I'm having the same issue with mine. It's an old Shark HD 2.0. I bought a new computer when for some reason my old one wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi after I moved to Missouri.

I use a porter cable router and it protrudes about a 1/4" from the bottom of the clamp. That said, you...

I had windows 8 at first and later when it came out I upgraded to 10. So I'm sure, either way you do it, it will be fine.
