Double Band Wireless adapter

Guys.,
Do I need a Double Band Wireless adapter in order to see or connect to 5GHz broadcasting?
Cause i have a WRT610n but I,m not able to see 5ghZ broadcasting, only 2.4ghz, and the wireless card in my laptop is internal and is only g/and auto.....
Another question..
Is This router suposed to be so hot? It's almost 100 F degree..normal work, Only one Pc wired and vonage modem connected to it.
At this very moment there's no wireless client connected to it.
Thanks

Yes. You need an adapter which supports the 5 GHz band. A 802.11g adapter won't connect to the 5 GHz band. That only operates on 2.4 GHz.

802.11n: How can I force a wireless adapter to primarily associate to a 5Ghz radio and not to the 2.4Ghz one?

Hi experts,
I am playing with a Cisco 1142 AP. I have same SSID configured on both dot0 and dot1 interfaces. I have a test laptop and it has a Linksys dual-band wireless adapter. However the card always try to associate on the 2.4GHz. It will only associate with the 5GHz radio when I shut down the dot 0 interface. The laptop is running Windows XP SP3 and I'm using the windows wireless Zero configuration to configure the wireless. The following is the AP's configuration:
dot11 ssid Guest-Wireless
authentication open
guest-mode
interface Dot11Radio0
no ip address
no ip route-cache
ssid Guest-Wireless
antenna gain 0
channel 2412
station-role root
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control
bridge-group 1 port-protected
bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
no bridge-group 1 source-learning
no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
interface Dot11Radio1
no ip address
no ip route-cache
ssid Guest-Wireless
antenna gain 0
dfs band 3 block
channel dfs
station-role root
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control
bridge-group 1 port-protected
bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
no bridge-group 1 source-learning
no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
Is it something I can control through the AP or it's the laptop/wireless adapter's own behavior so I either need a new card or update it with a new firmware?
Thanks!

Leolaohoo,
Thanks for quick reply! My laptop is just next to the AP. There is nothing but air between the laptop and the AP.
I actually did speed tests on both 2.4 and 5 (with 2.4 disabled of course) and I got pretty much the same result: 46Mbps MAX. I don't know if it's the linksys n card is limiting the capacity of the AP. But for now I just want it to jump on 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz...
Thanks,

What dual band wifi adapter for HP ENVY x360 15-u205na

What dual band wifi adapter is compabible with the HP ENVY x360 15-u205na please. It is somewhat disappointing that a current laptop is still only single band 2.4Ghz, if I had known before purchasing the HP it would certainly have changed my purchase decision.

I want to use the 5Ghz band on my new laptop factory installed with Ralink RT3290 adapter. Please suggest a dual band compatible wifi card for my hp PAVILION 15-N214TU notebook.
Hi,
This is an Intel based laptop so you can use Intel 6235 or 7260AC I guess. Go for the 6235. It's a decent wireless card..

Using D-link G650 wireless adapter

Hi all I have a question,,,I have a D-Link dwl-g650 wireless adapter I want to try and use in my PB TI I know it is for most pc's but I found site ( http://www.stateofyo.net/metaphyzx/Wireless.htm ) that say it can be use in it,,I only have to install a new driver software from OrangeWare to make it work,,but when I download it it is in a .sit format how do i make this work..I'm new to macs and still learning all there little tricks any advice on this would be great.....
I know there are other cards out there that will work but thought I'd give this a try since I had it already.....

this is a stuffit file format. you can try to download stuffit expander or go get "the unarchiver." - http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html
I like the unarchiver app better, personally. it's easy to install & setup - all you do is open the .dmg file by a double click, drag the app to your Mac HD/Applications folder, & double click the app to open the quick setup panel - which consist of checkmarks for the various formats. you don't have to really do anything but click OK.
now double click the sit file, it should unpack it in the same place where your sit file is sitting.

Wireless adapter upgrade

Im looking to upgrade my wireless adapter to a dual band with bluetooth included. is there a link or a list of compatible adapters for my laptop? Thanks!
my product code is: C2H74UAR

Here is the Manual:
Manual
See pages 28-29. The Intel 6230 is misidentified in this list and that part number is actually something else. Your laptop is one of the last to have had the whitelist where only specific HP Part No. wifi cards can get past a boot block in the BIOS. There is no 5ghz dual band option for your laptop I hate to say.

Force 802.11b mode for a wireless adapter

Hello, I would like to know how to force a wireless adapter to work on the 802.11b band only (this is, make it so it does not use g/n).
Thanks

Butcher wrote:I don't really think that is going to help. (It does not.)
That's probably because your wifi device driver module doesn't support enforcing 802.11b mode, like my b43:
# iwconfig wlan0 modu 11b
Error for wireless request "Set modulation" (8B2F):
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
Does forcing a slower rate without changing mode help, in your casee?
# iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M

Single band vs double band / omni vs dipole

Hi
plz help me with the following
1) differecne between double band and single band antenna
2) does 1040 1140 1240 1260 access point support RP-TNC Connectors (antenna).
can i select these access points with any antenna wth RP-TNC Connectors
3) what is the difference between omni and dipole antenna
(they both have circular coverage )
Regards

Hi,
1) differecne between double band and single band antenna
ANS - Single-band Antennas use a 2.4-GHz band and dual-band antennas use both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.
2) does 1040 1140 1240 1260 access point support RP-TNC Connectors (antenna).
can i select these access points with any antenna wth RP-TNC Connectors
ANS - 1040 , 1140 are integrated antennas and does not have RP TNC connectors.. the 1240 and 1260 comes with RPTCN connectors to connect the antenna.
3) what is the difference between omni and dipole antenna
(they both have circular coverage )
ANS - The below link will provide the depth info regarding different antenna.

