    One can curse, moan and complain trying to find and install drivers. Or one can wait for the much promised, soon to be released, support. Or one can go and buy a personal hotspot such as the Cradlepoint CTR-500 personal Wi-Fi hotspot that will work with the 595u and connect in a couple of minutes through your wireless card or using an ethernet cable and avoid all configuration issues. A simple choice. In my case, I needed to connect 3 Ones and it seemed a relatively painless way to do it as I would have needed a router anyway and using the CTR-500 I could share one 595u with the 3 Ones. While I was at it, I also bought an external antenna and amplifier for the 595u to greatly improve throughput and range. It all depends on your application. Best of luck.
