Wireless :: Netgear USB Adapter / Found Modem But No Connectivity
Aug 11, 2011
I am using two desktops. One is an old Windows XP running SP3, and the other is a new Windows 7. Neither PC is wireless. I set up the modem through the Windows 7 computer, and it is connected to the wireless modem through the Ethernet cable. (I hope that I am saying all of this correctly.) It's running just fine.Because the other PC is not wireless, I purchased a NETGEAR wireless USB adapter, go through installation and setup, starts and finds my SSID, add WEP key, etc, etc. In the bottom corner of the software it says the signal is good. In the toolbar it says the adapter is connected to the modem.Next to it, though, the network connections icon shows:
Wireless Network Connection
Speed: 24Mbps
Signal Strength: Good
Status: Limited or no connectivity
And so, of course, I have no connection to the Internet. Using the modem through Ethernet on the XP computer (switching the situation around, in other words) is not an option; the only phone line for connecting the modem to the wall is too far away.(It was stated more than once that I should use WPA instead of WEP; I haven't made it that far yet... I'm just trying to get this other computer connected.)
I know the network works because my work computer connects wirelessly.When I load the Intel My Wifi Utility it says Network adapter not found.What happened? I didn't do anything different or special...it just stopped working one day.I am running Win 7 64 bit. Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
I've been having this problem for a few weeks, at first I thought it was the internet itself, but the other computers in the house are fine. A few times a day it just suddenly stops working and in the bottom right hand corner of the screen in the internet options section it says currently connected to : unidentified network. when I click connect again it says wireless adapter not found, "Wireless Network Connection"doesn't have a vailid IP configuration. Sometimes it can stay off for a lot longer and it's generally random times of the day that it happens. I'm using an XPS L502X
Just bought this Linksys AE3000 Wireless Adapter. I followed the directions, run Setup on DVD....then plug unit it.Adapter NOT Found!Unit Blinks Blue light every 8 seconds..
Note, that when first plugged in.......Device driver auto downloaded...and said ready for use. I gather through Windows 7
I just downgraded from vista to XP on my Compaq pc that a friend gave to me. The hard drives were loaded with junk so i decided to do a fresh install with my Windows XP cd. Everything looks like its working great except it seems as if ive lost all drivers necessary to connect to the internet. Pretty much the computer can't even tell that theres a network adapter installed.
My desktop cannot go online suddenly and I reformat my desktop with Windows 7. There's nothing under the network adapter section. My house has wifi router and other laptops can connect to the wifi but my desktop (connect to the modem using cable), cannot.When I tried to run the troubleshoot, it says, it cannot find the network adapter and I have no idea which adapter I'm using.
My computer started shutting off and not turning on. I had installed new parts a while ago and so I switched the new parts with the old ones (power supply and Graphics card) and it worked again. But i couldnt connect to the internet and i did a diagnoses and it said adapter not found or correctly installed or something like that. I couldnt find the adapter either. I was going to download the network adapter driver from the dell website on to a thumb drive and install in onto my desktop but i do not know which one to download.
I am having trouble with my Wifi Driver. I have tried to install the driver many times but when I restart it shows that Wifi adapter is disabled. When I go to Device Manager to enable, In Network adapter, it shows the driver with the yellow triangle and exclamation mark and is already enabled. I dont know if I am missing anything while installing the driver. Last week I called the Dell support center for the same and they told that they can fix it if they get a remote access. But I can only access the internet via Wifi which is not working.
At my office we have a simple network using a Netgear WGR614 V7 router. 4 XP machines are connected via Ethernet cable and three other people are connected wirelessly (one XP laptop, one Win7 laptop and one Win 7 netbook). It appears that whenever the netbook is on the network, the other two laptops lose connectivity. The wired machines are fine. Power cycling the router and rebooting usually solves the problem.
Recently i am experiencing "limited connectivity" on all of the networks I try to access the internet with my laptop.My computer runs Vista Home Premium Service pack 2 and has an Atheros AR5B91 Wireless Network Adapter. To this point, I have tried turning off the wireless functionality on my laptop and turning it back on as well as disabling the adapter and re-enabling it through Control Panel --> Device manager.I have run into this problem on a home wireless network, a 3G mobile hot spot as well as a public wifi connection.
The Wireless lan device is not displaying at all on the device manager. I have looked on the HP website and it says this model has WLan device. I have tried installing the driver for the device yet not luck in the OS actually recognising the device at all.OS: VISTA (32-bits)Model: HP Pavilion TS2050EA. Any info about this error and any solutions i could try. I have thought about updating the bios but going to do that as a last resrot Things i have tried- driver installation- wireless button displays Blue (on)- windows add device tool
Recently, nearly every time I start up my computer, I can't connect to the internet. I have internet, as says my modem, what I don't have is an internet adapter. I've checked the device manager, and network and sharing center, and it just doesn't exist. I restart a few times and by chance it finds the adapter and I can connect. I have no idea what's going on, as Googling has not worked much at all.[CODE]
my wifi adapter is not found for dell inspiron n5010...
i ran the system information and i got as...

