Title: DWA-160 Rev A OSX Drivers
Post by: olisun on January 01, 2009, 01:08:17 AM

Hi,

Yesterday I bought the DIR-855 router and DWA-160 adapter rev A and I am having a couple of issues when using the two.

1) I connect to the 5GHZ network and I can get good speeds but only on channel 36 and the rest of the channels the speeds drop considerably. There are only 4 channels to choose from.

2) The DWA-160 drops the connections frequently on Vista and I can't test it on OSX as there are no OSX drivers for the revision A of the adapter.

Can somebody point me to the OSX drivers for the DWA-160 rev A adapter please?

Regards

Thanks...

I am having a hard time using this adapter with the DIR-855 router...

Speed is pathetic and the remote desktop connection pauses for a few seconds after every few minutes...

What driver version are you running on the adapter and how do you have your router setup as far as wireless settings?
