In my Win8.1 Pro it shows no connections available if I click Connect/Disconnect in Control Panel/Network and Sharing under Change Adapter Settings after I install wireless PCIE adapters. Driver properties in Device Manager show "The device is working properly." Trouble shooting in Windows indicates there may be a problem with the driver, but drivers have been updated that are supposed to work with Win8.1. Strange thing is the adapter is identified with no problem and works fine if a fresh install of Windows 8.1Pro with the card installed, and the wireless connection is detected and works perfectly. The problem with that solution is all apps will need to be reinstalled which is time consuming. I've tried 5 different adapters that are reported to work with Win8.1 (1 with RALink chipset, 2 with Aetheros chipset and 2 with RealTech chipset) all with the same problem. BTW my system is dual boot with WinXP, and all 5 adapters install and work normally in WinXP. Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
