  1. Wireless usb wifi adapter stops working after connecting to internet


    I have a wireless usb wifi adapter and everytime I connect to wifi it works for a few seconds and then the wifi shows "no internet" . After that, the wifi adapter completely stops working, can't enable it through the control panel and resetting the adapter takes too much time but doesn't fix the issue. I tried restarting my pc and everytime I restart my pc with this issue a BSOD happens. Also when this issue happens, when I open the wifi pop-up, it freezes. The settings freezes too when I click network and internet. Please help me, I can't connect to internet properly anymore..

    :)

  2. USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

    Hello

    I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

    1. I am using Windows 10
    2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
    3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

    From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

    When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

    The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.

    In my device manager, it shows that the drivers are there and the device is working fine.

    when I try to update drivers, it says the best drivers are installed already.

    Any other solutions?

    Thanks

    2 different USB wireless adapters will not connect to the internet.

    My older generic USB wireless adapter stopped being able to connect to the internet on my Dell Desktop/ Win10. I have used it on this computer for years. It was working great but then suddenly stopped connecting. It works on other computers just by plugging
    it in & opening it up, no cd needed. I tried a new Netgear wireless USB adapter. It also will not connect to the internet. My in-computer Dell Wireless Will connect to the computer.

    I have tried the normal internet fixes; including deleting the device, updating the drivers both from what is already on the computer & then from an internet search, etc. I am using this device at a hotel so I do not have access to the router. (Anyway
    the older adapter has been working on the hotel system for at least a year.) For the netgear adapter, the drivers are initially installed from a cd & I tried it as both a stand alone installation & also as whatever they call their other option.

    The computer is hidden under a desk so the Dell in-computer wireless is acceptable but not great. When bought new the computer had an external antenna to extend range but that has been long lost. I would like to use my USB wireless adapter because it gives
    a stronger signal. MS forced the new Edge Chromium Browser on me recently but I think that my Wireless adapter occurred several days before that. I have attempted to restore from a saved version of the computer but both attempts failed; the 2nd attempt was
    after I turned the ant-virus off.

    **Any suggestion for how I might restore the ability of the USB adapter to connect to the internet wirelessly? (Ethernet is not an option.)
