Anyone else have this issue? I don't think it is a problem with the USB adapter(s). I have one Netgear (worked fine with my last mobo and my laptop) and I just went out and bought a LinkSys adapter thinking it might work but it doesn't work either. I think I might have to turn to installing a network card. Thoughts?

I have the latest drivers for the adapters. I use the CD that each came with (respectively) but the software for them can never detect the adapter. I've tried a USB 3.0 port and non 3.0 port.

I'm not sure about the BIOS and mobo drivers though.

I am running windows 7 right now. Yes I tried a USB2 slot. I am going to try the new driver versions and bios tonight for the mobo and if I don't have any luck there I may look at getting a wifi card that goes directly into the mobo

EDIT: so i just checked and i have the latest BIOS version and drivers. I'm not sure what else it could be. I've sent ASRock a support email.
