i use a realtek rtl8188cu adapter for my pc and starting from a few days ago it cant connect to my router and has a really weak signal, most of the time it wont show any network. i know my router is fine because my laptop and everything else will connect to it no problem. ive literally tried everything i can think off to sort it out but ive had no luck. ive reset the router, taken the adapter out and put it back in, installed new drivers, uninstalled the adapter from devices and printers and reset my pc then re-install it, i have nothing on the manage wireless network list either. please help! thanks in advance

almost forgot, i dont know if this will help but im running windows 7 home premium 64bit and i took the adapter out while my pc was on and then i put it back in and it was from then it stopped working.
