Ralink WIreless adapter N TouchSmart 600xt (600-600/t): problem w / 5 GHz 802.11n and DD - WRT fw

I really didn't have a good experience with HP support trying to figure why my wireless 5 GHz N is not yet detected by my new 600xt.  I tried to load the latest Ralink drivers and it made no difference.  There are a few settings in Device Manager on 5 GHz so I have reason to believe that it does not support 5 GHz as some previous TouchSmart users had trouble with.

This network is detected by my Dell laptop almost 2 years very well, so I didn't expect this.  My environment really demands N connectivity and even though I have a structured wiring all through my house, it is not likely that the location of this machine will get wired anytime soon.

I'm using DD - WRT firmware on a WRT600N router.  The DD - WRT software is a 2.4 version, but it's not the newest.  It is:

DD - WRT v24 - sp2 (07/21/09) std - build 12533

If someone has already tried a newer version or more old firmware thanks for posting your experiences.

I had checked that the country in Ralink settings setting should be #7.  Nothing else seems not to apply to this problem.

I just got my 600xt the other day, but before I bought it I was wondering if 802.11n adapter that support 5 GHz.  It is my understanding that not all do.  I found a card for the 600-1050 version that says this:

Integrated Bluetooth and WLAN 802.11b/g/n single-band (2.4 Ghz), 2 x 2 featuring MIMO technology

So I didn't even try helping with my band of 5 GHz on my router.  If yours is as well, so you will not be able to use the 5 GHz.

Hope that helps.

  • No internet ralink wireless

    On an hp2000-412nr windows 7 64 bit with ralink wireless adapter, I am unable to connect wireless with wep security (and I like all security through research) even after download the latest drivers from the hp website. A wireless-n usb dongle was bought and works, but I hope that the updated drivers. Too hard to try wpa2 security (but I'm told that it doesn't) because of all the devices on the network that need to change. In fact, the router has a free one of Micro Center Tenda (and fortunately wireless n dongle was by chance free from there also) and it doesn't work even with wpa - what you want for free. At least we had to pay the $ 45 restocking fee to return the laptop.

    Good news. Got, it works. After some back and forth with email HP support, I followed one of their procedures and learned that not all WEP encryption is supported by everything. In addition, among the proceedures wanted a 10 character key, and my key has been 24 characters. I set the router to WEP Shared WEP/Mixed, requiring a 10 character key. WEP is the only security supported by the router. After the wrench of 10 characters (and setting 4 other devices on the network so that the key), it worked. Thank you HP email support. Another blog, not this one, told me that no wireless security has worked on these computers, which threw me off the coast. Happy I persevered and got it to work.

  • Re: Wireless adapter change/upgrade on Satellite L850 - 1 H 4

    Hello

    I have the laptop mentioned above, but I don't like the wireless adapter, because of this, I can't use my router on 802.11 a/c, most of the other devices to recognize the network. If I want to ask if its possible to change the adapter with one that takes care of a/c. I tried with usb but they are great, and I don't like them, + is not the same thing, unless you are buying very expensive.

    Thanks in advance!

    Generally speaking its possible to remove and replace the internal miniPCI module.
    This shouldn't be a big problem even if the warranty is not valid after this replacement.

    However, I don't very well if the BIOS recognize new module correctly m.
    Sometimes new pieces of hardware are not supported by s notebook WHAT BIOS and this can cause some side effects like no system crashes or start

    But like I said above; It of possible remove the module but laptop manufacturer doesn't provide any support for these upgrades.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize wireless adapter

    My hard drive was recently started giving me problems so I just bought a new SSD. It is a desktop computer with a wireless PCI card. I have not yet removed the old HDD and when I start Windows with this one, I am still able to use the wireless adapter (both facilities use Windows 7)
    When I go into Device Manager and try to search for hardware changes on the network cards (on the installation of the SSD), nothing comes up.
    Network cards that show on the old HDD:
    Map Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport
    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
    TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless N adapter
    Network card which shows on the SSD:
    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
    The SSD also indicates:
    Other devices > network controller (has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark beside it, but couldn't find an update)
    I can't find a driver for the TP-LINK wireless network card, but I understand that this feature needs to be integrated to Windows in any case - I do not remember having to install whatever it is extra to do work on the old HDD.

