I have two exact computers side by side with two exact Linksys WUSB300N Wireless Adaptors. One no longer gets power regradless of which PC I put it on any thoughts besides that it totally crapped out It's out of warranty by some months but these things should not just die should they?

Hello,

What operating system are you using?

Here is a link to the site with info and drivers are on the right of the page.

If my answered help give me four thumbs as thanks!!

do u mean every since u installed the adapter ur computer has been crashing if so then its either bad or u need to reinstall the driver for it

Assuming you are using mirosoft windows, open the control, open "add or Remove Programs" select the linksys software, and click on remove. Then restart the computer.

Hi

take care

Try to upload the latest driver of Adapter.

Hi, if you go to http://www.linksysbycisco.com/UK/en/support/WUSB300N/download then in the 'Select your version' dropdown box, choose version 1.0 > you will then be shown the vista driver download.

To install it you have to go to computer manager (right click 'Computer' - choose Manage), then click on Device Manager. Locate the Linksys WUSB300n adapter in Networkadapters, Right Click it and select "Update Driver Software, then choose "Browse my Computer.....", then choose "Let me Pick from a list......" browse to the location of the driver you just downloaded and extracted, it will say its not vista certified, but if u want to try it, you'll have to accept that*......!!

I found it then works best when the wireless access point is on channel 11.

If you still have problems, i have found that using the driver that windows update finds, along with setting my wireless access point to band: 20mhz (instead of auto or 40mhz) allows my WUSB300N to work - albeit at at only upto 150mbps.

*A Final word of warning however, I am running Media Centre on the Vista machine, and i have a LInksys Media Centre Extender, i found when using the Vista Driver from the Linksys website, whenever i connected the Media Centre extender to the Vista PC, it crashed the Vista PC. :-(

Here is the driver, manual, preety pictures.....~Steve

This would most likely happen if your router is not configured to connect to the modem correctly. You said that you can connect to the router locally that means there is already a connection. The problem would be the routers configuration to the internet.

are you followin THESE instructions?

have you uninstalled the software that came with card?

With the card installed, go to device manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers tree and see if there are any ? or ! devices listed there

Also check under the network adaptors tree for same thing.

If there are any devices with either ! or ? highlight them and in the menu across the top select "action" and uninstall.

Do you hear the "ding" that usually occurs whemn a USB device is plugged in? if not this may indicate a connection issue

Try all USB ports on PC. Perhaps there is either a bad USB port or the connection is not good. Try connecting card via a USB extention cable (male to female) as it is possible that the shape of the card or the PC case means that the USB is not incerting far enough for good connection.

please post back results so I may assist further if required

Here you go.
