wireless PCI card not working in Windows 7
I'm about at the end of my rope here. I've been having issues with this, for lack of a better term, piece of garbage, for the past 4 months since I got the thing.
It's a Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card, version 4.1
I installed it in my brand new custom desktop.
I was having problems with the drivers, but I finally seemed to solve that problem and now it always detects networks. However, even when I am "connected" web sites don't load. It will occasionally display a triangle with an exclamation, stating that there is "limited access" when there is obviously none.
I am thinking of throwing this "piece of s***" out and getting an MSI PC60G (my Mobo is also an MSI brand so maybe this will be a good idea). It's not worth the headaches to continue dealing with this crap.
If it helps, I am on the third floor in the back; the router is on the first floor middle. When connected I get 2-3 bars.
Please let me know what you think could be causing this. I am running Windows 7 32 bit Professional Edition.