  • RALink RT5390 wireless adapter does not work

    My g6 pavilion laptop wifi adapter was not properly work recently. my internet router and networking are works well as it should, but whenever I restart my laptop, repeat me that there is no link and no other wifi networks when there are clearly other networks because of my neighbors.

    I tried a system restore to solve the problem, but it has no effect and my norton affects the restoration of the system to disable the antivirus.

    I'm stuck on ideas to solve this problem and I don't know much about networking and internet stuff, so I'm pretty powerless here

    Here is a link to my features of laptops if necessary:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03136241

    These ralink adapters are simple ol ' sh * t. I don't know if it will be a complete solution for you, but I was pulling with my network card for months and this has proved to be the most effective for my computer. I have a HP Envy luck to be equipped with a Ralink RT3290, Windows 8.

    so...

    Out of the box, my computer was working fine and it connected to the network OK. As soon as I moved further away from the router, I known constant dropouts, and the connection always folds between the low signal strength, to completely disconnect the router, where I had to re - connect manually there. This question really frustrating. I use my computer on the top level of my house, and the router is in the basement. If I was getting sick of this fast. Update driver after update driver, no luck. After trying everything under the Sun, I decided I would bite the bullet and I tried something a little bit Orthodox...

    I just uninstalled the driver for my computer. Yes, really. When a component on your computer a driver is stripped, Windows software has a few drivers that will install by default for your material so that it can remain functional on your computer. So, once remove the driver ralink on my computer, windows installed sound driver by default for my network card and... Voila! My connection problems are virtually non-existent at this point. The material is not always the best, but at least I can surf the net in my room without my connection affected by constant stalling.

    Now, other that the light on the button stuck wireless with an orange glow and list my NIC as #10 Device Manager, I always use this driver with minimum questions. Occasionally, he'll forget the connection once I wake the laptop from sleep, but this issue has been much worse with the ralink drivers than without.

    If you are aware of the risk (what is low, to be realistic, this can always be undone and you can always reinstall drivers ralink so that deosn proved to be an effective solution), I will explain in detail how I managed to do.

    (1) open Device Manager (right click the lower left corner in windows 8 and a shortcut appears in the drop-down below)

    (2) find network adapters and display its contents

    (3) make a right click on your wireless network adapter (should be something similar to "Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n... ") and click on"Uninstall"in the menu drop-down

    (4) a popup should appear and you should be given the possibility to uninstall or cancel it. Make sure you check "suppression software driver for this device" until you go forward, or Windows re - install the ralink driver.

    -Search for new hardware if your network card is not detected after you have uninstalled it. Your card should appear as "802.11n Wireless LAN card"

    -If you have an installer driver ralink that is newer or equal to the driver that is already installed, you can run the Setup program to remove any driver software remains which is usually overlooked by the device during the uninstallation Manager there from your computer

    -As an option, you can check potential driver leftover files C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. It is important to search for remains that Device Manager / ralink Installer may have missed because it can potentially conflict with the replacement of windows WLAN driver. pilots should have a short name for your adapter (e.g. rt3298.sys); they shouldn't be hard to find. Be careful as well; IT IS WISE TO ALWAYS SAVE no matter WHAT DRIVER SOFTWARE, YOU CAN REMOVE in CASE YOU MAKE a MISTAKE.

    (5) re - enter your information network and you should be good to go!

    I hope that it is of no help to you. People who know nothing about what they will tell you to install the latest driver and yatta yatta yatta this way, because it does not work I had to take the liberty to try to find a solution for these adapters cursed myself. I hope this helps a bit your question!

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter does not connect to 802.11n network

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, equipped with the Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter.  For the life of me, I can't get it to connect to my home network when implemented as 802.11n.  They connect other devices. If I change my router 802.11 g, but no other change, doe HP connect. But if I return the router to 802.11n, HP sees the network, and it correctly identifies as a 802.11n network, but does not connect.

