We have moved our D-Link DWA-160 from one computer to another; however, the new computer is not recognizing the D-Link. My husband doesn't remember if software was needed initially to set it up? He thought he just needed to connect it to the CPU. We are using Windows 7 (the other computer was not); is there a compatability issue??? Any help would be appreciated.

Wireless internet limited connectivity

The first thing to do is reset the router. There is a button on the router that you press with a paper clip.You will then have to access the router with your browser and a cat5 cable connection to change all the settings that you might need to change for security. DHCP should be enabled and there should not be an issue with the number of concurrent connections.

Iphone not recognized when attached with usb connnection

Try using different usb ports on your computer. If it doesn't work then try hooking up your iphone to another computer. If it still isn't being recognized then try a different IPHONE USB cable.
If your Iphone still can't be recognized after all of this then read the article at the link below.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Also try restoring your iphone to factory defaults if necessary. This is a last resort. If your iphone still won't get recognized by the computer then it could be the connection on the Iphone is defective and in that case replacing the phone is the only option.

Computer doesn"t start keep rebooting

Try moving the card to a different slot.
Swap slots with another card if all the slots are full.
If this doesn't work, post a reply / add a comment to this post and I'll dig deeper for more options, but in most cases like this, using a different slot or swapping slots with another card will most often fix the issue.
