I don't have an answer for you, but have worked this many times. Most common are incorrect drivers or a missing antenna.
hi everyone I have a good desktop pc here and have connected via cable until recently, which worked fine, but now I'm trying to connect to a wireless network, no networks are showing up.
I have a laptop right next to it that sees many networks and connects with no problems, so I bought a Dlink DWA-130 usb stick, in case the desktop adaptor was broken, but still no luck.
The usb adaptor installed fine and appears to be working when I view in Network (see pic).
Any suggestions would be appreciated thankyou!
