D-Link Wireless Adapters > DWA-192
Regular drop outs
imcloughy11:
Hi all, picked up this adapter a few weeks ago and have had very regular drop outs, almost hourly, sometimes more. It doesnt seem to matter if its under load or not, i can be gaming and suddenly it will start flashing blue, sometimes it will reconnect itself, sometimes it will connect to the wifi but has no internet and i have to disconnect/reconnect manually. None of the other devices in my house have this issue. $5 dlink pci wifi card works on this machine with no issues. I have removed all previous network drivers and reinstalled.
Windows 10 x64
latest dlink device drivers
no overlapping devices or interference.
802.11n with WPA2 2.4Ghz
Any ideas?

* What region are you located?
Using latest drivers from the web site?
What Mfr and model is the main host router?
What security modes are you using on the main host router?
Is the USB connection on the PC 2.0 or 3.0? I've noticed that this adapter doesn't work well on USB 2.0 connections or cables.
Be sure any USB extension cables are also USB 3.0 compliant.

I'm in Australia, I have tried the latest drivers from the website, and also the initial "1.0" drivers. Same issue. Security is just WPA2. The router is just an isp supplied TG-1 (http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=1662) I know its a bit ****, but it seems to work fine with all of my other devices (laptop/ipad/phones/consoles etc)
Usb is 3.0, no extension cable, just the cable that was in the box.
Not sure if it's relevant, but heres my hardware.
CPU: i7 4790k@4.5Ghz
Ram: 16GB Hyper X 2133
Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
GPU: GTX 1080ti founders

Can try drivers from the USA site and see.
I also notice that my 192 starts blinking here and there when connected to my DIR-890L in Windows 10x64. Like now. I need to load up Windows 7 and test.
Also check channels that your main host router is using, try manual channel 1, 6 or 11 or 13 on 2.4Ghz or manual any channel on 5Ghz.
Might test with wifi security set to open as a quick test to see if same thing still happens. Re-enable WPA2 after testing.

I'm on Windows 7x64 now and will see if the adapter starts blinking. I believe this was a Windows 10 thing. ::)
