This assumes a Windows 7 computer since many older laptops are still on that OS, but I can provide steps for a new or older version as needed! Please take a look at the following steps and give them a try.

What seems likely with this situation is that your laptop for some reason isn't trying to connect with the correct security encryption, which can be easily remedied.

However, going off the model, we can state a few things.įirst, since the card is using wireless N, it definitely is compatible with the signal that eero puts out – not only is wireless in general designed to be backwards compatible, some aspects of the 802.11N format are, in a manner of speaking, forwards compatible. Thanks for taking the time to reach out, and sorry for the delayed reply here! I apologize for the frustration in getting that device connected – I'm definitely familiar with this series of adapters, and this model in particular is old enough that Intel stopped offering direct support for the unit at least a year ago.
