One computer (Vista) with the Verizon Fios modem.
(Supports G and N technology)
One computer (windows 7) with a wireless usb G type adapter.
Just purchased a new Linksys N600 (dual band) USB adapter.
Question: Do I need to uninstall the drivers for the old G adapter before installing this new adapter?
Thanks

If the wireless G adapter is built in to the computer, I would leave it alone. However, you should have the option of turning it off. The N600 will show up as a new adapter.

Well .. That does it!
I have given up on the new adapter!
I have tried EVERYTHING to get connected with it!
Even with the available networks showing .. It still wont connect!
"Invalid key manual" showed up once after trying everything else?
I entered the correct security key and nada!
(Not even sure that is what it means?)
Then I got a "No prefered network selected" message!
When I say that I've done everything .. I mean everything!
Un-installed both adapter drivers.
Installed drivers over and over and rebooted each time.
Tried safe mode with networking .. nada.
I have given up!
Funny thing .. The G network adapter re-installed and ran on start up .. No problem!?
I have heard that this Linksys adapter gives a lot of folks problems?
(Well not anymore .. It's going back!)
