Connection speed problems - black WUSB54GC usb adapter

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here!

I googled nothing helped, and so I thought I would record with the Linksys forum and see if maybe I can solve this problem that others may have as well.

I recently installed black WUSB54GC usb wireless adapter on my desktop PC, windows XP (now updated with service packs, etc.)

The adapter receives the complete signal (very good - excellent, 54 Mbps), but it seems that my download speeds are capped with this adapter. Web pages same way load more slowly. I can place the macbook from my girlfriend directly next to my office, connected to exactly the same wireless network, and its download speed, browser speed and speed test results are always twice as me (any site speed test I use or what file I download).

When I do a speed test, almost seems as if the speedometer needles few want to continue, but they just 'bounce', as they are hitting some kind of ceiling.

When downloading files, the macbook on average 500 to 800 Kbps, while the adapter WUSB54GC hangs out at approximately 90 kbps.

I have read in this forum and have adjusted my router Linksys WRT54G wireless suggested as follows:

-Set the channel 11-2 wireless, 462 GHz

-Change the interval of tag to 75

-Change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304

-Change the RTS threshold to 2304

In addition, my connection speed is even slower, regardless if I have the settings TCP/IP (under the Wi - Fi connection properties) set manual (static ip) or automatically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to be able to get this thing working properly, knowing that my router is pumping a lot more than this adapter is letting me use.

Thank you!

Well, I think I solved the problem.

Seems that in some ports USB on my motherboard (Asus P5B) do not allow to run at full speed wireless USB adapter. I had used in the rear ports on my computer... but the passage for the first ports (that came with the case - Thermaltake Armor) seems to have solved the problem. However, as I believe that all of the USB ports I have is strange Hi-speed USB 2.0 and strange that those outside that came with the case and will connect to the pins on the motherboard works better than those actually built. Huh.

Wouldn't be something to do with the drivers for the WUSB54GC, or is this a problem with USB port drivers?

In any case, I'm sorry if this sounds like a useless thread now, but maybe this someone solve other problems too.

See you soon!

  • Speed of the Ethernet USB adapter

    Hi guys, this is my question.

    I recently switched to a network of 300 Mbps, and I noticed that my wireless and ethernet controllers (RealTek Semiconductor RTL8101/2/3 Family Fast Ethernet NIC / network RealTek Semiconductor RTL8188E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E adapter) have a maximum speed of 100 / 150 Mbps.

    I think 300 Mbit/s is the speed of the internet data outward, the WAN connection. I'll take the side LAN is gigabit ethernet, and Yes you can get near that speed using a gigabit usb adapter. The gigabit usb adapter will allow internal (LAN) transfer of data to somewhere between 5 - 10 times faster than fast ethernet.

  • Problems with wireless USB adapter. Icon missing "Wireless network connection".

    I recently got a laptop HD malfunction cause me to start my PC from 2004. I bought a Belkin N150 Wireless USB adapter to connect to the internet connectivity.

    Hello

    Well, at this point, you should make an executive decision.

    If you think that someone will take just guilt because it's comfortable, it is not going to happen.

    If a new card that is known to work does not work, then you can try to re - install Windows.

    One of the differences between computer enthusiasts and regular users is the availability of the material. I have a set of wireless router, network cards, etc. that are known to be good.

    The components are used for the sole purpose of trying them temporarily on the troubled computers to rule out hardware problems.

  • Portage Z30-A-13W connected to the high speed Port Replicator III - USB problems

    Hi all.

    We recently bought a new Portage Z30-A-13W and Hi-Speed Port Replicator III.
    Setting network and graphics work correctly with port replicator, but the USB ports don't work at all.

    I tried the port replicator USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and I can't seem to work with a keyboard, mouse, USB key or a mobile phone.

    In the case of mobile phones, it is also no output power of the ports that the mobile does not start to load.

    At any one another experianced this problem and what was the resolution.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know additional drivers are not really needed to use the USB ports.
    This is why I m wondering why don t USB ports work.

    It might be possible that ports high speed Port Replicator III USB are faulty, but to be honest, I can't imagine that all 6 USB ports may bad work at the same time.

    So maybe it s a software problem.
    First of all, I would recommend the default BIOS and check the USB legacy support for keyboard and mouse could be activated.
    After access to the Device Manager and remove / delete the USB hubs and controllers in the list of devices.

    Keep high speed Port Replicator III connected to the computer and restart the device.
    Usually, the system should recognize automatically deleted USB ports and must update the drivers of USB ports.

    I hope that the USB ports don't work after this short workaround solution.
    Keep your fingers crossed.

  • Connection speed 2.4 Ghz E3000 and USB HDD

    I use WRT160N for my internet and wifi at home. For the storage of the laptop, I use Seagete Free Agent 2 TB USB 3.0, which is nice by car.

    So I desided to buy E3000 and use as storage server, router, internet and wifi.

    I install everything, he went peaty smoot.

    During installation, I noticed that 2.4 GHz wifi shows only max 150 Mbps, but 5 GHz 300 Mbps connection speed (I use wifi mini card dell 1510 on my Dell laption, supports the 2.4 and 5 GHz).

    I tried different things to the 2.4 GHz to display connection 300Mbps speed (disable 5 GHz option, set the mode to "N" only, always use WPA2, etc.), but without success. When I connect to the old WRT160N, I can see 300Mbps speed of connection.

