When running bootcamp I can see wireless networks but not mine.
Hi there.
I've just installed windows 7 (32 bit) on my macbook using bootcamp assistant. After the install, I put in my osx cd to install the drivers. However, when I look at the wireless networks I cannot see my home network (SkyCode1) - but I can see all the other networks around me. If I boot into OSx in the same location I pick up SkyCode1 at full strength and can connect perfectly. If I connect an ethernet cable while in Windows 7 I can connect to the internet (but still not the wireless).
If I log in to get the status of the network I am presented with the following summary:
Status of your broadband and wireless network. | |
---|---|
Broadband | Connected |
Wireless | Enabled |
Wireless Network Name (SSID) | SKYC0DE1 |
Wireless Network Visible | Yes |
Wireless Channel | 13 |
Wireless Encryption | WPA/WPA2-PSK |
I have a PC laptop on the same desk, running Windows 7 and it can see and connect to the network also.
My question is, why does Windows 7 on my mac seem unable to even see the network, let alone connect to it.
Cheers,
