Quick system spec: Mobo: Rampage II Extreme, 14GB RAM, i7 950, GTX470, Windows 7 x64.
I've been using this wireless adapter for quite some time now with no issues... It is a D-Link DWA-552 Xtreme Wireless N Adapter.
Lately, I've been getting very poor reception so the other day I figured i'd try uninstalling the existing drivers and re-installing them.
Now, whenever I try to re-install them, whether I use the Windows Update Atheros drivers and/or D-Link's "stock" drivers I keep getting the same error, which can be seen here:
As you can see, the system is unable to identify the actual card device ID and simply labels it under "Other Devices -- Network Controller" with an error (!) indicator.
As of now, I am using my wired Ethernet connection which works flawlessly, but now I have the eyesore of a cable running thru the foyer of my house into the router office room.
Bascially, each time Win7 x64 attempts to "install the driver" it keeps brining up that error message. I've attempted to re-mount the card itself, and have re-booted several times to no avail.
It's just quite strange as it's worked fine in the past. I'm wondering if it's a hardware defect of some sorts, or perhaps there's something in the BIOS I need to change?
Any assistance would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance, Yours,
