I 'uninstalled' the program and the Internet worked perfect! Pays to read instructions
WINDOWS 7 & 8 USERS>>>> IMPORTANT NOTICE - DO NOT INSTALL THE INSTALLATION CD!!!! THIS IS A 'PLUG & PLAY' ADAPTER. THE CD IS FOR OTHER WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS ONLY. I made the mistake of not reading the simple instruction sheet, and spend 3 hours on the phone with Comcast trying to connect to the Internet, who said it was something with my PC/Wireless Adapter Settings. I spent several more days adjusting every WiFi setting imaginable. I finally read from someone else, NOT to install the CD which I had done. I 'uninstalled' the program and the Internet worked perfect! Pays to read instructions, but an easy oversight. Keep in mind.... i was fully connected to my wireless router in the house, but NO internet when i clicked on my Browsers. Installing the CD program & driver creates some 'block' to your internet. Once I removed it.... it worked instantly. All you need to due is simply plug the adapter in one of your PC's USB ports & connect! That's it. This little unit has significantly more strength in it's reception signal than my last adapter.... all the WiFi bars!
