Installed basic drivers for the mobo as well as windows seven. (x64 Home Premium)
The thing is connected to the internet and i have 5 bars all the time, but it will not load webpages and most of the time the blue light on the card is not flashing.

I see Utilities and Manual on the Asus web site for the WiFi card you have, but no driver, at least not for Win 7 64 bit.

Where did you find a driver?

Or is the driver what they are calling Utilities?

Open a Elevated Command Prompt:

XP, Vista or Windows 7:

Click on the Start button and type cmd.
DO NOT press Enter or click Go.
Look at the upper part of the window and you will see cmd.exe.
Right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
Paste the following into the Command Prompt window, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxy" >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

and press ENTER.

A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close. Post results in a reply here.

It was loaded on the CD that came with the card. The utilities come with the driver. I know its driver related because they card is not even there until the driver loads up.

The card started working again. Right now its running fine again. But hard telling when it will stop again. It ran fine yesterday then all of a sudden it quit again. I originally bought windows 10 for this build. But the disc locks up for 1 day at 92%. So i ran windows 7 64bit for the moment. It quit working so i tried patching win 7 over to win 10 when i did that i looked in the events log for the driver and it stated something about not installing.

I have the same card and I don't have any problems like you are, I used the drivers from ASUS though, they are in the utility.

Their network manager is useless so I just installed the driver.

I'm using Google DNS as well on mine.

In your first post you said you installed basic drivers for the mobo, did that include the chipset drivers?

The above is what it is what im getting when i cant connect to the internet with wireless. It says packets are going through but i am getting nothing through the wireless. I bought a wireless Netgear N600 dual band and its not working either. Currently using ethernet cable and internet is working fine. I also started in safe mode with network only and same problem. Which is leaving me to believe its something to do with the router and dual channel. But as far to fix it i have no clue.

ipv4

according to the product page that router does NOT support IPV6,
but your screenshots are showing an IPV6 preferred option.

I would turn off IPV6, and at the same time have a look at the advanced options on the driver to see what the channel band settings are.

I suspect although i only looked quickly that the router only works on the 2.4 band.

Alright thanks torchwood. Let me check into that advanced settings and see if i can switch off that ipv6.
I did some advanced looking and nothing about ipv6 listed under the adapter.

How would i disable ipv6?
