Hi there! How's everyone doing? Man, it's great to be here, to meet all you fine fellow VR sufferers. It's my first post here, but oh ho, not my first problem by a fair margin.
I'm over here with regular Vive and the same wireless adapter everyone else is having issues with. Now, I'm in a weird scenario, let me catch you up.
The HMD LED was solid red, the wireless adapter LED was slow blinking green, the PCIe card LED was solid blue, the battery was fully charged, the HMD was paired with the desktop application, SteamVR said no HMD detected. The wireless adapter desktop application said an update was available.
Now this part sounds dumb, I know, but I foolishly went ahead and tried to update the desktop application. That's where I began to run into real trouble.
Now I can't install the wigig card, the installer gives up and provides no useful information. I've tried the whole thread-worth of suggestions, short of the scorched earth “solution” of working with a clean slate. This bastard worked for years, I'm not about to reinstall and reconfigure an otherwise rock solid windows installation because of a jank Intel product.
Beyond the solutions here, I used a tool to check for unknown hardware, nothing detected but more oddly, it didn't show the intel wiggy doodad. Additionally, no other drivers are being allowed to be installed or updated, so I'm going to do some more weird tests.
I'll report back with my findings and hopefully have a legitimate solution since clearly nobody official is going to be more useful than a kick to the groin.
