The dongle is 1.1 compatible so should work, have you installed the software and drivers first before plugging it in, I am presuming you are using xp? on the lappy, if you have sp2 then you should be able to use usb2.0, even so it should still work on usb 1.1.

if you didnt get it to work m8 download latest drivers (if any available)uninstall the old ones and reinstall.
some time the only way to do it

sorted it thanks guys for input, funny that the usb device came with old drivers yet the router (same make) came with extra cd with usb drivers on it but updated ! for any usb devices you may add to it lol anyway the prob was i could connect to networks (or see em anyway) only at front of my house and not the back were i was playing with it so the range is a bit short ill put that down to my lappy not havin usb 2.0
