AE1000 will not enable in Windows Server 2008 R2 - 64bit

[zpetersen]

Server 2008 r2 is basically windows 7 so I am not sure why this isnt working. Anyone have any experience getting this device to work on Server 2008?

AE1000 is not compatible with Server 2008.

YES, THE AE1000 IS COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS SERVER 2008 R2 64 BIT EDITION.   DO THE FOLLOWING:

1) INSTALL THE DRIVERS PROVIDED BY LINKSYS FOR WINDOWS 7 64BIT

2) ENSURE THE DRIVERS ARE PROPERLY LOADED AND THAT YOUR HARDWARE DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROBOEMS UNDER DEVICE MANAGER

3) CLICK START, TYPE SERVER MANAGER, OPEN SERVER MANAGER

4) INSTALL THE WIRELESS LAN FEATURE.

5) JOIN YOUR PREFERRED WIRELESS NETWORK USING YOUR AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIALS (IF ANY).
