I used the bridge for 2 years on my laptop running XP and it was great. Most of the installation issues folks have is with the security settings on their wireless router. I had to replace that laptop and Windows 7 is all I could get. Unfortunately the software does not work with Windows 7. Windows 7 has been out long enough for Linksys to have the software updated but it appears they do not. Bottom line is if you have Windows 7, don't buy this. Mine is useful only for the blinking blue lights. Nice decoration.
