The Linksys WUSB54G wireless network card is an old piece of hardware. After upgrading to Microsoft Windows 10 or 8, the device stopped working properly. Microsoft Update installed drivers that would work for a few seconds, but then would disconnect repeatedly. Fortunately, I found a workaround.
I located some community drivers for the WUSB54G. They were intended for Windows 7, but I modified them slightly.
Download Linksys WUSB54G Drivers for Windows 10 & 8 (Please don’t hotlink the file)
Note, I had to disable the Windows Driver Singing feature to get these to install. Use them at your own risk. I’m not responsible for any damage.
Also, for some reason, I had to rollback the drivers shortly after I installed these drivers. Windows decided to update them without my intervention. Since the rollback though, everything has worked solid.

July 1, 2017 at 4:28 amWhen USB is plugged in and Win10 says it is not installed properly …
Download driver from official website, here: http://www.linksys.com/tr/support-article?articleNum=148577
Just unzip, do not install driver, because installer only for Windows 7 down.
Open “Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Devices and Printer”
Find “Wireless USB”
Open “Properties > Hardware”
Open “Properties” again then “Change settings”
Update the driver from the extracted folder
Your old Linksys WUS54GC ver.3 or ver.1 working properly

September 14, 2016 at 4:41 pmwindows 8/8.1/10 just look for update your device from the device manager ;)

May 3, 2016 at 4:49 amIf your having trouble do this and you don’t even need his driver.
-In the device manager find the 802.11 device (pull it out and put it in again to find the one that disappears and comes back)
-click update driver
-click browse my computer for driver software
-ignore the file location box under that is an option let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer click that
-click network adaptors
-under ralink find rt 3072 802.11b/g/n wireless lan usb device install that driver bc the linksys uses the same chipset and it should work like a charm.
I figured this out bc Windows would not “find” his drivers for whatever reason

June 16, 2013 at 9:46 amThe new network “Wifi 2” is shown, but it´s deactivated?
Mitch says
January 30, 2013 at 8:03 pmAs long as you unzipped the file, I don’t know why Windows wouldn’t detect the driver file.
Justin says
January 30, 2013 at 7:54 pmWindows does not recognize there are driver files in the directory I unzipped the archive you have on here. I have ‘Disabled Device Driver Signing’. Can you offer any advice?

January 17, 2013 at 12:16 pmThanks so much! Worked for me too – I didn’t have to roll back drivers, either. It’s absurd that the Windows Update drivers just don’t work…

January 16, 2013 at 2:57 pmMany thanks for the drivers, worked perfectly!
