Same computer, same OS, same drivers and etc...
This one:
S/N: S3381F4001720
Works perfectly
This one:
S/N: S3381F4000383
Does not. I always get "Limited" connection.
Just to repeat myself:
Same OS, Same Drivers, Same everything. Plugging the good one: Perfect. Plugging the bad one: Limited connection.
Any clues? Is it possible to update the firmware on it?
-
The unit that says "limited connection" maybe faulty. There is no FW for DWA units. Only Drivers.
-
Any ideas how long is the warranty for those items? Problem is, I probably thrown away the invoice...
BTW, the problem occurs when connecting to an 868L with crappy firmware 2.0. Apparently the stick can connect to a different router that's being served by a Linksys with DD-WRT.

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.
