Ethernet connections were slow so installed dlink wda-160 WIFI USB adapter but I can't get more than 100 MBPSusing a 5G connection to my modem.Win10 shows it has a 300 MBPS connection both up and down, but it is using 802.11 B, not A or N , I have turned off 2.4 wireless from the adapter in the device manager but win10 still shows it using 802.11 B even after reboot.

USB Wireless adapter not connecting to Wifi

Hello

I am having trouble making my new USB Wifi Adapter to work. The drivers are working fine but the issue is it is not connecting to wifi.

1. I am using Windows 10
2. The adapter which I am trying to work is Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps
3. I have also one USB mini wifi adapter attached to my other USB through which I am currently using internet

From the above screenshot, the Wi-Fi 2 is which I am trying to connect. When I right-click on Wi-Fi 2 and click on Connect/Disconnect, It shows the already connected Wifi through USB mini adapter.

When I Disable WiFi and try to connect through WiFi 2 then it shows an error "Change settings, such as making a connection metered"

The device utility does not show any Wifi available connections though there are 2-3 wifi connection is there.








any idea how can I make connect to internet using my new Alfa AWUS036NHA 150Mbps Wireless USB Adaptor - Wi Fi 2 on Windows 10 ?

 

USB wifi adapter enabled but not connecting?

I recently purchased a USB WiFi adapter for my desktop as an Ethernet cable is no longer an option for me. I downloaded the driver from the site on another computer and transferred/installed it onto the desktop via USB.

I can see the adapter under 'Devices' however it still states it is not connected and cannot detect any WiFi networks. My laptop which is sitting next to it can see the connections fine so it doesn't appear to be a range issue.

Also, under ipconfig, I have two reports; Ethernet adapter which is set as 'media disconnected' and then 'Wireless LAN adapter WiFi' which is also set as media disconnected.

Is there a major step I'm missing here that is required? I have read the instructions that were included as well as the site's FAQ but they do not seem to be useful.

For details, the computer is running Windows 10 and was fine with a cable. The adapter is 'devolo WiFi Stick ac'.

 

Connection drops with USB Wifi adapter

Hi everyone,
since my laptop if far from my NetGear access point, I bought an external USB Wifi Adapter with antenna and it reaches very well my AP. Ookla Speedtest says the same speed as the wire connected devices.
The problem is when the download speed reaches its maximum rate (about 9 / 9.5 MB/s): the adapter stops downloading, ping to the router fails and the wifi icon on the tasktray turns into the world icon (no connection). I have to unplug the USB adapter and replug it or disconnect the wifi connection and reconnect it to have it working again.
If i take my laptop near the AP and use the internal Wifi connection, it doesn't happen, it never disconnects.
I made a try with another laptop and the problem is the same.
I think the problem is the wifi adapter, I already sent back it to Amazon and bought another one, with no luck.
The chipset of the USB adapter is Realtek 8812BU.
My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (build SO 19044.1415).

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks
