Linksys WUSB54G Drivers For Windows 10 & 8 (64-bit)

Linksys WUSB54G Drivers For Windows 10 & 8 (64-bit)

October 10, 2015 by Mitch Bartlett 22 Comments

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.

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.

    When 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

    Windows gives error saying that no driver exists for my device in the specified directory

    Windows does not recognize any of the files in unzipped folder as driver type files.

    windows 8/8.1/10 just look for update your device from the device manager ;)

    If 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

    Hi, thanks for the driver for WUSB54G for Windows 8. I downloaded the zip file and I am not sure what I should do next with the unzipped files. Please help.

    Thanks,
    Jag

    The new network “Wifi 2” is shown, but it´s deactivated?

  19. Mitch says

    January 30, 2013 at 8:03 pm

    As long as you unzipped the file, I don’t know why Windows wouldn’t detect the driver file.

  20. Justin says

    January 30, 2013 at 7:54 pm

    Windows 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?

    -Justin

    Thanks 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…

    Many thanks for the drivers, worked perfectly!
