Windows Can't Use Wireless Adaptor
[Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP-1]
[Duronic USB-2 Wireless 802.11N Adaptor]
Have installed dongle and driver according to manufacturer's instructions.
Everything appears to be in place and working, but Windows can't find a wireless network whose wireless router is less than a metre away and working well with a laptop downstairs.
Realtek wireless LAN icon in system tray - Available Networks tab - Searching, but nothing is found. Dongle's LED is flashing slowly.
Control Panel - Manually connect to a wireless network - 'An unexpected error occurred'. Not helpful.
Windows diagnostics suggests problem is driver - searches and finds driver - informs me the installed driver is up-to-date.
The dongle connects easily when installed on an XP 32-bit machine.
Wired network connection works perfectly.
