drivers for a LAN-EXPRESS IEEE 80211b WLAN USB ADAPTER
I have looked all over and and most of the available downloads are from pay sites or 'questionable' sites that want you to sign up and then want all kinds of info.
If anyone could help with this, I would appreciate it.

11:16am - I now have the new router and 2 new adapters.
The tech couldn't get WIndows 7 to let the wireless network through so I had to show him. That's funny.
I ran a test on my internet speed with Time Warners/Roadrunner test and then one on Speedtest.net.
As far as what I am supposed to have...I don't know. This is all the info I could find on what I should have.
- 3. How fast is Time Warner Cable?
- Time Warner Cable offers 5 Mbps Download and up to 512 Kbps upload.
- and
- Road Runner offers five tiers of service: Road Runner Lite, Road Runner Basic, Road Runner Standard with Power Boost, Road Runner Turbo with Power Boost, and Road Runner Extreme with Power Boost. Road Runner data rates vary by level of service and area. The averages for these services are:
- * Lite - 768 Kbps/128 Kbps *
- Basic - 1.5 Mbps/384 Kbps *
- Standard with Power Boost - 7 Mbps/512 Kbps (bursts: 10 Mbps/512 Kbps)
- * Turbo with Power Boost - 15 Mbps/756 Kbps (bursts: 25 Mbps/1 Mbps)
- * Extreme - 30 Mbps/5 Mbps (bursts: 50 Mbps/5 Mbps)
- These are the speedtest results.
- I don't know how to tell if the speed is where it should be.
- Thanks again for all the help with this.

Looks like you have the standard plan.
The best they could do for me was a little under 5 so they ended up giving me Turbo with power boost to get my speed up to normal. I end up averaging 15kbps on 3 tests via the Time Warner speed test. The best I can do for up is 490.
Funny, in Summerville they don't offer the Extreme.

Cool. As long as I am getting what I payed for.
Just got done hooking up the boys PC and installing Firefox and antivirus and getting rid of bloatware.
I'm insanely jealous.
He has WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
A new 26" HDTV I have hooked it up to.
A new PS3 hooked up to the HDTV and the PC
I built the desk myslef. Instead of some bulky thing that takes up what little room he has, I put in a 6'ft counter, shelves. He has all his hardware on the shelves leaving the desk wide open. His room looks so much bigger and really kinda crisp and clean now. I'm gonna have to get a pic to post after I finish it this weekend.
His PC is so freakin fast as well.
I told him all he needs now is a nice leather swivel chair with a matching footrest and he's golden.

Yrag, you still lurking around?
I got the dang thing running and wireless connected. Then I went and intsalled WOW.
It keeps crashing.
I looked around and a lot of folks have the same issue with 7 and 64 bit. There's also a lot of bad advice.
Two things I caught that made sense 'to me' were this..
WOW and the two expansion packs and all patches need to all go into the same folder c:\\ users\public\games - however, the last pack (lich King) does not give me that option, though it appears to go there. One of the patches goes into the program folder.
The other was trouble shooting the compatability. It suggested XP w/service pack 3. It ran for about an hour on this when it crashed. I tried Vista SP1 and it crashed in 5 minutes.
Any ideas? The boy is going through WOW withdraw and I feel terrible. I can usually figure things out but this has me stumped.

What is the bandwith for this area and how do I check it? I thought I heard it should be 11kbps, not sure.
