Windows 7 ultimate x64 can't connect to wireless network with any adapters (I've tried 5 new ones) and now the old adapter can't find connections either. Every adapter after network diagnostics reports driver issues.

Open an admin command prompt and type ipconfig /all save the results and post into this thread.
Here are the results of ipconfig. I have an Ethernet cable attached to the computer to have internet access.

I'm sorry, I misread the Ethernet info, it shows you are getting the address from DHCP, when you add wifi adapter, does it show in network and sharing?

It is set correctly. I can see the bad computer from the Linksys setup and all the other wireless computers are working fine on the network.
It doesn't show any wi-fi adapter so can't see what's going on. If it was installed then does it have a yellow triangle in device manager? If your running a 64 bit system are the drivers signed if not they won't load
The driver is from Realtek site for this adapter. There is no problems in device manager. The router is a Linksys AC1200 dual band router. The problem is with Windows. Each brand new adapter gives the same problem. No connections available and troubleshooting says there is a problem with the adapter.
When you plugin an adapter and go to the device manager, right click on the adapter, select properties, change driver, let me choose, and see if the driver shows up in the list, select it and let it be installed. Normally, when you attach an Ethernet cable, it disables some wifi adapters, so you may have to unplug the Ethernet cable to install the driver for the wifi, and enable the adapter with a right click in the network and sharing.
You didntanswer are you running a 64bit windows and are the drivers signed or it wont work test your drivers How to verify that system drivers are digitally signed - gHacks Tech News
