Arianna, you can't move it from Other to Network Adaptors yourself, Windows has to do that for you. I am sure if you arrow to the adaptor in Other Devices and press the context menu key and arrow to Properties and press ENTEr and then read the ensuing dialog with the JAWS cursor (or equivalent) you will find that no driver is installed. No matter what it won't be recognized in the Network Adaptors section until a proper adaptor is installed. From your description it almost sounds like a Netgear WPN111 which most certainly requires a driver to be installed. Frank
