Windows 7 wireless connectivity issue? -

hi guys i have installed the windows 7 beta on my acer aspire 3680 laptop and for some reason it refuses to allow me to wirelessly connect to the internet the atheros wireless lan driver is working ok in device manager however when in the taskbar it reports there are no connections avalible as a pc enthusiast i have a pretty decent knowledge of both wired and wireless networks however this has stumped me i have informed microsoft using the quot;report feedbackquot; link found on every window,however i am wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem when running the beta i have connected the laptop via a network cable and this is fine any ideas guys !

I hope you know what quot;Betaquot; means... It is full of bugs and security riskes however that could be a bug. Try this: uninstall your driver and software for it and reinstall again if it doesn t work then windows 7 beta won t support that type of software and driver. Might your wireless is damaged or wireless is not supported in windows 7 beta.

because it is a beta version they might not have gotten the bugs worked out of the wireless yet. you do understand that beta versions are buggy and incomplete. you have done what you need to do in reporting it to microsoft since it is beta the will probably have it working ok on the public release. till then just use it wired.

hi brian all i know is quot;betaquot; in computer terms mean the program is still in the Development stage and not yet fully operational it does tell you in pc magazines to avoid beta programs problems do occur and it sounds to me like you ve come across one

goto device manager and uninstall wireless lan, then restart your laptop and let windows reload the drivers....also check for windows update because the network adapters are delivered are delivered by windows update
