how can I make it wireless for my win 8.1 PC?

Ain't gonna happen, sadly. This thing requires two USB ports (one for the controls, one for the trackball and its related buttons), and the wires are quite long. Also, something else to note is that the Tankstick functions as a keyboard/mouse instead of a DirectInput or XInput device.

Interesting question. I don't think there is a direct or easy way to do this. The tankstick is basically a big keyboard. Each button/joystick direction is a keyboard button. Knowing this, it would require some type of modification to convert it to a wireless keyboard. It sounds like a project worth attempting. Sorry, I probably didn't help at all.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

It doesn't have wireless functionality. You can buy a USB wireless adapter, however.

try download the driver for the wifi. but it won't solve the problem 100%. also upgrade to windows 8.1

In case you are interested here is a mini-dongle:ASUS USB-N10 - Wireless USB Adapter - 802.11b/g/n

You can use a USB or an internal wireless adapter. For example, TP-LINK TL-WN881ND Wireless N300 PCI Express Adapter, 2.4GHz 300Mbps, Include Low-profile Bracket or Medialink Wireless-N USB Adapter - 802.11n, 2.4 ghz - Compatible with Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows XP (150 Mbps)

You Are correct. I bought a USB wireless adaptor. The performance of this thing is well worth that little inconvenience. Very fast!

I don't I recall but I pretty sure I installed the asus driver. I did not install the wireless connection software because typically that software is not needed: windows does that natively.

yes, I recently went to Win8 and it works much better than the built-in wifi. click on the network icon in the lower right and you should see both wifi adaptors if you have 2.

I am using the Link with Windows 8 without any problems, so I'd expect the same with Windows 8.1. First have a look if your router doesn't have a USB port for connecting a printer to it.

I think so but the instructions are for Windows users you can look at the manuel on the website you have to look in the 120n wireless to find it.

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.

It comes with Bluetooth capability, wireless AND hard-wired internet capability and all three work fine. Using Win 8.1. Setup was quick and easy.

Not by itself, you will need to buy a wireless network adapter. You can find one for 20 or 30 bucks on amazon, or a walmart, or staples. Just plug it into the usb drive and your all set. I am currently using a Lynksys AE2500.
