[SOLVED] "No internet, Secured" New wifi PCIe adapter

[Alpha_Chrispy]

I recently upgraded my PCIe wireless Network adapter to a more powerful version of the same adapter. After an install of the driver the new adapter connects to the modem, then says "No internet, Secured"

When I started monkeying around with trying to fix it, pinging the modem at first came back with about 10 seconds of connectivity, then it would "general failure" until I disconnected and reconnected. (Forgetting the network, restarting the wifi and airplane mode didn't help here) I tried doing dns flushes, disabling IPV6, Resetting the TCP, reinstalling drivers, manual ip address (not sure how well that went), using different PCIe slots.

When letting widows diagnose it, it comes back with "wifi doesn't have a valid ip configuration" or "Problem with wireless adapter or access point"

It's important to note here that the previous adapter I can unplug/plug in and it works with no hassle, same with a usb adapter that I have, and the two PCIe cards are from the same line of products, one's just faster.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Original PCIe wireless network adapter - make and model?

New PCIe wireless adapter - make and model?

Overall, there is no "more powerful version" per se. Transmission power is limited by law and no matter how many lightning bolts or whatever are drawn on packaging the wattage is fixed.

Plug in the original wireless adapter and once up and running do the following:

Run "ipconfig /all" via the command prompt. Print out the results.

Then reinstall the new wireless adapter and install the applicable drivers. Then configure the new wireless adapter using the same configuration as the original working adapter.

Who has full admin rights to the network router? You may need help from that person.

I tried doing what you said and it still had the same issues, however when disabling ipv6 with your method it only timed out rather than general failure.

I ended up factory resetting the modem because my family forgot the admin password, and for some reason that fixed it

Also by more powerful I just meant it was able to transmit faster, about double the rate of my old one which was a few years old 😛
