Windows 8 freezes using the WN851ND V1 wireless card

Hello

I did upgrade (and then clean install) of Windows 8 Pro on my Gigabyte B75M-D3H with OCZ Vertex 4 SS i7. It froze several times during the upgrade and once I managed to install it, but after a few minutes of use - it froze again.
I discovered that if I turn off my card TP - LINK WN851ND V1 wireless, Windows 8 ran very well.
TP-LINK argued that the Wireless PCI card is compatible with Windows 8, however I continued hanging OS experience. What is this design allowing an incompatible driver to take the BONE indefinitely without error or warning?
It reminds me of Windows 95 days.
No wonder that the upgrade is at low cost - because it does not work! It should have been a free.
Kind regards
Fhadi

Hi fhadi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community!

I suggest you to download and install drivers in compatibility mode and run.

http://www.TP-link.com/en/support/download/?ProductCategoryID=201&model=TL-WN851ND&version=v1

Follow the steps to run in compatibility mode:

(a) access to the start screen

(b) press Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you have a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and slide your finger to the center of the screen to display the bar of charms)

(c) search for Troubleshooting, click settings in the right-hand column.

(d) click on troubleshooting. Click run programs made for previous versions of Windows

(e) click on Next, select not listed. Click Next

(f) click Browse and select the driver file you downloaded.

(g) click on Next, click program troubleshooting

(h) check the program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now

(i) click next , select the latest OS known functional for this driver (probably Windows 7)

(j) click Next

Let us know the status.

  • Automatically use the wired on wireless LAN connection when using the docking station

    Hey guys!

    I use the my T500 with the Advanced Mini Dock @TheDude recommended in this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T500-Recommended-Compatible-Docking-Station...

    I had almost a month now, and whenever I anchor my laptop I have to pass the connection wireless switch off hard or using FN + F5 and extinguish this particular radio.

    Is it possible to have the computer automatically choose the wired connection when it is available, otherwise use the wireless radio?

    I use Windows 7 Prof 64 bit.

    Thank you

    ThinkVantage Access Connections (AC) can be configured to do this. Change your location profile and change the order of the adapter associated with this place, for example, order first as Wired and Wireless second.

    When I am connected Wired and I pull the Ethernet cable, AC will switch to using wireless automatically. When I put the Ethernet back in, it starts automatically by using the wired and wireless don't report limited or no connectivity (which means that the switch has occurred). You will have to perhaps set up wireless in AC power options, i.e. disable radio when not in use (I did not sentence again).

    This could be similar to a docking station solution. Mine is without docking station; When I'm at the office and go to a meeting, I pull the wire and have continuity.

    Ideally, the CA should provide a solution. But it may take some fiddling.

  • What is a quick way to exit Windows 7 without using the mouse?

    On Windows XP, I could type the window then u and U key to exit.

    On Windows 7 I seem to need the mouse to exit, even if I did stop my setting of the default button.

    In addition, Windows 7 wants to drag me through a few caveats that I've closed everything.

    Sometimes, it's just my email that is open or a file folder, then there is no pending work.

    But I want to just close without the quiz on my understanding of the risks of loss of work, etc..

    I know that some applications such as Norton and Windows update can simply kill all ongoing enforcement programs to restart

    during the installation of updates, so the 'risk' is not worth the constant reading.

    Here are the steps to stop Windows 7 without using the mouse:

    Press Windows (Windows key).
    Release it
    Press the right arrow key
    Press ENTER key

    If you don't want warnings to stop, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the command-line ' shutdown/f' and assign a key combination.

    See the following link for more shutdown command line options:
    http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htm

    Once you create the shortcut icon on the desktop, you right-click on the icon, select Properties. In the shortcut tab, you can assign a key under the shortcut key combination to launch this program.

    If it worked the first time, there is no reason that it will not work the second time on the same computer, as long as the Windows 7 is a full version.

    If this is an upgrade version, you must have the qualifying OS installed and enabled before you upgrade and it will work.

  • I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.

    I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.  I GOOGLED it but the only reference I find tells me to go to the download page on the Microsoft Web site for this product.  I went to this site and the only thing it is limited warranty info and Product Guide.  I downloaded the Product Guide, but it only covers the basic information like it do not immerse in water, do not take part and the various regulations of the FCC about the product.  There is no info in this guide on how to configure or use the keyboard AT ALL.  Guidance on how to use this product is probably somewhere?

    The dongle is not plug it into the keyboard, it plugs into the USB port on the computer.  Wireless keyboards is not related to them - think of that.  :-)

    If you are missing parts to the keyboard, I would just buy a new one.  You can buy wired keyboards for as little as $4 these days, wireless are a little more expensive of course.  Personally, I find the wireless keyboards to be a pain because the batteries always come out in one in-opportune times.  YMMV

    Good luck.

    The HP Pavilion 20 can be improved to support the 5 GHz wireless card?

    HP Pavilion 20-b010 all-in-One desktop computer
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03524659

    This computer has an integrated Ralink RT-5390 mini-map PCIe wireless.
    http://www.MediaTek.com/en/products/connectivity/WiFi/PC/PCIe/rt5390/
    This card is the only ONE BAND (2.4 GHz), supporting IEEE 802. 11 b, g and n

    IF you wish for the 5 GHz band,
    THEN BOTH devices must support the new IEEE 802.11ac Standard Dual-Band.

    FIRST, a wireless (WAP) access port or Wireless Router on your home network must be Dual-Band (IEEE 802.11ac).

    IF this equipment is provided (for rent) your provider of wireless Internet (ISP).
    THEN, you will need to work with them for this upgrade (may have fees $$).
    IF you have your wireless router, THEN it must support IEEE 802.11ac for the 5 GHz band.

    SECONDLY, your HP Pavilion 20-b010 all-in-One will require a new (replacement) wireless card and MAY require the replacement of the antenna (dual-band).

    The AC-7260 Intel Dual-Band with Bluetooth 4.0 is a topic highly IEEE 802.11ac compliant PCIe minicards.
    IF you only had previously not supported Bluetooth, THEN this additional feature is a BONUS.
