answer to this question is very simple its the same as a desktop computer. if the card is the same type as your slot in your laptop and the card will physically fit in the space provided for the wifi card then yes it will work. Its just a PCI card fitting into a PCI slot, very simple.

You'll have to check brand compatibility. Generally though, if the notebook has an Intel processor in it, then it'll work. I used this in my mom's HP laptop which is probably 6-7 years old now.

This card is not for the mini pci slot, this is the newer pci express(PCIe) and should work in your windows 7 laptop, the other is questionable. Send me the model of the vista laptop and I can check it out.

Your processor speed shouldn't matter nor processor type. As long as the socket type of the mini wifi card is identical to the socket it will connect to. The newer the OS, the quicker windows will find the driver for you. The older it is, then you will most likely have to find it. Should work if the sockets are the same...

I bought it for our Toshiba Satellite that has Windows Vista, but it didn't work. I was told by the company that it doesn't work on Vista, only XP, Windows 7 & 8.

I have used this for my Windows 7 pc. Although some people say it works with windows 8. To confirm that, you need to check: http://us.toshiba.com or their toll free phone number.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

Yes. I'm currently using Win 8.1 with all updates and everything is fine on 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Personal note...Don't forget to use the "WLAN" control center software that came with the dongle. It simplifies things. Also, my router is the Asus AC1900. Pricey but, worth every penny. It's a home network beast. It is able to broadcast on both bands at the same time. I had another router that said it worked on both bands. Sadly, not at the same time. Make sure your router can deliver whatever your looking for.

Hello. Yes this adapter will work perfectly for the application you are talking about. It does not matter what brand of adapter you use with your router as long as you follow the setup instructions during install. MS Vista is fine as well. Have a great day.

Windows 7 should be fine running older stuff. My complaint was how slow the machine is. VERY SLOW unusable slow gotta return it slow.

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

Checked Google Images for a view of the motherboard, and it appears it'll fit. And if it fits, it'll work. I know drivers are available for both Windows7 and Vista because I've had both O/S's running on my Toshiba Satellite and the card worked. As long as the card physically fits in the space your laptop allows, and you're running a compatible O/S, then there's no reason it wouldn't work on any laptop. Its a generic card, that Windows has its own drivers for (though you can still find the driver set for it via Google.)

The Toshiba official site writes: "Canvio Connect I and II must be connected to a PC and WiFi environment. (PC must be on or in stand-by mode)"

I looked up that laptop on the gateway site. I know the Intel is a "mini" pci. Meaning it is only about half as wide as a normal laptop pci card. According to the specs on your laptop, it is currently using a Broadcom wireless card. I can not find a reference to if it is a mini or not.If the Broadcom is a mini and you do get this card you will need to go to the Intel website to get the drivers for XP for it.

I tested it with an old Vista laptop before I put it permanently on a Windows 8.1. It worked fine with both Vista and Windows 8.1, so I can't imagine it would have any problem with the OS in between.

Yes, I have configured this network card to run using hostapd, the configuration is a breeze. In order to utilize the 5 ghz you must ensure you install the most recent driver. I had to manually install the most revent iwlwifi driver. The setup I have configured is using hostapd and dnsmasq.

Yes, we have two Vaio's...one Windows 8, the other Windows 7, and they both work fine. Each system had to reach out to internet for drivers, but both hooked up fine.

Absolutely, I have been using it for 2 years with no problems. Windows 7 64bit. Of course to get the best speed you will need usb 3.0 ports. Luckily, my laptop has 3!Enjoy, Arlie

Sorry for the late answer. Yes it should work fine. My setup is an E6400 running Win7-32 connected to a dual docking station with 4TB and 3TB (Seagate and WD) drives running 24/7. Additionally I use a 500GB laptop drive to transfer data via the adapter. For the price there is no better solution.Hope this helps.

Toshiba Canvio works great on my Windows 8.1 PC (USB 2.0/3.0 ports). Haven't tried it on a Windows 7 PC.
