It is a Netgear WNA3100 N300 Wireless USB Adapter. It was working fine last night, but I started my computer up and it was working for about 5 minutes before it stopped. Now it is showing that there are no connections available, except there are usually 10+ around me.
I don't know is a related problem, but I tried restarting my computer but it got stuck on the shutting down screen for about 5 minutes. This might be bad, but I forced it to shut down and I turned it back on. The same thing occurred. Wifi worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped. I restarted my computer, same thing.
I saw that I should try uninstalling the drivers for it, but it's been stuck in the "Uninstalling devices..." for about 15 minutes now.
I don't know what is happening. Any thoughts?
Edit: alright so now I've uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, and reinstalled. Same thing is happening.
