Windows 10 Anniversary - wifi problems
Ok, on one PC, connected by ethernet wire to router, upgraded to 1607 with seeminly no problems. On my other PC, connected by wifi usb dongle (Netgear), I upgraded to 1607 but was left with no wifi internet. Wifi was fine throughout the upgrade, but disappeared completely when booting up initially with 1607. Tried new usb dongle (Linksys), with no success. On both, did not automatically find windows drivers. With mfg DVD's, for both installs it stalled 1/2 way through leaving message that it was still installing. Never finished. Using device manager tried uninstalling and then restoring both of these, but they also came back with an error message saying it didn't work. Finally, went back to 1511 and immediately when booting up with this, my wifi came back with Windows recognizing the Netgear usb.
Now, on my first PC that I thought was ok, it is for everything connected via ethernet wire, including my router, however the wifi Roku devices that displayed under my Network on 1511, now do not. Additionally, my Roku Media Player that previously found and displayed media from both my PC and NAS drives, no longer can find them.
Have tried all kinds of Google searches, and can find nothing for this specific problem, or how to fix it. Now to play my media on Roku, I have to copy it to a USB thumb drive and plug it directly into the Roku device. What a pain!
