Network and Sharing Center Does Not Show Wireless Network
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all patches WRT610N Router Realtek RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter (driver installed from Windows Update) I setup a network using the wireless adapter and connected. When I go into Network and Sharing Center / View your basic network information and set up connection under View your active networks it says "You are currently not connect to any networks" and none are show. If I click on See full map which to the right above View your active networks I get a very distorted view of my LAN: Wireless computer ------------ MyNetwork || Switch || Hub ||-------------------- WRT610N | |----X-----Internet | Switch | Computer1 ----------------------------------------------Hub | Computer2 ----------------------------------------------| | Computer3 ----------------------------------------------| However, dispite the x in the connection to the internet I am connected and can browse web sites. What is going on?http://www.saberman.com

Hi, I think the issue is caused by incorrect network identification. You can try the following suggestions. 1. Use the Network troubleshooter http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Using-the-Network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7 2. Take the permission of the following registry key and its subkeys. [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList] a. Right click NetworkList, select permission, make sure Administrators have Full Control. b. Click Advanced button, on Permissions tab, select replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object and click Apply. c. Double click Administrators entries, make sure the permissions apply to this key and subkeys. 3. Start the Network Location Awareness service. a. Click Start button, type services in the search box and press Enter. b. Find and double click the "Network Location Awareness" service. c. On General tab, click Start. Choose Automatic next to Startup type. d. Click OK to apply the settings. 4. Perform clean boot and disable your antivirus, firewall temporarily for a test.
