    Have a new laptop Asus K55VD with Windows 8 (which so far is doing my head in.) and a qualcomm atheros ar9485 adapter. I was able to connect fine with a 3g dongle, but on the 2 wiireless networks I tried, the first it appeared to connect ok but no web pages would load, the second it connected but stated the connectivity was limited (no internet access), my older windows 7 netbook connected to the internet fine on both networks.

    The Troubleshooter doesn't detect any problems. I've Googled it but can't find anything relevant enough. Any ideas? :confused:

    Bump.

    have the same problem, just wondering if you found a way to fix it or has anyone else had similar problems?

    Er I have kind of fixed my problem, if you're on Eircom it may be your Zyxel router causing the problem. I switched back to my Netopia from 5-6 years ago and its been working properly so far.
    Will post again if it breaks or anything changes.


    The joys of a new laptop :rolleyes:
