I have a home-built computer that I recently upgraded to Windows 7. Everything is fine, and all programs work with it, the only problem is I cannot get wireless internet through a USB adapter consistently. I have tried two network adapter that are both certified for windows vista and 7, and I have downloaded drivers multiple times for each.
I get wireless internet for minutes after I turn on my computer, but after that a yellow exclamation mark pops up on the internet icon. It says I have no internet, but it shows full service bars and the name of the connection, along with all the other connections I can pick up. Ive been stuck with this issue with windows 7 pc and laptop i want wifi on for days and last night i figured it out My router is running fine as i can connect to the internet wirelessly on another laptop running xp and connect through physical cable to the net on my ps3.
My dell desktop has a wired connection to my router. This was working fine since i got the desktop months. I decided to restored the desktop to an earlier version. It's has got this 'bench' logo.
Not sure how to restore the connection and make my network secure. I thought windows 7 was easy Windows 7 is just to much 'click this button to fix your issue'. I am having the exact issues as alejojo. I have only had the computer about 5 weeks. The connection was fine.
I have 2 other laptop users and 2 desk top computers that are all working fine. This just happened yesterday and since the computer was only 5 weeks old, I called support. I was told that it could be a virus or software issues and this would not be under warranty and I'd have to pay a fee for remote access to correct the problem Upon researching this, it seems that this is a common problem with windows I just don't know what to do.
Any advice? I had to rebuild the newtork one puter at a time, each time I would add a puter, it would lock up my Internet IP addresses to all 0's and I lost my internet connectivity. I finally got the wired puters to add, but when I tried to add my Gateway Windows 7 Ultimate Laptop, it fouled up the network again. What I need to do, is find where the Wireless settings are all stored and delete the saved information for the old WRT54, but I don't know where to look, any ideas?

Sign in to vote. Here is the issue I am seeing:. When I first bring up the system the WIFI is never turned on automatically, as it is supposed to be and as it used to do prior to the patch. I have to select the icon in the system tray, which shows the WIFI as of to turn it on. It does so for all for about 5 seconds, just long enough to attach to the network, and then it turns itself off again! I then have to do this a second time and that one will work.
It also turns itself off when any device changes are made to the system, such as plugging in or removing a USB flash drive. I sometimes see it turn itself off when my screensaver has been running for a while, but it has to have been for quite a while, say at least 20 minutes. I have completely disabled it being powered off by Windows, so it shouldn't ever be turning this off unless I tell it to. I have verified I am on the latest version of their drivers.
I am open to any suggestions. Right now it seems my only option is to backout the last set of patches from Microsoft, because I don't know just which one causes the problem, and ignore all other patches that are made available. That is not a good solution, because it means I will be ignoring possible security and bug fixes that I actually do need. I wanted to thank you all for the active discussion in this thread, and I would like to jump in and see if I can help address the multiple issues that seem to be covered in here.
Please do this in that order, allowing 60 seconds in between each device to enable the device to be fully booted and able to accept connections. If you are trying to use WPA or WPA2, please ensure that both your network adapter and wireless router support this protocol.
If you are only able to connect using WEP, then your networking hardware may need a firmware upgrade. If you are having a problem with your wireless connection after resuming from hibernate or sleep, or are having intermittent connectivity issues, try to adjust your Power Management profile to change your Wireless Adapter Settings to Maximum Performance.
You should do this with all of your power profiles. Call the support line for your router manufacturer.
It is likely that neither Windows nor the router are having problems, it is simply an issue of getting the configuration settings on both set up to work correctly together. The router manufacturer will be the best resource to know how to configure their device. I will continue to monitor this thread but will likely end up splitting this thread into individual smaller threads to address the various different issues that have been mentioned so far.
