Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Device List Not Finding Windows 8 Wireless Adapter

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.
So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine.  All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines.  Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter.  That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine.  The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
My questions:
1)  Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
Thanks In Adance!

I would like to chime in here too. I also have the same issue as described on an older Mac desktop. The ethernet port has failed so it connects only via the AirPort wireless. My issue is IMPORTANT because until this devices shows up on the Device List I cannot apply the Parental Controls. Joining Orloldman for an answer... (Thanks!)
Try the following:
1.       Disconnect the computer from the wireless network
2.       Remove wireless network profile on your computer
3.       Reboot the computer and power cycle the router
4.       Reconnect to the wireless network
5.       Check if the computer shows up on the device list.
If it is still not showing, reset and reconfigure the wireless router.

  • Help Why I can not find the wireless adapter?

    My thinkpad is  t400 6475-r2g.
    I god the brand new thinkpad. 
    It suppose to include the wireless adapter.
    What can be the reason?

    According to this page, your configuration comes with an Intel wireless card already installed. You shouldn't have to buy a new one to have wireless functionality.

  • I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network.  what do i need to do?

    I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for your help.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

    What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

    That means:
    The battery is dead
    The phone has been turned off
    The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
    The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
    The phone has been wiped.
    The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

  • My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

    I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

    Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

  • My macbook air 2013 will not find any wireless printers

    My macbook air 2013 with OS X 10.9.3 will not find any wireless printers. I've tried to add printers at a number of different locations and each time it fails to find any printers despite one's being online and fully functional. I am able to print from my iPhone on these networks to the wireless printers but my macbook air won't find any at all? The macbook air is online using the wifi network no problem - just won't find any printers, please help.

    You can download and run the free application Bonjour Browser. It will show whether the printer is detectable on the network. The printer should show up in one or more of the following categories:
    Internet Printing Protocol
    Print Spooler
    Printer PDL Data Stream
    Remote I/O USB Printer

  • Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop

    Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop
    Any workaround?

    hey guys.... i believe i have some light for you all. I gave my daughter a D610 which came pre-installed with Linux (ubuntu). She did not like it so i loaded windows 7 and guess what? no wifi.
    Unknown Device listed on device manager. to make the story short, after almost returning the laptop and spending 2 days looking for drivers everywhere I decided to reload Ubuntu because the wifi always worked. Then going a little deeper inside linux hardware
    specs I listed all the hardware using the command lshw from linux shell and what shows up as wifi interface? Atheros AR5001x.
    Problem was almost solved. The adventure now was find the driver for Atheros AR5001x that worked for windows 7. And now just to finish this story even faster, the diver is xp32-5.1.1.9.
    Unfortunately after downloading the driver I did not save the website. I have the file with me if you need.
    Just send me a message and i will be more than happy to email it to you.
    Happy New Year for all!!!!

  • [T400] Cisco VPN client not working over wireless adapter (but works on cabled connection)

    I have a very strange problem. 
    I need to connect to my work via the cisco vpn client (version 5.0.00.0340). 
    My previous laptop (T43 , windows XP) worked well through both wired / wireless connections.  My desktop machine (vista) works via wired connection (it has no wireless connection). 
    On my new T400, the VPN client works via a wired connection but not via the wireless adapter.  
    On the wireless apapter, the vpn seems to connect OK, but when I try to access resources via the VPN there is little response.
    I get this in the vpn log...
    405   08:56:57.073  04/16/09  Sev=Warning/2 IPSEC/0xE3700003
    Function CniInjectSend() failed with an error code of 0xa4510009 (IPSecDrvCB:846)
     I've tried disabling the firewall (in both the T400 and the router), removed access connections, and disabling tcp v6. I've rebooted everything too. 
    But, nothing seems to work.   I suspect the problem is on the t400 somewhere, because the old laptop used to work OK via wireless.
    I've seen some google links on cisco vpn not working via  wireless but nothing seems to apply to my exact situation yet. 
    Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    all good now, got it working. 
    The Deterministic network thing was not installed on the wireless adapter for some reason.
    So, I installed the latest wireless driver, reinstalled the vpn and all is good now.  

  • Device in Linksys Smart Wi-Fi is listed with two MAC address - not correct.

    I am using a EA4500 and use Linksys Smart Wi-Fi to manage the device. In the household we have multiple Apple i devices. Somehow the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi combined two separte i devices (iPhone 5 and a 4th generation iTouch) to one user.
    The devices actually have different names, but the Smart Wi-Fi is combining them into one device. So I can't use Parental Controls on one of the devices.
    I hope you can help me on this. We have made sure both devices have different names.

    Before you decide to used the classic firmware, I would suggest that to try to manually add your TV under the DHCP reservation of the router's UI.

  • HT204368 4S searching for Bluetooth devices but not finding them?

    Hi I have just bought a second hand Iphone 4S from a company online and I am trying to get Bluetooth headset paired.
    I have turned the Bluetooth off and on, and the headset - I have put the bluetooth function on my other work phone a Blackberry and the iPhone is not finding them - it just keeps searching?
    Tried to pair from the Blackberry and it would not work either
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    thanks

    Stop trying. The iPhone Bluetooth does not include the necessary protocols to pair with another phone.  The headset on the other hand should be OK.
