Hello,
This has me stumped. I simply want to use my Edimax EW‑7811Un (which I've used in multiple PCs) to connect to my wireless internet. If I have initial problems, I usually uninstall and reinstall drivers/update drivers, try different usb ports, etc. With all those checked off already, I'm out of ideas. Here's the real issue. I have installed the adapter's drivers and updated them. I get the signal bar that signifies that wireless connections are available. But when I click the "Connect" button for my (or any) wifi connection, the connections box disappears and it doesn't connect. It doesn't ask for a password or anything either. Double clicking the connection does the same. I've also tried resetting the wireless adapters and used the "ipconfig reset winsock" command in cmd. I have also tried connecting in safe mode, same thing happens. Can't decide if it's the adapter's fault or Windows'. I can confirm that the ethernet works fine, and wireless works fine on my laptop. Any ideas are appreciated.
