Netgear a7000 adapter not connecting to pc for drivers to recognize it
I recently got a new pc and have been jumping through the hoops of getting windows 11 installed and I finally have:) but when i switched my machines i still wanted to use my wifi adapter even though ...

Yes this is the drivers I used and i used both the basic and standalone version but the program wont detect the net gear adapter as plugged into my pc. I've also updated all of my usb drivers and tested it on my old pc so the usb should be working fine if plugging other things into them powers them on aswell as the adapter cause it powers on for my other machine. But i was unsure if it was windows 11 or the fact my computer already has a Wi-Fi connection because those seem to be the only two possibilities. The only real other option that i can think of is that it is somehow linked with my other pc because it has the drivers on for that pc so maybe uninstalling the drivers with it plugged in could fix it.

Update deleting the drivers from my old pc did not fix my current issue so its not "linked" id say.
