I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR9382 wireless adapter card in my laptop, and I'm connecting to my home router, which is a Motorola SBG901. My husband thinks it could be a compatibility issue. The AR9382 is a dual-band wireless g/n adapter, and the older router only uses the wireless b/g bands. Of course, neither of us are IT professionals and that is only a theory. This might explain why all the other devices in the house connect fine, since they are older and are only expecting to see a b/g connection. What do you all think?
Here is what I get when I type ipconfig /all... hopefully this answers your question?
