DWA-131 losing connection
« on: April 02, 2012, 03:53:13 AM »

Running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit with latest drivers (17/09/2010 version 1086.33.917.2010) the D-Link nano connects with -30 dB to the wireless router on the other side of the (wooden) wall. Distance: 30 cm, 2 cm wood.
2 other machines are connected wireless as well (Netgear draft n stick for PC/Intel chip-set for laptop). These two never lose network, stay stable at full power connection.
Where as the D-Link DWA-131 Nano Wireless loses connection about 10-40 times a day, being unable to reconnect unless troubleshooter is run (which resets the stick) or the stick is disabled, re-enabled.
In 1 of 4 cases I have to unplug/re-plug the stick.
The connection loss can happen after 5 seconds to 4 hours, no discernible reason.

Obviously, this  makes the stick unusable.

I also tried using the Netgear stick on this machine, and the Dlink on the other, same result inasmuch Dlink loses connection, Netgear stays on-line.
So this leaves the stick or its drivers as the culprit.

anything I can do except sending it back?

What wireless modes are you using? Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual channel to a open or unused channel.
What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto.
