    USB wireless adapter does not detect any network


    I just upgraded my home network with wireless N.
    USB wireless adapter is dlink DWA-130C, driver installed properly and windows 7 32bit detected it correctly as DWA-130C on device manager but it could not find any network in my area.
    When I do troubleshoot, windows tell me that driver may not installed properly.
    FYI it happened with my older G USB adapter too, when I uninstall the driver to update, it installed normally but then it does not detect any network. I have to do system restore to make it work again.
    Any idea?

    Hi denox and welcome

    You might want to un-install and re-install in safe mode (F8). You still 32bit?
