    Wireless USB Wifi Dongle

    hi everyone

    After reading a thread on here with a list of compatible wifi dongles (cant find the thread now grr) I purchased a EDIMAX EW-7722UTN V2.
    I'm having difficulty getting it to work I have tried all of the drivers on the feeds but cant see how to change it from lan to wlan i have looked in network/adapter settings?
    and does it only display that after you install correct drivers?
    Any help? thanks Ad

    Oh i forgot to add im on latest image

    from what I remember on this subject it was all trial and error, I began by downloading the first driver on the list and then plugged in my realtek wifi dongle and went to network settings and nothing, I then deleted this driver and tried the next one and so on, eventually the correct driver was installed and when I went to the network section it gave me the option of wireless lan sett up hope this helps

    Pretty sure is the 8192 drivers, uninstall all other drivers > Reboot > Install 8192 drivers > Connect USB dongle > Reboot > You should then see it listed in Menu > Setup > System > Network > Adapters
