Hi Welcome to Seven Forums .. This device is just a virtual device and it should not affect connecting the wireless network with the physical wireless adapter... Go to the Device Manager Click on Network Adapters to check which one you have as there are two on the HP Website .. Then download the one you need ..

Hi there .. Miniport Adapteris not really hardware. It is Windows software for emulating the absence of a connection on most client systems.. Are you having difficulties with your connection ?

You need to Update your WIfi Driver ... Does it work with a cable connection ?

That is your Laptops Model Number .. Does your Stick Adapter have a Driver Installed for it ... Go to the Device select it right click select Details there will be a Hardware ID there Post it ...

[btiffany]

could i just factory reset my laptop ?

 

[maxie]

Seems the Driver is Installed for that Device ... I reckon your Stick did not come with a Disc for Insulation ... Are there any errors beside the Device ?

 

[btiffany]

no therrs no errors and thr stick came by itself

In my experience these stick Connections are a bit hit and miss .. Work some times other they dont .. Can not see a factory reset helping ..
