Ok So you bought your modem and you have Windows 7 (64 bit O/s) but it keeps coming back asking for you to install the A600 modem files. So I wanted to talk briefly about how to get it to work:

• If you haven’t Bought the Modem yet — You will need to go buy it first to go through this process. The A600 modem is the only one that will work with Windows 7, and that is from Cricket Wireless.
• Once you receive your Modem — Plug it in!!
• Go through the new setup process — Let it try to install the software. (You can download the newest software from Cricket directly: Click this link)
• Once your have install the software you will see the Quicklink modem menu but you will not be able to connect. You will need to go to the Modem virtual CD rom location. This will have a directory in it called ‘WIN‘. There you will find “setupdrv.exe“. You will need to double click that and install the drivers. It will ask how you want to install it, you should pick the recommended settings.
• This should show bring up an icon showing that drivers are being installed. Once you have it say that is installed. You can then go to the final step.
• Double click the Cricket Icon and try to connect to the network. (If you still can’t connect, you should call Cricket and see if you have a service problem)

After I did all this I could connect to Cricket Wireless without a problem. Every time I insert the modem, it can now find the modem and I can connect to Cricket without a problem. I hope this helps solves the problem and encourage you to tell everyone who is having problems with their Cricket Wireless modem to send them to this blog post to help them fix the problem!!
