QuestionI plan to use this item to connect a PC to wifi, but until I do that the PC has no internet access whatsoever. I assume I'll need to download a driver to a thumb drive using another computer, then use the thumb drive to install the driver onto the PC?
Asked 5 years ago by PHXquestion.
- Answer What I did was use a friend or neighbor's PC / laptop and download the software that's needed for the usb wifi to work. Once its downloaded, plug in the usb with into the computer and install the software. Lastly, plug in the wifi usb in and it should run properly. So yes your method would work in this situation.

Questioni have a security system with cameras with ethernet plug in. I believe the unit has a 2.0 usb port. So, can I plug this ASUS device into usb and connect to my wifi mobile hotspot?
Asked 6 years ago by jay.
- Answer It depends. Most security camera DVR's have limited the functionality of their USB ports to keyboard/mouse or storage devices. Unfortunately , this device doesn't have it's own internal PC to handle configuration. So unless your DVR has WiFi configuration software built into it, you are unlikely to be able to connect it to your WiFi with this device

QuestionWill this work on my panasonic viera tv. It dosnt seem to recognize it bieng plug into usb port
Asked 7 years ago by Panasonicviera.
- Answer Since it required installation of a driver before you plug it into the computer USB, I would assume that it may not work on a TV. If you have a smart TV, I suppose that there is a way to download/install the driver, but I am not certain. I would go direct to ASUS for the answer. Good luck.

QuestionJust installed ac1200 usbac53 by asus most every time I click on the windows icon I loose internet connection.so I created a mobile hot spot with my phone and works fine what might be my problem?
Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello, This is a difficult question to answer. Your PC and wireless adapter are fine because if they were having an issue it would happen even with the mobile hot spot. So what I would do is unplug your wireless router then unplug your modem and give them both a good 30 minutes to rest. Then plug your modem back in, wait 10 minutes then plug back in your wireless router. Connect your PC wireless again and see if it is stable. If you still have an issue call your ISP and have them check things on their end. If problem still persist unplug your modem again, wait 10 minutes, plug it back in but make sure it is directly connected to a PC. If the same problem happens your modem is bad, if it is stable your router is bad. CiscoCarnage (Wisconsin Department of Corrects Desktop Support lvl 3)
