How do I install the LinkSys WMP54GS Network Adapter under Windows 10?

I am posting this question in order to post the solution that worked for me.

Linksys does not have any support for the WMP54GS PCI Network Adapter anymore, so someone may find this useful.

I found that the following worked for me (Microsoft - If you see this, please add compatibility for this device) :

1. To install LinkSys WMP54GS wireless Network Adapter in Windows 10:
2. Right click on the driver in Device Manager and select update driver.
3. Select "Brows my computer for driver software"
4. Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
5. Uncheck compatible devices
6. Select "Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, Inc."
7. Select the "Linksys WMP600N Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual Band" device driver, ignore the warning and install anyway. (Please note that this driver will not start the hardware)
   
8. After it errors out trying to start the device, right click on the driver in Device Manager and select "Update Driver".
9. Select "Search automatically for updated driver software" (If you try this first - before following this procedure, the Broadcom driver Windows selects does not work)
   
   Windows will then download a compatible driver. It will install and activate a different "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter" driver.

The device should now work.

 

Unable to install Linksys wireless adapter(dual band)

Hi Mona,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Are you trying to install the drivers for Linksys wireless adapter drivers?

2) Are you trying to install the drivers from the disk or website?

3) Have you tried downloading the driver file and then installing it?

4) Have you tried to reset the adapter?

If you are trying to install the driver using set up file, then I suggest you to install it in compatibility mode and check.

Refer the steps to install a driver in compatibility mode:

• 
  Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
  Properties
  
• 
  Select Compatibility Tab
  
• 
  Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list.
  
• 
  Let the driver to install and then check the functionality.

Linksys WUSB600N V2 wireless adapter: Windows 10 installs wrong driver(follow-up)

ArieHome start a discussion about Linksys WUSB600N on Windows 10.

Linksys WUSB600N
adapter: Windows 10 installs wrong driver

but, it was locked.

I have the same problem as ArieHome, but more worse. So I can only start a new discussion.

I want to using a Linksys WUSB600N V2 wireless adapter on a clean installation Windows 10 Version 1803 PC. Windows auto installed the driver, and the adapter can not scan ANY SSID at all, as ArieHome mentioned.

I followed ArieHome's step to force Windows using the drivers from linksys support web page

WUSB600N Downloads,

This is how to force the driver update by using "Have Disk":

Open Device Manager

Right click on wireless network adapter and choose Properties

Driver TAB and click Update driver

Select Browse my computer for driver software

Choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Select the proper wireless adapter

Now CLICK on HAVE DISK...

Browse to your 3.2.1 driver folder, select the inf file and click Next

The driver replaced normally, but dosn't work at all. No matter whether Windows 7 Driver Ver.3.1.12.0 or Windows Vista Driver Ver.3.2.1.0,
the adapter can not scan ANY SSID as Windows 10 auto install MediaTek 5.1.16.0 Driver.
