Help Installing USB 802.11n WLAN card
Hello all,
I have tried to install a USB addition to my newly purchased computer. It is an OEM computer manufactured in China with some interesting specs (attached). I have 2 problems, with which I would like some assistance:
1. Unable to connect through USB 802.11n WLAN peripheral
The main problem was finding the drivers for the USB WLAN accessory (in the external antenna). I detected it as a MediaTek 802.11n WLAN USB device. I downloaded and installed the driver and it successfully detects the WiFi LAN.
However, when I attempt set up the TCP/IPv4 properties I get a previously unseen message:
Basically, it says I have Multiple Default Gateways. This is odd, since there is only one gateway on my network at 10.0.0.138.
The system fails to connect properly to the network, but does recognise the SSID.
2. Cannot find driver for USB device
Further, there is an unknown device in Device Manager. I found it to have a Hardware ID of 'IUSB3\ROOT_HUB30&VID_8086&PID_9C31', so it appears to be an Intel USB 3 root hub. There is already a Generic root hub configured to this machine. I was wondering if this may bear upon the above problem. How could I resolve this without removing access to the computer. (It only has a USB keyboard).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
