Wireless Adapter (WUSB54G) Driver Issues

My wireless adapter doesn't automatically connect to the internet. I went under devices and found that it was there but listed as unspecified. I right clicked and troubleshoot'd, but it only claimed to have reinstalled the drivers because there was no change and I still cannot connect to the internet. Help appreciated.

Hi,
This behavior occurs if the driver is corrupt or not compatible.
I suggest that you download the latest driver from the computer manufacturer’s website, and reinstall the driver. However, if the driver is not indicated as a Windows 7 beta driver, but for Windows Vista, we could not ensure that it will work. In this case you may need to wait for the manufacturer to release compatible drivers.

  • WUSB54G - Wireless Adapter Causing BSOD

    Here is one for the support team. I wanted to connect another PC iwas working on to the internet via my WUSB54G wireless adapter. This was a fresh install, but an old computer. At the point in the installation where the adapter is connected to the USB port, Windows keeps shutting down and giving me a blue screen. Any advice?

    Did you try to install the adapter drivers and not the software ? If not you should try that...
    Make sure you connect the adapter to a different USB Port(don't use the port to which it's already connected)...
    Download the adapter drivers from here: http://home.cisco.com/en-us/wireless?referrer=www.linksysbycisco.com
    Once you have downloaded the drivers you need to unzip the file...After you unzip the file you should un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Connect the adapter to a different USB Port and reboot your computer...Once the computer is rebooted you should see a message "Found new Hardware"...Select the option Install it from a specific location and click Next, then select Include this location in Search and browse to the place where you have unzipped all the files and select the Driver folder and click O.k...Then click Next and it should install the adapter drivers...
    NOTE : This installation doesn't install the software(Linksys Monitor)...
    Once the Adapter is installed, Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and click "Connect". See if this corrects your problem...

  • Help: XP driver for 3000 G410 wireless adapter

    Hi All,
    My recently bought g410 came with Vistra (only) drivers CD, while I'm installing winXP instead. I downloaded drivers from Lenovo website and everything worked except the winXP driver for "wireless network adapter" (all 3 of them: Gemtek, 3xxx, & 4xxx), the adapter was simply not recognized.
    When I look at g410 spec, it says something like "Wireless Network Type: InviLink 802.11BG", does it mean that it is another type of wireless network driver those available on Lenovo's site? If so, where can I get this driver? Can someone help, please?
    Thanks,
    fitro
    Solved!

    Dear Silens,
    Have tried to install the vista driver for Gemtek, and YES, the wireless thing is working now! Thanks for the feedback.
    I notice that in the device manager, the device reads something like"Broadcom 802.11g" while from the specification, the wireless adapter should be 802.11bg (the letter "b" is missing from the description). I don't notice any performance issue though, however, would like to know if you have the same description as well?
    Dear Rex,
    I don't know how to start the system update software, do i need to download from any website?
    Thanks,
    fitro

  • H520s Wireless adapter issues

    Okay, So I'm having some issues with my H520s. The wireless adapter has been quite dodgy for the past month or so, but after using lenovo rescue to get it back to 'original condition' it's completely stopped working. I've looked through device manager and there's no mention of a wireless adapter, and any attempt to install drivers has done nothing.
    Before this, I'd have to use the Network Tasks> Repair network (or simmilar) after every startup in order to get wireless working.
    I have no files on the computer I need to keep, so formatting it to fix it is fine. I just want my wireless back ;_;
    If you need any more information, please ask, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. Hope you can help ^^
    EDIT: Oh, also,
    Said computer is running Windows 8, preinstalled. (Listed as 'Win 8 MM' on the side, incase that means anything special)

    Hi llharry,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
       If your device manager is not showing your Wifi under device manager / Network adapters.
    It may be having issue with the driver and may show as Network Controller or unknown device with
     a yellow sign on it.
       If not then It may had been disabled inside BIOS.
    Try Booting into BIOS by shutting down the computer and turning it back On and tapping F1 .
      Once Inside BIOS look under Configuration TAB and or under Network setup
        Look for an option saying Wireless lan or Wireless adapter.
    Make sure it is enabled then save and exit.

  • Which driver will enable wireless adapter on my notebook

    I recently purchased hp 15 notebook r204tu I am confused about which driver should I use for wireless internet access .When you go on hp website for drivers they have given 7 drivers I donot know which one would work please can any provide link to the driver or name the manufacturer of the wireless adapter I m using windows 7 64 bit sp1
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    HP uses various brands of wireless adapters in their laptops.Your driver page has Broadcom & Qualcomm Atheros drivers so it is likely you have one or the other. You can try both- or get the hardware id of the wireless adapter. From Device Manager, right click the adapter, choose Properties. In the window that opens click the Details tab. Use the dropdown selector to choose Hardware ID. Use the top line that appears and do a search for that string to find the device name. Or you can post it here.

