Hi [metageek4](https://community.oscium.com/u/metageek4),

> The thing is that when installing the Edimax USB in, there is a message to update the driver to ensure that the full speed can be achieved.

I **do not** recommend installing this driver. We want the adapter to be in its most original state out of the box before using with inSSIDer. This is because inSSIDer will overwrite its own driver across the adapter to turn it into a packet capture adapter. Any driver that is installed prior to that may cause further complications.

> When I start the Insider+ the windows system manager, starts showing ! on the network card, and the network disconnects. when I close the iNsider + the System manager shows the network card as functional.

OK, I recommend uninstalling and deleting any previously installed drivers on the Edimax adapter using Device Manager. Once this is done, inSSIDer (ran as admin) should install its own driver across the adapter. It should look something like this:
