Hi.
i Have a Tenda w302p WLAN card, which goes into the PCI port, and when i turn on the computer the internet card has a green LED and that lights up, which for me, means that the card is inserted properly, but when windows then reaches the desktop, it then says there is no internet connection, i then used 2 hours downloading a driver from Tenda's official website to my Internet card, but then when i wanted to install the driver, it said the following"Driver installation need your Wireless Adapter to be inserted into your PC. Please make sure your Wireless Adapter is in your PC", why!?!?!? it's properly inserted! PLS! help me ;D

sincerly, Sebastian

ps. sorry for my bad english, i'm from Denmark ;D

Can you please pass on your full systems specs inclusive of your OS? The Tenda W302P being a PCI based wireless adapter and not a PCI-E based card might lead me to ask if you're sure you've inserted the card in the appropriate slot. Can you locate your device in Device Manager? Please see if there are any devices within Device Manager that are flagged with a yellow exclamation mark.

BTW, are you sure you got your drivers off this link? Since this is a legacy product I'd suggest to install the drivers under compatibility mode if you're working on 7 or 10.

Is it possible to source your drivers from the drivers disc bundled with your device and run it in compatibility mode? The package should state the minimum requirements for the device i.e XP.
