Unable to connect: No (wireless) networks available error
Hi
I have just upgraded my connection and installed a new router. This kit and connection works perfectly connecting wirelessly with my laptop. My desktop machine is not connecting.
The desktop used to connect by direct cable to my router but since the upgrade the new router is in a different position and a cable connection is not a practical option.
I bought a Belkin Surf+ Wireless Adapter (802.11n ) and installed it. The specs say that it is Win 7 compatible. Even so I went to the Belkin website and downloaded the drivers from there. The installation went smoothly. The adapter is recognised and is listed in the device manager as working correctly and is enabled.
However the 'Network Icon' in the task bar shows the no connections are available. Going to the Network and Sharing centre and clicking on 'Connect to a network' produces the same result - no connections available.
Clicking on 'Manage Wireless Networks' produces a blank list (there should be at least 2 networks available - my own and a neighbour's). Clicking 'Add' and 'manually create a network profile' produces a screen with the message 'An unexpected error occurred'.
I am using Win 7 64 bit Home Premium and an 802.11n wireless router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
