Is this router compatible to wndows 8?

Yes, in fact you only used the web to set up. There is nothing to install even they ask you to do.

Tracy, I don't know. This was a deal gone awry. I could not get tech support from Netgear, because, this unit was so old.

I would say yes. I hate windows8, but this Cisco Wi=Fi connector can even overcome that. Have fun

The second two answers are both correct, and so was the first poster: set up the router with an iPhone/iPad/ or other ios device first. BUT THEN, you should definitely go get the utility also! When you do, on the first opening, it will appear "up to date," but shut it down, then reopen it. The utility will automatically update the router firmware and get you the newest utility for Windows. And BTW, I run Win 7, not 8, and the Apple Support Web site does not list Win 8 as being supported, so it may not work with 8.

Pay careful attention to the models. You can update for Win 8 at Premiertek's site if needed, but should work with 8 just fine. I know this model does:POWERLINK Speedy2 Wireless 300Mbps 802.11b/g/n MIMO USB Adapter 28dBm w/Dual High Gain 5dBi Dipole Antenna Improving 6X Signal Reception and 3x Speed For PC MAC and Linux

It will work for any Operating System. A router's function is independent of the operating system of the devices on the network.However, I did not attempt to use the CD provided software with Windows 8. I just connected my laptop to it via an ethernet cable, allowed the router to assign (DHCP) my laptop an IP address, then used Firefox and the router's web interface to configure it.

Yes, I have Linksys Dual Band N900 (E4200 v2) and recently got a PC with windows 8 (64bit). It worked well with the new OS.

It has worked with all Windows versions up to 7; I don't know about 8. It is not wireless.

I can't say for sure about Windows 8 compatibility, however i see no reason it would not work. The Signal King is basically just an antenna to increase the range your computer so you can pick up WiFi signals. My home WiFi transmitter is in the house and I use a computer in the garage probably 75' from the house. If the weather conditions are right it works to connect me to the internet. If not I do not get a strong enough signal to connect. I had no luck using it at all until I drilled a hole in the garage and mounted the antenna outside pointed directly at the WiFi device in the house. Mounting it outside gave me moderate connection results in good weather. I think the product is fine but due to my distance from the source transmitter it only gives me limited results for successful internet surfing. Hope that helps you. Peace and Love.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the August 2013 firmware. I don't have any problems with the router, but my use is pretty simple.

Yes. I routinely use the WRT54GL with Vista.Basically, any wireless system that uses the 802.11g standard (which is nearly any wireless-equipped computer today) will be compatible with this, or any other "g" router, regardless of the operating system one uses. For example, I use Windows XP, Vista, Linux, Mac OS X, an iPod Touch, and an HP wifi-enabled printer with my router and none of those systems have any problems connecting to the wireless network.

Yes. I have both A Windows 7 machine and and Windows XP connected to this router and both work fine.

I really don't know. Would think so, but I have a different router. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Short and sweet answer here...No.Download the latest firmware, use the built in Wizard WAN+2LAN to configure the router. That will set eth0 as a DMZ, eth1 as the WAN port, and the rest as local switch ports.It's not a simple device like a Linksys or Netgear, but it's not too tough now that they've added the wizard.

Operating system will not be an issue for the router. If you had been looking into a wireless adapter, the question of operating system may have some bearing.

This has nothing to do with your operating system.I can answer yes, but understand that isn't really compatibility issue. Your computer connects to the router to surf the web, your operating system has no impact on if that works.

Yes it is compatible. i love my router so far, next thing i will buy me a 2Tb disk drive. It is noisier than my previous router
