Wireless Card
Hello,My name is Anthony and ive just recently bought a wireless PCI Express slot card to make my desktop wireless. Ive installed the hardware and software correctly but im still not getting a signal from my or any surrounding networks. Ive tried calling the manufacture and the store that i bought it from but im still having no luck. Id rather try and weigh all my options before returning the part. The Wireless adapter i bought is, by model, TL- WN881ND. Its a card from the manufacture TP-Link. I am running it on a gateway GT5453E computer Windows Vista. Please help. XPP.S. I did not use the cd-rom to download the software i used the website. I was just wondering maybe that had anything to do with it. I also have checked all the drivers and they're up to date and in the Computer Management, it claims that all the drivers and programs are running, working fine.Thank you for your time.

You may have the updated driver but may have excluded some configuration entries by not install with the original cd. I suggest you do that by following the install process shown @ 8:11 of the visual.
I hope this is helpful to you!
