Sabrent powered USB wireless antenna without RALink Utility

If you want to run the Sabrent powered wireless antenna without running the RALink Wireless Utility on Windows, be sure that you have the error logging service running as well as the zero config service and then bridge the USB wireless to your Ethernet conx in the Windows Network connections window.

Ignore the red 'X' on the icon and enjoy being able to "standby" or "sleep" without the aggravation of resetting the wireless connection when your desktop wakes up.

You may have to click "disable" for your on-board wireless, but that is almost certainly harmless. Check status to be sure that packets are going across the intended faster wireless connection !

Antennas have improved since we were kids ... but utility companies ?
