      Hi nsdq160th,

      There could be multiple factors that is causing the intermittent connection. Note that the adapter is reliant to your Wi-Fi source. We suggest that you make sure that your signal is stable. Also, you can try to bring the computer with the adapter closer to your wireless router to check if it improves the performance.

      For further assistance with the device, send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can have our Second Level Technicians assist you with further troubleshooting.

      Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.

      We hope to hear from you soon.

    I purchased this for a computer in my house that did not have access to an Ethernet port. Unfortunately, you must have a connection to the internet to download the drivers to use this. This is highly annoying as I had to go to another computer in the house, search for a usb thumb drive, and then download the driver. I’ve never had to do this with other usb wireless adapters. The signal of this adapter is worse than other adopters I’ve used. Definitely not worth the money. Spend a little more for a better adapter.

      Hi, sylv,

      We value your time in writing this product review and we appreciate you letting us know about what had happened. Linksys wireless adapters normally do not require extra configuration to achieve optimum wireless reception as it is a plug and play device. However, there are factors to be considered to maximize its connectivity. It could be caused by interference in your area like thick walls or ceilings.You also need to make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the adapter to work properly on your computer. It would be best if the router is within the line of sight of the computer. This will ensure a stable wireless connection between the devices. We also suggest updating the driver for the adapter to improve its functionality. For further assistance, you can send us an email at [email protected]. Kindly include your contact details, location, and the link to this review.

      We'd be glad to hear from you.

      Regards,

      Hello,

      We're glad your USB adapter is working well in your setup. Its speed can be improved by relocating your devices or adjusting the router's wireless channel. Also, unplugging and re-plugging the adapter is not an expected workaround. Please email the link to this post at [email protected] so our Escalation Engineers can assist you further from there.

    Terrible Range

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Do not get this if your computer has anything AT ALL between your router and computer. It has terrible range and loses data speeds when more then 3-5 ft away from your router. Anything further and it will work, but only at speeds about 20-60 Mbps.

      Hi Jqoal,

      Thank you for the honest review. The adapter should work as intended as long as it is properly installed, used with a computer running on the supported Operating System, and is getting a stable connection from the router. Uninstalling the adapter and testing it with other computers help. Update us at [email protected] with the link to your review and we'll have our Second Level Team assist you.

      Hi,

      The Linksys wireless adapter should work with most wireless routers. It is possible that signal interference is what's causing the slow speed. Allow us to have our Second Level Technicians assist you with further troubleshooting.

      Just send us your case number at [email protected] along with the link to this review.

      We hope to hear from you soon.
