Tells us the wireless association is established.
Double check the wireless adapter is configured as a DHCP client, not a static IP.
At this time it is configured as a DHCP client but I believe I will need to test on other devices because using the adapter I cannot connect to any network, whether its the WAP, a hotspot, or other. Therefore I believe my configuration on my computer and how it interacts with the adapter might be the issue. Will be ordering another adapter from a different company to test.
Hope the new adapter works well.