  • RALink 802.11n Wireless Adapter - connects at startup but the dsiconnects after a few minutes

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavillion DV6-3125SA and just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Prem after installing a new hard drive. Initially everything (including the wireless adapter) had been working perfectly, and then after the last round of updates (as you know that get you about 1 million of updates on the re - install) my wireless adapter started to misbehave. He started sporadically disconnect and reconnect, but now it gets disconnected and remains disconnected. It still works fine at startup. I checked that the driver software is updated, more I also uninstalled and let it automatically re - install. An interesting point to note, is that when I linked to go in Device Manager to disable (and re-enable), Device Manager freezes and unresponsive.

    Someone at - it had a similar problem or know a solution?

    Thanks for your help.

  • TouchSmart 600xt Audio performance

    I have horrible performance with audio driver problems in my 600xt.  When the music plays in any audio player, playback becomes slow and jerky when do almost anything in another application.  For example, scroll a Web page in a browser, or a new page load will cause audio problems.  I have minimal software and services running and the CPU usage is normal.

    A SoftPaq is now available to update the video BIOS series TouchSmart 600 PCs with nVidia graphics cards.   This update should solve the problems that many of you here on the forum reported with sound scratchy or sizzling when listening to audio while accessing the internet.

    The update will be displayed on the software and the Driver download page for each model/SKU, shortly, but in the meantime, here is the link to the update on the HP FTP site:

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL32805/PV-81489-2/sp46209.exe

    In addition, an existing softpaq can solve similar issues seen on some models when the LAN using wireless for network access:

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL32307/PV-80051-1/sp44652.exe

    Can I physically replace or add anything to connect to 5G?

    Hi there @tiggerchris

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for help on how to replace your existing wireless network adapter or add something to support the 5 GHz band. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Service and maintenance guides available and put at level of guides for this system offer no wireless adapters. The simplest solution I can suggest would be an adapter USB dual band WLAN.  There are many benefits to this choice. It is easier to install, it's easy to transfer to another device if necessary, and they can be very economical.

    I'd say a bit of research online for this type of device, to see what is available.

    I hope this helps.

  • Want to M6 1225DX: updated HP Envy M6 1225DX wireless adapter

    I'm looking to upgrade the card wireless in my HP Envy M6 1225DX.  Here are a few features on the machine:

    Product # D1E93UA #ABA

    CPU: Intel i5 - 3230M @ 2.6GHz

    RAM: 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM

    GPU: Intel HD graphics 4000

    Wireless: Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn Wifi adapter

    OS: Windows 7 x 64 (I know that HP does not support this)

    BIOS version: F.26

    The wireless adapter that is currently installed (Ralink RT5390R) only supports SISO and the download speed tops out around 18-20Mbps.  I'm looking to replace this card with a card compatible MIMO and bluetooth, for example a 7260 Intel.

    I read on several forums that HP basically whitelists some cards wireless in BIOS.  I have reviewed the maintenance manual and it has a list of compatible cards I listed below:

    • Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 9485GN and 3012 adapter Bluetooth 4.0
    • Atheros 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 Bluetooth adapter Combo WB225
    • Broadcom 4313GN 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 adapter 802.11b/g/n 20702
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N WLAN 6230
    • MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter and adapter Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1 × 1 Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter
    • RALink RT3290LE 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001 1 × 1
    • Atheros AR9565 1 × 1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 802.11b/g/n
    • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WLAN for the Japan only

    These are the only cards I can run in this machine?  I also read somewhere that HP no wireless adapter like whitelisting in the BIOS, and if that's the case, would a BIOS update fixed this problem?

    I've been watching the 7260 Intel, but I don't know if it would work and would not order it and he has no job.   This adapter could work in this phone or I am I'm confined to the list given in the service manual?  If I'm limited to the above list, no matter what recommendatins to the adapter that will give me what I'm looking for?

    Basically, what I'm looking for in a wireless adapter is:

    • Supports A/B/G/N and AC at 2.4 Ghz and 5.8 Ghz bands.
    • More high speed possible
    • Bluetooth 4.0
    • 1/2 height Mini PCIe form factor

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your m6-1225dx HP ENVY Notebook and supported wireless cards. Yes, these are the cards that are supported in your notebook and fortunately will work with your graphics card and processor.  Some say that just restore BIOS to factory default help if you decide to go with your choice.

    You could restore the BIOS withthis document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.
