    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.

    :)

    Windows 10 update error 0x8024401c

    Hi,

    My problem seemed to be with my Ethernet network adaptor. I installed a wireless adaptor and the problem went away. The Ethernet adaptor is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller and the wireless adaptor that I installed to take it's place is a DWA 130 Dlink
    adaptor.

    Window 10: dual network adaptors usage.

    Original Title: dual network adaptors

    I have a wired public network ip adaptor and a wireless private network ip adaptor. Can I somehow force windows to use the wireless adaptor (which is faster) for the internet, or will it do that automatically?

    thanks in advance
