| 794769 | 2009-08-04 23:15:00 | Nothing wrong with USB adapters. I've got 2 here. The only thing is, there are no drivers. I had the drivers on the old hdd (till it crashed). In the meantime the company (Zydas) were acquired by Atheros a few yrs ago. And they wont tell me WHERE to get the drivers! I sent them an email 2-3 days ago. Which had more options in its config, than the drivers I managed to find using Windowsupdate in XP I think the prob is, I need a better aerial on the router (the connection kept connecting / disconnecting). The router is in the lounge, one of the PC's is around the corner ( with a wall in between) |

I consider them stop gap devices at best. |

| 794771 | 2009-08-05 02:55:00 | This thread is probably keeping a lot of members amused...:p :D Most certainly! :lol: Once I get Tomato onboard I'll probably start a new thread as the title of this thread is not exactly relevant. If I could change the title of this thread I would make it: "A wireless newbie jumps into the deep end" or "Murphy's Law alive and well in Masterton". :waughh: Chill, the only reason I have not put the 520GU in the driveway and driven over it several times is the continual support I have from you, Speedy, Blam ... and probably a few others who will join us before I crack the wireless nut. :thumbs: Stay tuned... I may get back to the 520GU this evening. ---- BTW Chill, the pwr light starts blinking after about 2 seconds - I always wait for that to happen. |

Well true some maybe, but some also support WPA / WPA2 / PSK. And enterprise. Depends what you pay on what encryption they've got (altho this also depends on what the drivers install on what you get) There's 12 ports on this, (and 3 on a PCI card), so why not use them? Saves me opening the case all the time. |
