Hi..
Setup:
- router DI-624, rev C, firmware 2.53;
- usb wireless adapter: GWL-G132, latest drivers
WiFi Config:
- SSID not broadcasted
- WPA2/PSK used
- auto select channel
- usb adapter is at less than 10 feet from the router, no interference
Laptop:
- Compaq Armada E500 (USB port 1.0 only)
Problems:
- connexion from wireless drop at random times; unable to make it work again unless I do one of the following :
-- I take the USB adapter off the craddle and insert it back again
-- reboot the laptop
-- reboot the router
-- any action within the DLink uitlity (rescan, reconnect) is useless
- if I transfer a large file from one computer to another, one of them being the one with the wireless adapter, I will eventually get:
- my laptop rebooting itself
- a BSOD, stop D1. In both cases no entry in the event log.
Note that my settings prevent the automatic restart in case of a fatal error. My system should not restart without a giving BSOD !!
If I remove the wireless adapter and use a plain old cat 5 cable on the laptop, none of these "glitches" happens..
I called D-Link support.. No useful help to get from there so-said "experts" : "reinstall the drivers and call us back if that doesn't work" - "reboot the laptop/router". Yeah it works, but the same problem reappears an hour later..
I'm looking for a more permanent solution.. Not a monkey fix..
Any clues, suggestions ?
TIA !
