I recently build a computer in order to game a little more, and do some occasional Photoshop work. I am trying to get the machine to connect to my wireless modem/router. I bought a Rosewell PCIe wireless card and installed the drivers from the driver disk. Windows recognizes the card as a wireless network adapter, and when I try to initialize the device, it says there is an error with the driver. I used windows to search for an updated driver, but it says that it is up to date. Then I bought a Linksys N600 USB adapter and it doesn't work either. I'd like to use the PCI card because it has a 450mb/s vs the 300mb/s of the usb.

ISP: Charter Communications
Connection type: DSL
Router/ modem : Netgear CG3000D (I cannot log into it, charter has it locked)
# of wireless devices: 3 (My tablet, printer, and laptop)
*Note, I carried my rig to my brothers house and couldn't connect to his wifi either.
*Update 6/28 I contacted Rosewill and they couldn't come up with a solution other than re-install the driver. I did, but it didn't help. What could cause 2 different adapters from 2 different companies not to work?
