However, the system does not have the driver for my wireless card (Belkin F9L1101V2). Even when it was connected it wouldn't go faster than 400kb/s.with the TP Link adapter it was going 3.4mb/s (megabytes.not bits).So I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my desktop. I checked my channels to see if they were conflicted with any others around me and they were good, uninstalled the box drivers and installed the latest (which were the same thing) and no help there. Switched back to the Belkin and it started all over again. I switched to another usb wifi adapter and everything was fine. This happened for 24 hours and then I unhooked the belkin adapter.everything went back to normal on the network for days hooked it back up and BAM.network kept disconnecting all devices. Never has this happened until I used this. Five minutes later, connection dropped.this happened over and over until the wife router actually started dropping ALL devices. Installed drivers and hooked up with NO problems. Pros: I'm not really one to say that there aren't any pros so.it is in usb form.Ĭons: I have had more problems with this than any other usb adapter I have used.
Yeah, it could use a firmware update (there are none), oh well it works great! Most importantly, once it is configured and working, it may get confused if you move it to a different USB port, and you will have to start all over. Remember, you must set up your Network Connection by hand in Control Panel so the Belkin can 'talk' to the WiFi transmitter.Īlso, note that this device does not configure itself in the USB root, so you won't see it there under Device Manager.
If svchost is blocked by another firewall, enable it. Go to Services (right click on My Computer, click Manage, make sure Wireless Zero Configuration is set to Auto.
Turn off Windows firewall (it doesn't work anyway) Overall Review: On first installation it may report "limited or no access", to resolve this: I am not shown as a "Verified Owner" because I bought it elsewhere, but wanted to help many who are clearly confused about it's operation - see below
