Hi are you plugging it in a usb hub if so try plugging in a usb port on the computer itself

Hi.
No, i am plugging it in a usb port on the computer

 

[oscer1]

did it come with a disk? what errors does it get when you try installing it?

 

[HugoJ]

Yes, it came with a disk, but when i try to install it it says that the folder does not contain a compatible driver with the device

 

[oscer1]

I would plug it in and use a cable connection and try windows update and see if it will finds a driver for it.

 

[HugoJ]

Already did that, it does not find any compatible driver...
I am getting a little bit frustrated

Are you sure it is LG?

Google returns Mediatek Ralink RT2570 USB (RT257x/ RT2671/ RT520x) - MediaTek
see if this helps

I dont know inside, but in the case it says LG

those drivers does not seem to work with this device

I wonder if this needs the drivers installed prior to being attached. Does the CD has an setup/installer?

If yes, try
- uninstall drivers from device manager
- remove the device
- restart PC
- run the setup
- attach device when it asks or after setup finish

If the above advice does not work try installing manually http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html

If previous doesn't help, also try the USB on other ports, including those at the back of PC.
