I've been running Windows 7 in a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro, which has the Airport Extreme wireless network card, and had been connecting to my Netcomm wireless router without problem.
But suddenly now Windows won't connect to wi-fi, nor detect it, nor give me any option anywhere in the Control Panel that I could use to connect to wi-fi, while the Mac is still connecting just fine.
In Windows, the Wireless Network Connection icon doesn't even appear in Network Connections in the Control Panel.
I've tried downloading AirPort Utility for Windows, but that didn't work. It says AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort wireless devices.
And most of the menu options in Airport Utility are grayed out, so I can't use them.
And I'm not sure, but I think AirPort Utility is more geared for use with an AirPort Extreme base station, but I don't have one of them - I'm using a Netcomm router.
I upgraded my Mac operating system to the new OSX Mavericks a couple of days ago, so I wonder if this problem could've been caused by that.
I have seen people have posted in forums asking for a link to a driver for Windows to AirPort Extreme, but haven't seen a useful reply.
I need Windows for my business, because my practice management software is not Mac compatible, and requires internet connectivity through Windows to be able to function.
I'm at my wit's end here, and would really appreciate if someone could please help.
When you reply, please don't assume I have any more than basic knowledge of tech stuff, because I don't. Most of what I know about these issues I only learned today while struggling to find a solution. If you skip any steps in your explanation, you'll probably lose me.
Thank you, and I hope someone can help.