  • T410s Wireless adapter driver bluescreen win8

    T410s 2901 with Windows 8 Professional x64.
    Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 Wireless adapter
    When I try install the wireless driver package G7W215WW.exe the system blue screens with this error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. I have tried some of the older drivers for Win8 with the same problem.
    Any idea how to get this fixed? I'm currently unable to use my wireless with Windows 8.

    Hi, parableit
    You could try downloading the file and saving it, but then boot the computer into Safe Mode before installing it. 
    To boot into Safe Mode in Windows 8, open up the Charms Bar, select Settings, then Power. Hold down the Shift key and click Restart. Windows should begin shutting down and then a menu should pop up asking you what you want to do. Select Troubleshoot, then Advanced, and finally Startup Settings. Restart from here, and you can boot into Safe Mode with Networking when your computer restarts. In this mode, everything but core drivers and network drivers are not running. See if you can install the driver in this mode.
    Best of luck, and let me know how it goes

  • Issues with usb wireless adapter

    Hi
    Please excuse my ignorance.
    I have an imac (about 2 years old) with a built in airport card. I am trying to use a usb wireless adapter. It has a realtek rtl8187. we have a wifi network here that works with my pc using this adapter but i cant get it to work on the mac. You have to sling the adapter on the window sill but it picks it up fine.
    I have installed the supplied software (obviously the mac one!) and it installs the software and driver. After i have restarted, and plug the thing in, it tells me to turn on my wlan card on the supplied software?? It shows up in the listing on network settings as ethernet adapter ((null)). I cannot find any setting to turn on my wireless card, i thought that was airport?
    The airport picks up the network but the signal is too weak to connect, hence the adapter with a bit more guts....
    I have this beautiful mac, colecting dust and am having to use a pc!
    If i connect the usb adapter without installing the software, it constantly has a box popping up in network settings saying that an external device has changed settings! it doesnt stop doing it, until you delete the location...
    Can anyone help? I may be being thick and dont have a wlan card or something or airport will not allow me to use this thing. I only just started getting into macs when i moved to spain, where it has sat colecting dust for 3 months.
    I would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks

    Cisco makes a router that is good for two-story homes.  I have used it for several years.  My router / hotspot is on the second floor and my Blu-ray player and laptop are on the first floor.  Both work extremely well with the router.  They also make a USB, AM10, that works very nicely with a desktop without a wireless card.
    I have had a few problems with both, but have always been helped successfully by Cisco Customer Service.  They are very good.

  • Thinkpad T500 Wireless Driver Issue in Windows 7

    The subject pretty much says it all.
    I've installed Windows 7 (x64) and everything is working fine with the exception of my internal wireless adapter. I've tried all the Windows 7 drivers provided and also tried the Vista drivers (x64 when applicable). Still nothing. It's (as far as I know) the Thinkpad internal wireless as opposed to any of the Intel ones.
    To rule out a few things, yes I've checked to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS, and I'm certain the wireless switch is on.
    Anyone have any ideas or similar fixes?
    Should it help, my exact model number is: (T500) 2242-CT0

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Try this, install the Hotkey Features, do a mandatory reboot, thereafter press Fn-F5 to radio on the wireless device, once that's done install the wireless driver.
    Would be a good idea to check in the BIOS if the card is enabled in there.
    Let us know the outcome.

  • Conexant audio update broke wireless adapter driver

    Installed the recommended driver update for conexant audio (windows 7). Immediately upon restart the wireless network adapter card stopped functioning. No other updates or changes were made, and this was a direct result of this driver breaking the other driver. Could not get the wireless adapter driver to fix, had to do a system restore because even uninstalling the conexant driver did not fix the wireless driver.
    Bad update!

    Hi, Please try driver from the following link (the first one):     http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6732463&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4063 Regards.

  • Wireless adapter causing blue screen

    Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected.  When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen.  When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine.  Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error.  I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

    The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
    If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

  • W510 Wireless Adapter: getting kicked out of most wireless networks

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm running a W510 with Windows 8 on it. I have an extremely annoying issue with my wi-fi network network card and I have no clue where it's coming from.
    The wi-fi networks at my home and office work perfect and I haven't had a single issue with them. I recently started travelling a lot and tried using wi-fi on various locations such as open wi-fi on airports, secured networks in hotels, cafes, guest homes etc. Most of them are not workable. Here's what's happening:
    I can usually connect the first time I try, but after a few minutes, and hour top I get kicked out of the network or end up with "Limited" access. When I try to reconnect the it goes into and endless "connecting" state. Trying to disconnect hangs the pane and no actions are possible until I:
    1. Restart the explorer.exe process, which it "Not responding"
    2. Disable and Enable the wireless adapter though the Device Manager
    After that in case of some networks I can connect again for a few minutes, but then I all repeats all over OR I cannot connect back at all.
    I have tried using A LOT of networks in various places, and I'd say with about 80-85% I experience the described issue.
    I case of some of the networks I had a chance to connect by wire and they were working perfectly. Often I have other people around with me and of course I'm the only one facing the issue, it's not that I have really back luck for wi-fi networks. Plus my phone connects to majority of them without issue.
    In many cases when I switch networks I need to manually run ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns, before being able to connect to anything.
    The wifi adapter is a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN on a Lenovo W510. The driver version is 14.2.1.3. I've seen 15.x version available for download from both Intel and Lenovo sites, but when trying to install it I got info, that I already have a newer version of the driver.
    Uninstalling the driver and letting windows reinstall it does not solve the issue.
    I ran out of options on what to check and how to debug this further. What are your thoughts on this?
    Thanks,
    MikeZyc

