WNA3100M not recognized
Recently my WiFi adapter has been refusing to work almost altogether.
I haven’t been using my pc for the past couple days, and booted up today and was greeted by my adapter refusing to connect or even recognize WiFi networks.
Typically, there is a blue LED light on the adapter that stays on. That has turned off completely. It doesn’t flash, even when I tried WPS setup.
Device manager in windows recognizes the adapter as being plugged in, and the device is enabled, though it is stuck on ‘Not Connected’. I’ve tried every solution I could find on the website but none of them even seem to relate to my problem, would really like some assistance with this as it is quite frustrating.

Try a different USB port.
If available try a Laptop/Notebook to see if it lights up. (Could also try at work computer)
If it doesn't light up, I would say it's dead.
