Welcome Xsaimon!

If you are referring to the Wireless USB Hub Parallax used to sell, it will probably not work under Windows 7. Windows XP was the latest that it would support.

I just plugged in my GUWA100U into my WIN7 machine, and it is not recognized. That's why I keep at least one WIN XP machine around.

But to work in Windows XP,

You have to be "Service Pack 2 "?

because i have xp but is "service pack 3 "

Yes it works on Service Pack 3. I had the service pack installed long before I bought the hub.

Xsaimon,

If you can't get your wireless USB to work, there may be other options for wireless communication/control.

If you let us know what you're trying to communicate with wirelessly, we might be able to suggest alternative solutions.

I always thought the wireless USB sounded like a good idea. It's too bad it's not a common alternative.

It should work for most USB devices.

Here is the manual:
