It sometimes takes a min or so to come active
If it does we need to add a blacklist for rt2800pci

These should have worked, assuming we are on the right track
Go here: /etc/modprobe.d
And right click open as admin this file
blacklist.conf
At the end add the line:
blacklist rt2800pci
And save
Then reboot

Yes ! you're a star ! Thanks for your help with this, I couldn't have done it without you.
As soon as I rebooted the connection was recognised and it connected automatically. So it seems that the wrong Kernel Module was installed automatically then, I wish there was a better way to deal with this issue or at least some other way to discover this error but it's all sorted now anyway so I'll mark this thread as [SOLVED]
Thanks again for your efforts, I really do appreciated it.
Cheers
Ian
