USB D-Link Wireless Card "acquiring network address"?

Question

I moved my computer from one room to another. When I reinstalled my D-link wireless card, it won't connect to my router. It gets stuck on "acquiriing network address" , and just stays there. Any ideas on what I need to do?

Answer 1

Look at the wireless connection it's connecting to - I'll bet you moved closer to a neighbor's router, and it's trying to connect to that - and it needs a password. Just manually select your signal.

Answer 2

Go to device manager then rightclick on all the USB root hub>properties>power management then uncheck the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".



Everytime you change port, a new connection is detected hence Windows will assign a new name to the "new" connection hence you got the number bigger and bigger each time you change port. Go to the control panel>network connection then rightclick on the wireless network icon, rename it back to wireless network connection without any number behind it.



Did as you instructed, I don't get stuck at "Acquiring Network Connections" anymore. But I don't know why I have 6 USB Root hubs but I unchecked all of them. I do notice that under device manager>network adapters> my usb adapter has a #3 (i.e D-Link Wireless G DWA-110 USB Adapter #3). Anyways thanks for the help. Will keep you posted if I encounter anymore anomalies.
