There was no "change drive" option in properties. I used update drive and browsed the drivers under Realtek and didn't find my adapter. I am running win 7 ulti x64.

Hi,
We do need to see ipconfig, with the adapter plugged in and ethernet UNplugged.
(im assuming the router is seeing the comp when Ethernet connected - otherwise not??)
Are you transmitting on 5.0ghz ,it might be that the wifi driver is set to 2.4,
see in driver >> properties>> advanced ....Band

I am running win 7 ult x64. And the drivers are signed. Downloaded wql driver from Realtek site.
My router is transmitting on 2.4 and 5ghz both. Other computers on the network with dual band adapters are working fine.
I disconnected the Ethernet and ran ipconfig:

Your wifi driver is most likely different and not Realtec if it is plugged into a usb port, if it is part of a built in nic card with both wifi and bluetooth, we need to know the make and model of the usb adapter or the built in nic with wifi capability. If it is usb and it shows in the adapters in network and sharing, it may just need for you to right click and Enable. The adapter has to be plugged in when the ipconfig /all command is run.
Ok, is it showing in the adapters part of the device manager? Tell us the model number there.
I went back to the one that was in the computer. It was slow and only an n and I needed more speed from this computer that is why I spent money and time on dual band adapters (internal {pci and pci-e} and usb) and I got good brand name adapters. Buy cheap and have cheap. No sense in getting junk when it is going to be used.