My usb wireless adapter keeps disconnecting

So, I just bought this TP-Link TL-WMN721N 150mbps wireless adapter, and it has this issue. It keeps disconnecting, all the time, i've downloaded the latest drivers and i'm pretty sure it's not a malware problem, also tried connecting to different usb ports.
Any guesses?

Hi，
You can also temporarily turn off your anti-virus software, since some anti-virus might not recognize the new component installed.
I noticed that you've had the latest driver, did you get the driver by manually viewing the device manufacture website to look for the latest version?
This issue can also be caused by incompatibility, Please make sure the usb wireless adapter is compatible with your Windows version.
Please also reinstall the usb controllers as a test
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1) In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
2) Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and your windws will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.

Dual-band wireless question

Hi again: I am new to this dual-band wireless stuff in TC having just replaced my AE with a new TC. I have a few questions regarding wireless setup.
1. When selecting the "Radio Mode" you are presented with options like "802.11a/n - 802.11b/g". Does this setting mean that the primary wireless will be a/n wile the guest wireless will be restricted to b/g ?
2. If you Option-click on the Radio-Mode pick list you can select multiple other settings. On of which is 802.11n (5 ghz) - 802.11a/b. Give question 1 does this restrict the main wireless to 5 ghz n only? (I highly doubt this as I can still connect to the "n network" with my iphone which only supports b/g.)
3. Under "Wireless Options" you can select a "5 ghz" network. Is this different than the option detailed in Question 2?
4. Finally, where can I find a manual for TC ?
Thanks for the help, Chris.

So is my assumption that the hyphen in the selection is the differentiation between the two networks?
Also, when I activate the "5 ghz" setting under options I actually see three networks, "Network1 (5 Ghz), Network1, and Network2 in my naming system. Does this mean that Network1 (5 Ghz) in the N only while Network1 is a standard N (with backwards compatibility to b/g)? I think this is the case as my iPhone does connect to Network1 while Network1 (5 Ghz) is not detected.
Thanks for the help, Chris.

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

Just boot camped mid-2012 MBP using Apple's BootCamp 5.1.5621. However, no wireless adapter is listed in device manager

[In Windows 8.1] When I access the Device Manager, it does not list my wireless adapter as one of the devices available. I have attempted to manually install the drivers from the BootCamp 5.1.5621 file.
I've spent several hours attempting to remedy this but have only found threads explaining how to solve the problem if the 802 adapter is already listed in the device manager.

I recently had some BT issue's in Win8 so I wrote a topic about this subject. Maybe you need to replace the Broadcom drivers as well.
Please have a look here:

2g Shuffle crashes wireless adapter

Hello,
I'm a dell machine with windows xp and whenever I plug in my new 2g shuffle I get an error message saying windows does not recognize my device and then it crashes my wireless internet connection. I am using a Linksys wireless adapter on my home machine. I moved my machine and hard wired and the shuffle worked like what you expect from all Apple products! I moved it back and reconnected to wireless plugged in the shuffle, same error message, wireless does not work and shuffle is not recognized by windows or itunes.
Any ideas?
Dell Windows XP
Dell Windows XP 1g shuffle, 2g shuffle, 1g mini, 2 5g 60 gig video

After looking at another post I decided to try a powered usb hub, the shuffle works fine, no problems at all with any other devices using the usb ports. The shuffle works like it should, I just don't understand why that makes a difference, do I have a defective shuffle, is it using too much power from the usb port, should I exchange it?

WUSB54G - Wireless Adapter Causing BSOD

Here is one for the support team. I wanted to connect another PC iwas working on to the internet via my WUSB54G wireless adapter. This was a fresh install, but an old computer. At the point in the installation where the adapter is connected to the USB port, Windows keeps shutting down and giving me a blue screen. Any advice?

Did you try to install the adapter drivers and not the software ? If not you should try that...
Make sure you connect the adapter to a different USB Port(don't use the port to which it's already connected)...
Download the adapter drivers from here: http://home.cisco.com/en-us/wireless?referrer=www.linksysbycisco.com
Once you have downloaded the drivers you need to unzip the file...After you unzip the file you should un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Connect the adapter to a different USB Port and reboot your computer...Once the computer is rebooted you should see a message "Found new Hardware"...Select the option Install it from a specific location and click Next, then select Include this location in Search and browse to the place where you have unzipped all the files and select the Driver folder and click O.k...Then click Next and it should install the adapter drivers...
NOTE : This installation doesn't install the software(Linksys Monitor)...
Once the Adapter is installed, Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and click "Connect". See if this corrects your problem...

Wireless adapter causing blue screen

Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected. When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen. When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine. Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error. I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.
