Asus RT-N56U Connection Problems

[johnnyb58]

What is the make and model of your laptop?

It is an ASUS Eee PC 1025C. I bought it on a trip to Vegas for something cheap to access the internet and then I started to take it to work to use on my breaks, but I don't have internet connection to use it at work.
I really only use it on the network at home to update programs and upload& download stuff to my desktop.

Asus lists 3 different wireless adapters for that model. I would need you to go into device manager and right click on the wireless device and click on properties, go to the details tab and change the property to hardware ID and give me the 4 digit vendor and device id numbers. They look like this. ven_xxxx and dev_yyyy Where x and y are 4 alphanumeric digits.

this is a screen shot of what I got. There are 4 of them and one might be the one I just installed

Oh wow John thanks so much. Ok so now I'm back to where I was. At least the wireless connection is back but I still can't connect to my home network.

I'm getting tired of working on this and will probably just have to use flash drives to move files between computers.
