    Hey, I have encountered a strange issue with my wireless adapter. Whenever I unplug my laptop from the wall, the wireless network disconnects and I can't get any internet. The adapter will still find networks in range but I won't connect and gives me an error if I try. When I click troubleshoot it goes through some automatic troubleshooting steps then the adapter just shuts off. It says enabled but it won't find any networks..Does anyone have any idea why? This is really annoying.

    Using Win7 x64 by the way.

    I don't seem to have that option, no matter - I just did a system restore and fixed it. Thanks anyways.
