Wireless Card Issue (TP-LINK WN951N)

Epideme · 29 Nov 2011 at 17:21

Hi,

I have the TP-LINK WN951N in my PC, and have it installed in my PC and there is a green light presumably indicating it is working, however i don't detect any wireless networks, it's not such a problem at the moment as i use ethernet hwile i am at uni, but i go home in a month, and i use wireless there, device manager says the device is working, and the drivers are upto date as far as i can tell, and i am definitely in range of wireless networks, so i have no idea why it is not picking any up?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried detecting wireless while your ethernet cable is disconnected from PC?

Yep, same story...

Is it configured to only connect to 'N' networks?

It might be, it is an 'N' network card - but it is advertised as able to pick up b and g etc.
But i can see no way of viewing or changing this site - do you know how i could go about this?

If it's an option it'll be hidden in the settings somewhere. It's unlikely to be something that would be enabled by default.

My old G+ wireless card had an option to only connect at G+ which caused it to ignore non-G+ networks. I thought there could be something similar on N.

I can't find any software that comes with the drivers - and theres nothing in device manager that might help, and had a sift through control panel to no avail (though i might've missed something), and can't really think where any settings like that would be...
