OcUK Value 300Mbps wireless usb key problemo :(

Hi guys,

I ordered this little bargain -
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-055-EX

But i cant get it to work. The weird thing is I get signal strength of 90%, but no web pages load! :/

I tried installed the drivers that comes with they just wouldn't run at all, Im on windows 7 btw. I tried compatibility in every version too.

I then managed to download the drivers here -

They install fine, I manage to get this "REALTEK 11n USB Wireless LAN Utility" running - Which bizarrely like i said shows signal strength of around 90%, but still web pages wont load!

I dont understand it, any help would be hugely appreciated!

Can you ping the router?

How does one go about doing that?

Thanks for the reply dude, hopefully it will be a quick fix.

Edit:
I get my ip from ipconfig?
Then get the command prompt up and whack in "ping [ip address here]"

That right? Thanks

are you sure you're connect to YOUR wireless router? not someone's unsecured wireless?

I have the same dongle, if it has getnet on it then its a realtek chipset, try latest drivers from their site. Its listed as single chip N dongle.
