Title: DWA-130 RevE: Connects but then stops transmitting
Post by: Deon36 on November 17, 2012, 07:52:14 AM

Ok so...

I got this adapter..hooked it up...slapped in the software..worked fine. Excellent connection...on the net...downloading...transfering files to other pc's on my network. Great!

Now...here's the thing...if I transfer large files say a gig in size...it starts...then boom...it stops...won't transfer...check my connection...I'm connected...but can't do anything, no internet nothing but it shows I'm connected...I have to disconect then reconect then it's ok for a while. I start the transfer again...boom...it stops...still have full conection. I reset my router...no change. Still get the same results.

So...I went and downloaded the drivers from dlink...took out the software and just put in the drivers. Still the same. It seems it stops working when I do long transfers...like a torrent or transfering  files to another pc. The internet usage is fine but the load time for  a webpage, say...facebook is very slow. I'll check the other laptops on my network that have wireless and there's no problem...go back to my pc with the dlink and I'm t a stand still.

Using windows 7 32 bit. Lots' of ram and plenty of power...this adapter is only like a month old.

Any advise??

What make and model is the host router?
What wireless modes and security are being used on the host router?
Does this happend if you put this adapter in a different pc to test?
Try using mixed G and N with AES only. Then as a test i would try single mode G or N with out any security. If it fails here still, this unit needs to be RMAd.

The model of the modem/router is a Actiontec V1000H from telus.
Encription type is set at AES.
Security is WAP/WPA2
I haven't tried it on another pc as I don't have one here except for the laptops and I guess I could try it them. but I'll definately look into it.

Should I swith the security to both AES and TKIP?

Thanks for the reply.
