[SOLVED] Wireless adapter doesn't see avail. networks

userconfused · 07-03-2009, 04:50 PM

I just moved and am trying have installed D-Link AirPlus G Wireless PCI adapter DWL-G510 into an e-machine W2260 AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.79 Ghz 992 MB ram desktop. I followed directions for installation and the computer recognizes the new hardware but the hardware does not see any available networks. I am writing this from a laptop in the same room as the computer in question. The laptop is connected to the internet via my homes wireless which lets me know that there is not a problem with my connection. I have tried having the computer in question look for available networks but it still doesn't see any. The power light is visible on the adapter and it keeps switching between the power and data lights on the adapter. Any ideas?

Go to the Device Manager under Network Adapters and make sure there are no yellow marks for the wireless adapter. If so, then you need to install the driver from the CD or there web site. If the driver is working then try uninstalling it and reinstall. Also, try downloading a newer driver from there web site.

Thanks! I downloaded the updated driver for the revised version of my hardware (hadn't noticed that previously), and after several install/uninstall cycles it is working and quite well I might add. Really appreciate the help. Have a great 4th!
