After installing the new adapter on my laptop, it shows its there and it
recognizes the network, but it only connects on the old adapter. I tried
disableing it but lost all internet connection. How can I set it up so that
it reads the proper connection.  Thanks Neil

Hi
If you disable the old Adapter and the new Adapter is Not picking the
connection it means that its installation is not Valid.
Make sure that you have the latest drivers for the OS, Uninstall the
adapter, Reinstall with the most recent drivers.

Hi
Installed devices can be disabled by going to the Device Manager, Right
Click on the device entry, and click Disable.
Enabling is a similar process.
