1 - open up ';Network and Sharing Center';

2 - click ';manage network connections';

3 - right-click ';wireless network connections'; and go to properties

4 - make sure that the list contains ';internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)'; and ';internet protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)';



(if they are not there, click install, then protocol and pick them from the list. do this for both v4 and v6)



5 - select one of them and click ';properties'; make sure Bboth DNS and Internet Address are set to automatic.

6 - do this for the other one as well



no guarantees that this will fix it but it seems to be a common problem and it worked for me

go there and get the driver. they have both the 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 drivers. You might want to pick up the rest of the drivers too, such as your video card, analog modem, etc.