    Can you advice what settings should I set up, so that I can use connection to the E3000 300Mbps?

    The second bit I want to share and comment on is the access speed to the reader of the UBS.

    When I connect to the reader directly on my laptop, I am limited to 32 MB/s (256Mbps) read/write speed (the laptop is USB2.0, so it seems normal).

    Now, when I write of the E3000 max speed wifi I do is about 3 to 3.5 MB/s (24-28Mbps) and when it is connected to the local network (100 Mbps) speed is about 4 - 4. 5 MB/s (32-36 Mbps).

    It seems slow, peaty compared to the speed of the USB. 5 GHz wifi rate shows 300Mbps connection 144Mbps speed/2.4 Ghz (which is 18 MB/s), so that the router should be able to keep read/write rate highter.

    Is this a problem E3000 or this is the max I can get material in there?

    1. it's a router not a storage attached to the network power house. If you want a NAS with high performance get a NAS. The USB HDD is more for practical reasons, then for high performance. Drive speeds you see through the router are good enough for a device like this. Check what CPU you have in your E3000 and which processors they use in NAS devices that are able to provide data of 250 Mbit/s from a connected USB device and you will see that it is a completely different League...

    2. the 150 Mbps is a rate of 20 MHz. The connection uses only a band of 20 MHz and not a 40 Mhz. This is usually due to one of these two reasons:

    a. many pilots (for example Intel Centrinos) wireless equipped with 20 MHz preconfigured on the band 2.4 GHz. It will link ever more quick then 150 Mbps, unless you change the configuration of the driver.

    b. most / all new routers observe interference of signal on the tapes and automatically returns to 20 MHz mode, if they find too much interference. If you have many other access points in your proximity 40 MHz would mean more than twice the interference on the connection. Any other communication on stuck on 40 MHz channels would interfere with your communication. With a lot of traffic interfering on the range 2.4 GHz, you would see very low real rates if you forced 40 MHz in this case.

    And your neighbors using 802.11 g wouldn't really appreciate your bandwidth hogging. Because of the limited number of channels without overlapping on the 2.4 GHz band a router running on 40 MHz basically use 2/3 of the total available on the entire 2.4 GHz band available bandwidth. The execution of 40 MHz in a neighborhood with many other access points is all just a terrible idea...

  • Problems with Dell USB - C (DA200) to the HDMI, VGA, RJ45, USB3 adapter

    Hi all

    I guess I'm a little desperate at 01:45 haha...

    I just got my XPS 13 9350 and it's great. I bought the USB - C DA200 adpater USB3, RJ45, VGA, HDMI. Unfortunately, I have some difficulty with the device. They are listed below:

    (1) plug, computer does not recognize the device. If I right click and uninstall in Device Manager and do a scan 'new material', it works again - but not for long.

    (2) the device and the Realtek gigabit portion to connect and reconnect every second in Device Manager and it's annoying.

    (3) disabling the wireless card/connection really seems to help the unit to connect and it works 100%. ONLY when the wireless adapter is disconnected.

    Basically, windows is to have a real time hard keep this adapter plugged... almost as if he can't recognize it. I tried to install the drivers for the card - nothing. I've updated all the firmware from Dell crush (including the chipset) and the BIOS... nothing. Same thing. If you do a search on google, there are a few discussions on this problem. There is a nice size on Reddit.

    Someone has an idea, what happens? It's a real shame that a beautifully designed and expensive adapter does not work with a Dell computer.

    Thank you, AJ

  • Windows WiFi problems 8 - USB adapter

    Hi guys, just thought I would first thank you guys to check my question and can help me, I really appreciate it!

    OK so I have Windows 8 Pro installed on my desktop, I built it myself so if you need card let me know.
    I recently moved to a different location that requires my PC to get a Wi - Fi connection, so I bought a USB Wi - Fi Wi - Fi dongle: Edimax EW-7612UAnV2. It is plugged and it worked first time no problem. Now, after a few updates that it doesn't work, sometimes it does not connect, sometimes limited, sometimes full of connection, but still no real access via browser s, sometimes that it works, but for less than 10 seconds and slow worm. So far, I have:
    Used all the different diagnose and repair network tools, network card and USB devices. Sometimes bad ip configuration, it does not find default gateway.
    Uninstalled the driver, but as soon as I plug it back, I guess because it's a plug-and-play device.
    Used ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew to refresh the DHCP
    Also manually entered default gateway into the adapter.
    Still no solution. Some would help that he had driven me mental!

    Hi Forum,

    I have an instrument designed to be controlled via a signal with a RS232 cable series and I try to get NIMax to recognize and send test orders.  My laptop (running Windows 7 Enterprise) has no serial port so I use a USB adapter to connect.  When I could not initially the device appears, I searched online and find suggestions that I should install the NI-VISA driver.  I downloaded and installed, but it does not help - to open VISA test panels is greyed out and it indicates that the unit is 'away' even when it is plugged.  When I open the control panel interactive of VISA directly, the device appears as a question mark, and if I double click top, it says the following:

    You need to install some drivers Windows are necessary for your USB-serial adapter (should have with the adapter).  Once Windows detects the serial port will be MAX.
