Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN Wireless Adapter Not Recognized
Feb 11, 2012
I have a Gateway FX series 17" laptop and yesterday when I got home from university and took the computer out of my bag to start working, the wireless card just didnt exist, no networks were recognized and when i tried to troubleshoot it told me that no device was connected. Wired internet works just fine. And the wireless card appears in the device manager.
Can someone link to Windows 7 drivers for this card Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. I have serched everywhere and I am only able to install vista ones but I want to install Windows 7 drivers instead of vista.
A friend of mine gave me a D-Link Rangebooster N 650 and when i got home and i plugged it into my PCI port, nothing happened. No LED from the card itself, no notification from Windows, nothing. I tried another PCI port but nothing worked.
I want to create an Ad-Hoc connection to be able to connect to internet throw my mobile phones so i bought a new Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link TL-WN551G ...
connected it to PCI slot .. and turned on my computer .. Windows recognized it and installed it .. i opened device manager and Updated Driver Software .. till now every thing is great and ok ... but when tried to install the Ad-Hoc Connection i got that message that they there is an error at my adapter ... i don't know how to solve this problem ... at TP-Link TL-WN551G page at their website they said that it's full compatible with Windows 7 and they even said that the Windows will install it's drivers automatically and that really happened .
I hate to admit it, but one of my recent purchases of hardware I can only get a driver for XP! It's a D-Link DWL-AB520 Wireless Adapter.
I don't suppose anyone knows of a way round this, or where I can get a driver? I've tried the D-Link Site and others, but no joy. I think I'm out of luck!
I upgraded from window 7 home basic to windows 7 ultimate now the wireless network adapter had deleted is there a link to reinstall so i could connect wireless?
I just got a new laptop with an Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN network card.
When I plug the Ethernet cable in the laptop it works fine but when I try to connect to the router wireless, it says it cannot connect.
I have tried unplugging the router and the signal is strong. I have set "network discovery" in the settings.
I have never used wireless before. I assume it's something simple. What other steps do I need to take?
I have noticed the signal from the router is VERY strong, then a minute later, it's not even listed. Do I need to set up a wireless network on the router? or do they automatically send out the signal?
I also set up WPA (personal) on the router. It asks for the password and says "Windows could not connect"
My laptop is Dell Latitude D505, OS is WIndows 7 Ultimate. I can not install Wireless card.My wireless card is : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapter?
Installed D-link DWA-140 on my laptop running Windows7 SP1,no problem with the installation.Clicked on the D-Link icon, up came D-link Wireless Connection Manager this was empty, clicked on new and entered my wireless network, clicked on activate, nothing happened.Went to Network and Sharing Center, On the left clicked on change adapter settings, my D-link Connection is showing Disabled, right click, then on Enable, changed to enabling, then enabled, D-link still Disabled.I have the message, Wireless adapter not found, insert the adapter now.My question is?. Where do I find the Wireless Adapter.I went to Device Manager then Network adapters the D-Link adapter is showing and there is No yellow mark on it, right clicked, This device is working properly.
Built a Win7 system last night, installed my D-Link DWA 552 Extreme Adapter and now everything just seems to be rubbish. World of Warcraft will post 2500+ ms, internet is dragging, and my life is crumbling before my eyes it seems.
Had no worries or issues with Vista or XP - in fact they ran fantastically. Thinking it's a Win7 issue having read over some other threads.
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7. Initial set-up went fine but I cannot connect to router. I have a MAC using the wi-fi and I can also connect an iPhone, a Linux, and another Acer laptop using Windows 7...but the new laptop is not working. My connection is showing on the menu but once I enter the security key, I get a message saying it cannot connect.I restarted the router, went over the whole router set-up again, connected the Ethernet cable to the laptop while trying to set-up the wi-fi, but after numerous trials, nothing worked.
My desktop d-link wireless card is causing my desktop to stutter. I have done a bunch of tests on my hardware / software / drivers, and I am sure it is a problem with the D-link card. I am currently at school where I have to connect to the internet using XpressConnect ( Cloudpath Networks - WPA2 )The stuttering effects the entire system (sound, video, keyboard/mouse, etc) and lasts for a few secondsdditionally, it only occurs when streaming video/music online, or when playing online games.I have updated the drivers, and I have installed the drivers without the D-link software using device manager and selecting the driver files from my computer.