    Hi, MikeZyc
    I've seen this issue on many machines running Windows 8 with Intel wireless adapters. One fix that has worked more often than not is to navigate to Control Panel ► Programs and Features and uninstall the Intel Management Engine Driver. This driver seems to cause the wireless connectivity to get lost or not connect at all in Windows 8. Try uninstalling that, then restarting the computer and see if any improvement is made.
    Best of luck,
    Adam

  • Wireless Adapter permanently disabled after sleep mode - Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello,
    Info:
    Laptop: 2014 Macbook Pro running Bootcamp (dual boot...not a VM) with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    Network Adapter: Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
    Driver version: 6.30.223.215
    Issue: My broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled when waking from sleep mode. It requires a restart in order to become enabled. If I try to manually re-enable it, I get a message saying "Enabling..." -> "Enabled!" but after this message the device still says Disabled and the wireless still won't connect to anything. This issue is very reproducible. Occurs both under battery power and when plugged in.
    What have I tried?: Tried disabling the "Allow windows to disable this device to save power" under power management, which didn't work. Tried updating driver but Windows Update says the driver is up to date. I was able to find a newer version (6.30.223.227) but I can only find it hosted on Russian websites which makes me a little suspicious.

    Many thanks to chemnerd1's hints - saved me going mad.
    My problem was that the wifi worked perfectly until connected to a Thunderbolt display - then the wifi was permanently disabled (nothing would enable it; changing driver, changing wifi channel, uninstalling and reinstalling wifi, nothing worked). As you can imagine I was very disapointed after spending a fortune on the Thunderbolt display (brilliant kit) and then finding that I maybe only have wired internet available!
    Definately, Zone Alarm was the problem (maybe other firewalls cause the same /similar problem).
    My solution was -
    uninstalled Zone Alarm (safe mode not required)
    reboot with Thunderbolt display connected (checked that wifi now working)
    reinstall Zone Alarm (important that Thunderbolt display is still connected)
    reboot - checked and wifi still working perfectly - wonderful
    I have to confess that I was initially blaming Apple for the problem. I did loads of searches to try and solve this and a lot of links ended with conclusions that Apple doesn't care. Well in this case it wasn't Apple's fault.

  • Thinkpad T510 Windows 7 No wireless adapter found & device manager network adapters exclamations

    Lenovo owners,
    I was wondering if you could help.
    I’m having issues with my laptop(Lenovo thinkpad T510) all of a sudden and cannot pinpoint a solution and it seems my laptop is getting progressively slower.
    One day upon startup I could not obtain a network connection either wirelessly or even while connected. (I’ve never had a problem & even earlier that day , and even turned it on later that evening and had no problem, and now these issues are back.)  I searched for connections and received a ‘no wireless adapter found’. I checked my device manager and noticed the yellow exclamation point next to all under network connections. When clicking on the driver the message ‘This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.’
    I tried updating the driver under driver tab, but to no avail, or I have the most current.
    I’ve searched Lenovo forums stating to uninstall drivers and install but many people still have the same issue.
    Does this sound like manufacturer issue or virus type relation?
    Now my laptop seems to running slower and slower upon startup and shutdown.
    Anyway anybody can help would be appreciated. I’m starting to get backlogged on work.
    & Yes, the switch on the side of my laptop is turned on

    Free AVG and Malwarebytes yep. Ive performed scans on both and no threats detected.Diagnostics results shown below. States exactly what Device Manager did and once i try to reinstall driver I get the Device status code 31 window(shown on the right). I've tried reinstalling drivers and restarting but no change in status. The only thing that happened since i that happened when i shut down my working laptop and when i turned it on and ran into these issues were Windows Updates upon shutdown. Any chance a wacky update could wreck havoc on all my drivers?

  • Upgrade to kernel 2.6.26.2-1 and my ralink-based wireless adapter

    The latest upgrades (kernel26, rt2500, etc.) are causing me major problems with my wireless adapter.  It's a junky Belkin model which uses the rt73usb driver (part of the rt2500 package, I believe).  Anyway, after the upgrade, if/iwconfig returns no wlan0 interface.  Modprobing the rt73usb driver doesn't help.  I also see a blur of ugly looking text at bootup that seems to relate to my USB hub - but that's probably an unrelated issue.
    Is anyone else having problems?
    EDIT: This should probably be moved to Kernel & Hardware Issues.  I'm acting stupid today...
