Jim,

In this post the USB device is now showing and has a driver when compared with your earlier post number 15 where it wasn't listed.

Did you change anything between posts ?

Can you now see wireless networks detected ?

Steve

so we can see if the installation has done what we wanted.

Clicking on the Network icon (usually in the bottom right area) should give you a list of Wifi Networks that the adaptor can see.  You will need to set up the system so that it can join your network.

stevef:
Jim,

Another thing to check when you get chance.

In the BIOS/UEFI settings does your machine have the option for secure boot ?
This can cause issues, so let us know how it is set (if you have it).

Steve

Jerry:
Hi Jim, you don't need to put in a new subject every time you post. Thank you.