I have the model AE1200 usb adapter and its been working great for over 6 months, but lately it has been inconsistently working. It has stopped working then i have to reset the adapter and then it will work for a little bit and then it will do it again. is this a common problem or is it likely my adapter is failing? Is there an update that i am missing?
I got a Acer Laptop from my buddy that had windows 7 and when he had it his harddrive had crashed so he put in a older harddrive in it and installed windows Vista. Doing that caused the ethernet and network adapter to not work at all (says it need drivers) and I can't access the internet at all on it. I don't know if I can grab the drivers somewhere else or if I have to just count my losses.
I recently purchased a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter after my 6 year old adapter was unable to see my home network in the network list.
I installed the software but the adapter wouldn't connect to my home network so I reinstalled and updated the driver, still wouldn't work. Finally about 2 hours later it just randomly connected. Now it has been frequently (1-2 times a day) losing connection to my home network for around 3 hours, it can see a dozen networks in the list with full signal strength but won't connect to any at all then connects to my home network again several hours later.
I have switched between the Windows connector and the Belkin one and tried all 6 USB slots with no luck. I contacted Belkin support and they told me to try the device on another computer and see if the problem still happens but I don't have another computer to test it with.
I suspect this is a problem with my Windows installation rather than the hardware or router as my old card would freeze once every couple of days and was only fixed by powering off my computer as Windows was unable to kill the process to restart it.
bought a mini usb wifi adapter for my new computer i built from monoprice. the website says all u need to do is download the drivers from realtek and install and the unit will run. ive tried to install the driver multiple times, and when i go into the devices window, it says there is no device installed for the adapter. also after attempting to install, a bubble pops up on the task bar saying that driver did not install correctly after setup completes and reboots.
I have studio 1737, With my Intel WiFi 5100 AGN. I also instaslled latest drivers but when i want to scan for any wireless network it says adapter not found.
i am using Dell Inspiron N5110 for 9 months.Everything is working fine.But there is only one problem in my Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop ,that whenever I start my laptop instead of taking automatic Wifi connection it is taking manually.Every time I have to goto connect option.But Whenever I connect It says that adapter not found ,When I click troubleshooting then it says Turn off your router and again turn on.Every time i have to do this then connection starts.Why this happening in my laptop.
I have a Inspiron M5110 Laptop and was having some trouble staying connected to my internet so this morning I decided I would try and update the drivers. I have uninstalled the Wireless and Blue Tooth drivers and reinstalled them, but now, it won't even TRY to connect at all. In the bottom right corner, there's a red x over the wireless bars, and says No Connections are available. Before , it would have a spinning circle while trying to connect, but it doesnt have that at all anymore. My Ethernet connection is working fine, I even uninstalled and reinstalled that driver (REALTEK) and its working with no problems.
If I run IPCONFIG, the wireless adapter doesn't even show up anymore. I've tried resetting, disabling, anything I could think of. I tried several versions too of the drivers, but nothing is working. Right now, I removed it, so I have a yellow exclamation mark next to Network Controller in my Device Settings. My hardware ID for the adapter is PCIVEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_02051028
I think from the above info, I believe the wireless adapter belongs to Atheros.how I can get this thing to even attempt to connect to a network? I'm dead in the water...
I use a hardwired Ethernet adapter to connect to the internet from home. I cannot connect to the internet on the N5110 but can connect on my desktop PC. I look at the hardware device manager and cannot find an Ethernet adapter. This leads me to believe something happened to the card. It should show up in the hardware profile. I don't want to use a wireless connection. I want to use my hardwired Ethernet adapter.
How can get the system to recognize the device? I don't need to send it in for repair. There is some work I do that can only be done on this computer.
I purchased a computer which has a GA-B75M-D3H motherboard in it.I have been attempting to connect it to the internet with little success. I have a Thomson TG782T modem hooked to the computer by ethernet cable. The computer does not recognise the modem and the modem does not find the gateway on the computer. I have discussed the problem with Telstra and as far as they are concerned its not their problem due to the cable showing green and amber light into the back of the computer and the modem is working. The computer guys are saying that the computer is fine as they utilised the net to load the computer.
Im trying to install this on a Dell Demension 4700 with win xp professional, I get as far as the setup, but can't go any further, the software wont let me set up any wireless.
I have finally got netgear adapter to connect to router, and its connected, but not able to access any webpages. I am not receiving any bytes back. I had to manually type in a IP address, as it was not picking it up automatically. I have other devices connected to the router (laptop, ipad, iphones) and access web easily. I have tried hard resets, and shut downs all with no avail
My friend has had constant issues with his wireless network using his dated Linksys router. So he finally decided to upgrade to the Netgear N750. It's a dual band router that simultaneously broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. He setup the 2.4 band for the laptops and mobile devices to access, and the 5 band just for gaming on his xbox 360 Slim. He immediately ran into a problem. The 360 slim's built-in wireless card only picks up 2.4 GHz frequencies. To remedy this, he purchased Microsoft's xbox 360 wireless-N adapter as it can pick up 5 GHz frequencies. However, there was no change after plugging the adapter into the 360 slim. His HP laptop can see the 5 GHz network just fine, so we know it's being broadcast. Could it be the xbox is out of range of the 5 GHz band? Is the adapter not functioning properly with the 360 slim?
