Double Wi-Fi Adaptor blocking internet connection

[mitsosha]

Hello. I currently run two operating systems in my pc. One is windows 7 and the other one is windows 10. When i tryed to connect to my internet wireless from windows 10 i couldnt because my adaptor didnt suppoer them. So i bought a new one and i placed bothed of them at windows 7 with their drivers simutanously and it seems that they block each other. The problems continues to wondows 10 too even that i uninstalled their drivers. By the way when i connect my new USB adaptor my old adaptor also shows up as unidentified device.Also when i try to connect to my Wi-Fi it says limited access or limited depending on the operatig system.

Please help me.

Just use the one that support both OS's. Your computer is having issues determining which device to use because you are giving it so many options. Just use the best one that works all around for everything you have.

Hmmm I see, I misunderstood that from when I originally read your post, I'm sorry about that. Are you using USB adapters or PCI adapters?

My old one is a PCI adaptor (RTL8187_Wireless) and the new one is a usb adaptor (RTL8191 Wireless LAN802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter)

Is this a dual boot thing and not Windows 7 and 10 running at the same time? Use the adapter that is supported by Win7 and when it shows limited connectivity, check if it's getting IP from your router. Make sure it's connected to the WiFi network with correct password and all. Setup static IP if you have to and re-check if you can ping the router's LAN IP and of the Internet (linustechtips.com).

Ok, the only problem is i don't know how to do the stuff you tell me. Yes it is a dual boot. How do i check if i am getting IP from your router and do any of the other stuff you say?

Checking of IP (assuming you already verified it's connecting to your WiFi just fine; accepted the correct password):

Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click your WiFi adapter > Status > Details. It will show like this

If IPv4 Address is 169.254.x.x that means it's not getting IP from router. If it's something else, compare it to other computers that can get online. Also get the IPv4 Default Gateway. You'll need those IP addresses later.

 

Setting static IP:

Use this guide: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-tcp-ip-settings#1TC=windows-7

On this page

Refer to the IP address of other computers that can get online. Let's say you got an IP from your other PC and it looks like 192.168.1.125, select 'Use the following IP address' and set the following:

IP address:      192.168.1.200Subnet mask:     255.255.255.0Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 (same as the default gateway of computer that can get online)Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Testing if it's all okay:

To ping your router's IP address, open command prompt (Windows key + r > 'cmd' > [Enter]). Command prompt will open and type 'ping 192.168.1.1' and [Enter].

If it's responding like that (saying it's a reply from the IP you entered, shows its size, time it took to receive reply), it means the computer and router are connected via wireless. Proceed by pinging 'linustechtips.com' if it also responds like before.

Ok.

I dont have IPv4 Address but Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address and yes it is 169.254.x.x but i don't have an IPv4 Default Gateaway; its just blank.

So i found what the problem was after all. Before 15 minutes all the devices in my house stop receiving Wi-Fi expect my fathers iPhone 6 Plus we restarted the router but the problem wasn't fixed. My father run a troubleshoot from his Mac and it said that someone was near our house was connected in the internet from another country. He changed some setting on the router, restarted it and all the devices including my PC started having internet again. I don't know exactly what was going on but the problem is fixed. Thanks for taking time trying to help me.
