Wireless USB adapter isn't picking up my network

[swayyy]

Hi All,

Recently my roommate moved out and I had to get my own internet service. Prior to the change my D-Link DWA-125 was working fine. After the change I can see the network; however, I couldn't connect. I decided to re-installed the driver and now it's not picking up any network. All other wireless devices are connected. So it's not the signal. The driver is updated.

Also I tried installing another wireless usb adapter and it's the same result. While installing the driver I would get a message saying I aborted the installation and the adapter can not be found. I can see it in the "device manager". Could it be a firewall or virus program preventing it?

Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please uninstall all the drivers and if they don't successfully uninstall all the way I recommend you downloading something called Driver Fusion from the following site: http://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion

and it will completely wipe all traces of the wireless adapters and then you will need to re-install the latest versions of the adapter drivers and see if that helps.

DID YOU? WHY?

and the adapter can not be found. I can see it in the "device manager".

Where did you get the driver, from the PC support site or elsewhere?
To use the MS driver, click on the device and get the properties; update from there

Could it be a firewall or virus program preventing it?

Firewall controls access, not installs. The MS Install service will stop if nothing to do, so it must be set to AUTOSTART
