Running Windows 7 Ultimate and I recently tried installing the new softwarer/driver for the Netgear WPN111 wireless adapter. Before the install everything worked normally with the older version 2.1, but after installing version 3.0 it does not. When the network icon in systray comes up you get the disconnected icon with the circle while it searches. Once it finishes it goes back to the disconnected icon, even though it is now connected to my wireless. Here are somethings I've tried: clearing all network locations clearing tray notification cache using CCleaner uninstalling the adapter itself from device manager including checking delete driver removing the wireless network and adding it back manually hiding and unhiding the network icon in the tray uninstalling version 3.0 and reinstalling version 2.1 uninstalling version 3.0 and reinstalling version 3.0 restarting the Network Location Awareness service disabling and renabling the Network Location Awareness service after a reboot Here are some things I've noticed: the network icon used to change to the wireless icon during connecting and once connected, now it always shows the wired network icon tried connecting to a wired connect and the same thing happens, it goes back to displaying the icon with the red "X" even though it is connected booted into safe mode with networking and the icon works normally in safe mode Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. It's one of those things that doesn't really affect the functionality of Windows, but it's annoying as all.

Hmm... a complete reinstall seems a bit premature at this point. Why not first try the following: Clear all preferred wireless networks from your network configuration. Right click to manage, click wireless on the left, delete everything. Ensure the network manager service is running. A reboot may be required, but it was not in my case.

Product Name: HP 15 Notebook PC Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) Hello, I purchased a new HP Notebook laptop with Windows 8.1 Installed on it. I purchased a new Windows 10 Pro from Microsoft and installed it. Everything worked fine except the WiFi. The WiFi has a red Cross on it. Computer model is M4X87PA#ACJ . I tried every single method like! Uninstalled the network driver then rebooted the computer and then updated the driver, nothing changed. I clicked on Devince Manager and so on to the power management and unchecked the box, then went to the battery power options and changed WiFi's performance to "Maximum Performance" then rebooted the computer, nothing changed. I got lots of CMD commands from friends and other computer savvies and tried them, nothing changed. I reinstalled the Windows 10 Pro and thought it will work, still red cross on it. I flashed the BIOS and thought it will work, stilld no change and WiFi has a red cross. NOTE I am sure that there is no hardware issue because the computer is brand new and before installing Windows 10 Pr0, the WiFi was working super fine. Your prompt response will be much appreciated.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate and I recently tried installing the new softwarer/driver for the Netgear WPN111 wireless adapter. Before the install everything worked normally with the older version 2.1, but after installing version 3.0 it does not.

When the network icon in systray comes up you get the disconnected icon with the circle while it searches. Once it finishes it goes back to the disconnected icon, even though it is now connected to my wireless.

Here are somethings I've tried:

clearing all network locations
clearing tray notification cache using CCleaner
uninstalling the adapter itself from device manager including checking delete driver
removing the wireless network and adding it back manually
hiding and unhiding the network icon in the tray
uninstalling version 3.0 and reinstalling version 2.1
uninstalling version 3.0 and reinstalling version 3.0
restarting the Network Location Awareness service
disabling and renabling the Network Location Awareness service after a reboot

Here are some things I've noticed:

the network icon used to change to the wireless icon during connecting and once connected, now it always shows the wired network icon
tried connecting to a wired connect and the same thing happens, it goes back to displaying the icon with the red "X" even though it is connected
booted into safe mode with networking and the icon works normally in safe mode

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. It's one of those things that doesn't really affect the functionality of Windows, but it's annoying as all.

Hello,

I purchased a new HP Notebook laptop with Windows 8.1 Installed on it. I purchased a new Windows 10 Pro from Microsoft and installed it. Everything worked fine except the WiFi. The WiFi has a red Cross on it.

Computer model is M4X87PA#ACJ. I tried every single method like!
1. Uninstalled the network driver then rebooted the computer and then updated the driver, nothing changed.
2. I clicked on Devince Manager and so on to the power management and unchecked the box, then went to the battery power options and changed WiFi's performance to "Maximum Performance" then rebooted the computer, nothing changed.
3. I got lots of CMD commands from friends and other computer savvies and tried them, nothing changed.
4. I reinstalled the Windows 10 Pro and thought it will work, still red cross on it.
5. I flashed the BIOS and thought it will work, stilld no change and WiFi has a red cross.
NOTE

I am sure that there is no hardware issue because the computer is brand new and before installing Windows 10 Pr0, the WiFi was working super fine.

Your prompt response will be much appreciated.
