Title: Device Cannot Start
Post by: wklumpen on January 12, 2010, 06:48:22 PM
Hello All,

I'm having some troubles with the installation of my card in the first place. I've inserted the card into a working PCI slot (I've tried others, with the same result) and despite after installing the latest driver (1.60), the card does not work. I receive a message at the end of the driver install saying "Wireless Adapter not found, please insert adapter now". When I look up the device in the Device Manager, it recognizes it as a DWA-552 XtremeN Desktop Adapter, with driver version 7.7.0.371, and informs me (with it's little yellow exclamation mark) that the "device cannot start (code 10)."

I have called DLink support and they got me to download the latest driver, but even after that I got the same problem. Has anyone else had this problem and knows a fix? If my card is faulty I'll take it back to future shop and get another one - hopefully.

Thanks for any help.

Return the card before your window closes on refund.  This card has too many problems.   If your machine has PCIexpress slots, get the DWA-556 instead.
