Wireless Network Connection Won't Enable

Sunday, September 1, 2013 | | | I just bought TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter (Model: TL-WN321G) and had
followed all necessary procedures (both manual and automatic) to install
the driver specifically in my Windows 7 (32-Bit) desktop computer but
every time I installed the driver it shows that in my Network Connection
there is the "Wireless Network Connection 2" - Disabled. However, when I
right click into it and try to Enable, it shows that it is now
Enabling.... then Enabled but after that my "Wireless Network Connection
2" still Disabled.


I had already uninstalled my AVG Internet Security 2012 and disabled
Windows Firewall and Run in Safe-Mode in installing the driver but still
no luck it keeps showing that my "Wireless Network Connection 2" still
Disabled after trying to Enable it.


I really appreciate if someone can help me into this.


Thanks in advance!

Is the TP-LINK adapter showing up in Device Manager under Network Adapters?


If you are using the TP-LINK wireless controller, have you gone into Services and turned off the Windows wireless controller?

1. Click Start, type services.msc and hit enter.

2. Locate WLAN AutoConfig service, double click on it to open its properties window.

3. Under General tab, change the Startup type to Disabled and click Stop button.

4. Click Apply and then ok.
