Realtek rtl8185 wireless lan driver

Thank you for any help that you can give me, Matthew. Joined Jan 28, Messages 6, I would make sure that the driver you have is for your operating system 64bit w7 In device manager for your adapter,pull off the driver details to see what driver it is using.

I'm not sure how much of an issue that would be.

I have been looking for some time for a Windows 7 version of the driver, and there are links on some sites, but many of them don't work. It seems odd that I can connect to the router, but not to the internet. Well, many Vista driver work for Windows 7, which is why I recommended it. The key part is the 64 bit driver, at least that's what my experience has been. I had the early Windows 7 bit beta before many drivers were available, so I was using many Vista drivers for all sorts of devices.

Can you connect with a wired connection to this computer? Your wireless is not communicating successfully with the router--it was unable to obtain an IP configuration.

In addition to trying the ethernet connection disable encryption on the router and try to connect that way. Unfortunately, I cannot connect through wires, my computer is in a different room to the phone line. However, I have finally succumbed and bought a USB wireless adaptor, which seems to be working fine. I imagine the PCI adaptor must just have problems with the computer being 64 bit. I've also heard that Netgear have a lot of compatibility issues with Windows 7, so it could be something to do with this as well.
