Windows 10: Problems With Wireless Adaptor Installation

HI ,

I am trying to install my Edimax EW-7711UAN Wifi USB adaptor on my Win 10 laptop.

When I plug it in, it does not appear in Network Connections but it does appear in Device Manager under network adaptors only with a question mark.

The device status reads:

Accoding to the Edimax website, the drivers are included in Win10. I've had a look around and there appears to be reports of these issues when using a VPN service however this is not something that I have on my machine.

Has anyone come across this?

Thanks

:)

 

Problem with wireless connection

Hi,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Wired and wireless network problems

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/...1&v1h=win81tab1&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1

Also applies to Windows 10.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.

• 
  Press Windows Key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Network adaptors.
  
• 
  Right click on wireless card driver and select
  Un-install.
  

Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
OK to remove the driver.

After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.

Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.

 

Wireless adaptor not working?


This is the basic desktop specs I have

Dell Inspiron 660 Desktop 3rd gen Quad Core i5-3340 3.1Ghz 12G

It looks like I may have bad wireless adaptor card even though the windows diagnostics show it is fine. It is able to detect one of my routers (have 2 in the house) but is unable to connect. Had reset router multiple times and other computers in the house are able to pick up and connect fine. What are the steps/tests I should undertake to confirm the wireless adaptor card is the problem. Can I replace it myself, am ok with basic troubleshooting. Will be glad to provide more information. Please advice.

 

Wireless adaptor needs constant resetting

Neither option works for me either. I have the latest wireless adaptor drivers installed. I have run Network Adaptor troubleshooter, and when my adaptor is connected, it sates that the wireless adaptor is running fine with no problems. If my Wifi adaptor
is not connected (which often is the case) the troubleshooter manages to find the issue, reset the wireless adaptor, and it works again. However this is the issue. I should not have to continuously run this troubleshooter every time I wish to connect to
internet via the wifi adaptor.

My computer is an HP Envy DV6 with 3rd gen Intel core i7 processor, 8 gb RAM.

Any suggestions??