Redlegs here from Adelaide , Sth Aust. Have had to replace my HP printer ( been given last rites after 5 years )with recommended Epson printer. HP was WiFi connected to laptop which is in another room from the PC and printer and had been working perfectly.I have brought the laptop into the room with the PC and printer. First problem arose as I was told " incorrect " password. Router is a DI- 524 ( no longer supported on D- Link's web page as 5 yrs old ) After several attempts and " hissy fits " , I was able to poke around in a help web page and I think I found the password , tho it was listed as the " Preshare Key ".Have been using the Epson Installation disc and things seem to go along smoothly , then it always bombs out --" Not connected " message appears, I print out a Status Report it's fairly long and a little hard to interpret , but it does say the password " does not match the one set for your router/access point" .I did have some probs when I first linked my previous printer to the laptop , some years ago , but can't recall the many steps I went through back then.Have got W7 , Epson printer model is WF 3520, laptop is a Toshiba.
I have the wireless adapter working fine, well it was working fine. The strength of the connection was only 2 bars for some reason as of late. I have other computers and they're all fine. So I assume maybe I can fix it by installing the drivers for it. The moment I install it the computer stops recognizing that I even have the wireless card hooked into my mother board! Did the driver installation break it? Because even it when it was supposedly done installing it claimed that I needed to actually plug the thing in! Even though it was working fine a minute ago. I've tried running the program but it wont even acknowledge my clicking. I tried unplugging and plugging the hardware in and that didn't work, I even changed its slots. I don't know what to do short of just reloading windows on it and skipping every using the driver cd.
Not a real problem but just wanna know how this is possible. I have 3-usb ports and they are all working when attaching mouse or usb stick or external usb harddrive and they are all usb2.0 ports.
I bought a sweex wifi usb adapter, plugged it in usb port and I heard ... ding dong... after 1 second ding dong etc etc. So it sees something and a second later it doesn't. It ended up with "unkown device" in device manager. and device manager refreshes all the time just as if it's plugged in and out all the time. So I went back to store and there it's working fine.
I tried 2 of the 3 usb ports end there's the same problem. But when I plug in in 3rd usb port there isn't a problem at all!! It finds drivers automatically from windows update and wifi works. But if I plug it in another usb-port it just doesn't work
I had problems with Win 7 doing the re-boot cycle and tried everything that was suggested with no luck. So I wiped it and installed XP. Now I cant connect to Internet - the network card is not recognized and wont run. Tried to download drivers from emachines.com, but all versions give me the message "this is for Vista". Have purchased 3 different cards to install and just bypass the card built into mother board, but none of them fit the PCI slots inside!
when i got this laptop with windows xp - wifi worked perfectly. I've decided to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit, and it stopped. I cant find ANYWHERE ANYTHING about wi-fi - not in network tab, not in device manager. I've got RTL8168D/8111D network card, laptop is Lenovo Edge 15 (302-4CG). I've checked BIOS, pressed combination of keys to turn off/on radio and installed some drivers from lenovo site (Lenovo Support - Download Drivers and Software (US)), and i still cant see the card.

Windows 7 sees the adapter right off the bat names it right but does not install drivers for it.
So I tried to use some hacked buffalo drivers that lets me create a softAP and open the adapter up to all devices. -on XP sp2
Seems the drivers are not valid for vista 64bit / Windows 7
So I tried the latest drivers from Nintendo 1.7 and still no luck I try to run the software it says no drivers for my OS and I try to install it manually in DevMang.
I'm having this problem for last one week, after boot my computer just freezes. When I boot without USB Wifi Adapter the computer runs okay. I have 2 different Wifi Adapters, with both of them its the same problem I followed this thread [Solved] USB devices freeze computer - Gigabyte - Motherboards-Memory , and disabled usb legacy support. the computer ran fine with USB adapter after that (last night) but today morning again its freezing.Problem started with TP-Link wifi adapter, now i'm using Linksys Wifi Adapter
I am normally connected to the internet through a wired connection but the wireless adapter on my pc..is always on and searching.My concern is can someone snoop into my pc through the wireless adapter even if it is not connected to a network.
