Paulalexsaltis Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) HIIm having some issues with the beta drivers I downloaded form TP links website. Theyre specific for the windows 7 64 bit system that I am running but dont show any signal at all. The driver appears to work but doesnt allow for a connection with the OSS software either.When I run a diagnostic I get this I have tried to contact TP-Link via email but have had not reply, its really annoying because the only way that I can use my desktop is connected via the cable and when someone calls the house phone, the internet connection is cut and I have to re-boot my wireless modem... Anyone got any suggestions?Paul Edited December 23, 2009 by Paulalexsaltis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) I use a TP-Link PCI wireless card (TL-WN651G) and the software from TP-Link is useless. Not only is the driver horribly outdated, but the control panel app won't even install.If I were you, I'd dump the TP-link software entirely and just let Windows handle it.Win7 does an excellent job of wireless management. Plus you can backup and restore network profiles from the cmd prompt.The only downside is I no longer have a Super G connection, but a lan will never reach 54mbps, let alone 108mbps, so it doesn't really matter.*Just looked up your adapter. Apparently it's so new the Win7 driver is still in beta. Probably not supported at Windows Update then. You might be SOL until TP-Link updates the driver. This is why you should never be an early adopter of any technology. Edited December 23, 2009 by SyntaxError Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulalexsaltis Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hmm, Unfotrunatley windows 7 came with my computer, I went for the ipowers specification mainly but forgot to check if it was wireless. Unfortunatley if you plug in the usb nothing happens you have to force the drivers onto the system using the device manager.Thanks for the info if anyone has any other suggestions Im still all ears lol.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Have you tried that adapter on an XP or Vista machine? Did it work?It's possible your adapter is DOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulalexsaltis Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Yeah have just tried it and it appears to work on a vista 32bit machine, not sure how to get around this one though. I suppose I might just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 There is a newer driver on their site, but it's a Vista x64 driver. You might want to give that one a try before giving up entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
