Do it anyway?
Yea.

But wait... I was reading in the other methods and since you said that you see a MAC address in the protocols section of the router, I'm just curious as to what you see in the "Mode" option.

Can you tell me?

After that, if it's already b/g/n, then do the first two methods in the link.

security mode:
wpa/wpa2
mode:802.11g/n

Yea. Your wireless card might be trying to use B.

Also, when you get a chance, go to your ipv4 properties and set your DNS servers statically to the below: (openDNS addresses, versus your ISP's, just in case their DNS servers are ****ting the bed)

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Leave the IP address top part to automatically obtain.

2. Disable the Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) in Windows 7 by changing the registry settings as follows:

Perform a full-system backup before you disable the SNP.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]

EnableTCPChimney=dword:00000000
EnableTCPA=dword:00000000
EnableRSS=dword:00000000

No, there's a hive called that in the registry. However, if you don't want to do the registry part right now, we can see if the other settings work out.
If you run regedit, HKLM is the third hive down. Still, it's kinda risky. So if you want to wait, you can move on and save that for last should nothing else work.

alright lets do that.

Method #2 on the link asks me to click "manage network connections" which is seemingly none existent in windows 8. I can uncheck internet protocol version 6 or 4 in any connection. This all seems contingent on step 1 working however.

alright Im gonna do ipv4 properties now

Sparky 12-09-2014 06:27 PM
alright i put the dns in

Freebase Dali 12-09-2014 06:30 PM
Basically, if you can get to network and sharing center, if that still exists in 8, there should be some area saying "change adapter settings" or something to that effect. If you click that, you should be taken to an area that shows your local area connection, your wireless connection, bluetooth if you have that enabled, etc. If you right click on the wireless connection and choose "properties", you'll have a box that pops up where you can untick IPv6.

Edit: Just realized you said you can uncheck. Just uncheck. You're at the right place, as there's only one place.
