RALINK usb wireless adapter

spoilmypooch · 09-24-2009, 06:00 AM

I have just bought this adapter and it uses one of the following chipsets; RT2070,RT3070,RT2770 or RT3072

The wireless installs correctly as the PC identifies it (as a usb wireless adapter) and it loads the Windows Wireless icon in the bottom right of the screen. The light flashes on the adapter as well. However, it will not find my wireless network.

I have installed it on 2 comps- one a desktop the other a laptop and it fails to find my network on either. However, using another adapter, both of these comps find my wireless network quite happily. I have installed only the driver and then I installed the driver + wireless utility. Still no luck. I have tried moving my laptop with the RALINK adapter in it around the house and it still will not find my wireless network.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

my ralink icon shows up black with an X unless I switch config utility by right click on ralink icon & choose 'use raconfig as configuration utility' ...
sometimes I have to manually disable the internal wireless card too
