Netgear AC600 not working, no detection in setup.
So, I went to format my Dell Latitude D800, back to XPSP3 from Vista SP2, and the WiFi card (AC600) was picked up previously during setup (and no, the USB port is not faulty) and it is not picked up...

UPDATE: I have gotten it working, I just needed to reformat the PC. :mantongue: TIP: Just UNPLUG the adapter during Windows setup.

I think you meant Windows installation or upgrade from XP to Vista. I never heard formatting OS I think the driver for that USB was the problem. General rule, you always check driver compatibility when moving OS from one version to another one like you just did.

The driver wasn't at fault, it was the USB thingy.

How do you format the PC? It is always known when you change OS, you have let the new OS discover and learn the device. Nothing new.
I guess you don't live in North America.

Q: How do you format the PC?
A: Reinstall the OS
It is always known when you change OS, you have let the new OS discover and learn the device. Nothing new.- I knew that.
I guess you don't live in North America.- Yes, I do, I live in the USA

Then what seems to be the problem? By unplug/plug the USB adapter, you made the new OS learn that thingy. What's new about this?
Going from XP to Vista what do you gain?
