My D-Link NWA556 wireless adapter keeps causing problems; my windows restarts a lot as well but thats a separate issue.
My situation: I live in an apartment with 4 others and the internet is shared wirelessly to all of us. The router is slightly far but it’s able to pickup the signal. Since this is a desktop, it does not move around.
Problem: Although it’s very highly rated on Amazon, very few drivers work well with this wireless card. I am using the latest Atheros drivers found on this thread
Question:
(1) Any other optimal settings to get the most out of this card? My laptop downloads the same files from my server at about 100kb/s faster even though it’s a “g” adapter
(2) What settings will prevent my computer from restarting continuously (computer is a Asus H67 Mobo = i5 2500 Sandy Bridge)
Potential solutions: Changing the power saving mode to off. Here are the other options:
* 11d Mode Switch = Disable
* 802.11 Bluetooth High Speed = Enable
* 802.11 Preamble = Long and Short
* Adhoc 11n = Off
* Adhoc Channel Select = 11
* Antenna Switch = Auto
* BackgroundScan On/Off = Off
* Dynamic NMO Power Save = Disable
* Green Tx = Off
* Map Registers = 256
* MFP = Disable
* Network Address = Not present
* pcieAspm = L0s Off, L1 Off
* Power Save Legacy Algorithm = PS non Poll
* Power Safe Mode = Normal
* Power Save Policy (Background) = Legacy Power Save
* Power Save Policy (Best Effort) = Legacy Power Save
* Power Save Policy (Voice) = Legacy Power Save
* Radio On/Off = 256
* Receive Buffers = 256
* Roaming Policy = Very Low
* roamRateA = 24mpbs
* roamRateB = 9 Mbps
* roamRateBOnly = 5Mbps
* roamRssiA = 15
* roamRssiB = 24
* roamRssiBOnly = 8
* RSSI Threshold = Min
* Scan Valid Interval = 60
* Transmit Buffers = 512
* Transmit Power = 100%
* Wireless Mode = 11 abgn (40Mhz)
I am using the Atheros drivers. Thank you.
