routers that are accessible

This is a bit hard.  Windows refuses to identify the Belkin as anything more 
than a "Belkin 11MBPS Wireless USB Network Adapter."
And whenever USB.c in Linux detects it, it says that it isn't claimed by any 
active driver.
Essentially what I have is a little device, about the size of my hand, with 
two antennae sticking out of it.
