Hey! I need help (obviously). I recently purchased Edimax EW-7718Un WiFi adapter and my Samsung LED UE40ES5500 is not seeing it. What can I do to make them work without messing with the TV. Windows solution much appreciated. Please advise!

Perhaps it is needed to change VID and PID of your wifi adapter?

Indeed. Can I do it under Windows 7 Home Premium?

In theory, yes.
In reality, I don't know if any program allow to do that. You might use "VM" with USB attaching to it.
Or just use linux, which is far better O.S. than win....

Thanks. You just confirm what I have alread found out. I cannot use VM without updating my Windows. I will consider switching to Ubuntu. I hope most of the software will work there.

Theory : No one stop you to build a program that changes pid/vid values under windows.
