I have a hp Compaq nc6000 notebook it was shipped OEM with the "HP W500 802.11a/b/g WLAN - network adapter " but after the Hard Drive failed and a new one installed fresh XP pro the darn thing only communicates wirelessly on 802.11b.
Furthermore if I go onto the laptop adapter properties advanced tab/ Wireless mode and set value to the following settings:
1. 5 GHz only and laptop does not find any wireless networks.
2. If value is set 5ghz + 2.4 (default) laptop will find 3 networks in range.
3. If I set wireless router to G only the laptop looses all networks.
4. Therefore I have declared I am not using the 802.11g with this Compaq nc6000.
When I go to Device Manager / network adapters- it list "HP WLAN 802.11a/b W500" notice no G.
Why is this and how do I verify and install the adapter / drivers correctly so that i can use the 802.11g?
Any troubleshooting assistance is greatly appreciated.
everything else is working up to spec.
