Problem with ASUS wireless dongle

Hello. I recently bought an ASUS WLAN USB 2.0 adapter and am having problems using it with my MDD. At unpredictable moments, I get the screen saying "you need to restart your computer" (is that a "kernel panic"?). Otherwise, the unit works perfectly.
Has anyone else had experience with this adapter? And/or does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to calm down?

Yes, that is a kernel panic. I have no experience with it but if you don't get kernel panics without the adapter, it's almost surely a driver problem. Is this the WL-167g? I noticed that there were no OS X drivers, nor did it mention Mac support on Asus' website.

  • Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

    Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

    I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced.  I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced.  My current one is working OK but does stick a bit.  Seems to get worse over time.  My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem.  Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
    I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen.  My wife has the Tour as well.  She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it.  It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts.  When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse.  Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster.  As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster.  If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play.  My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine.  I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

  • Window 8 WiFi problem with Cisco wireless network

    Anyone encounter a Windows 8 WiFi authentication problem with Cisco wireless network?
    We are using WLC 5508, 7.2.111, and AP 3602i with WPA2.
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

    This problem occurred with Soney, and Dell models.  Lenovo with Windows 8 factory installed is working fine.
    Won't make any difference as these laptop's wireless NIC cards are different.
    Can you try with OPEN authentication.  If the Sony and/or Dell laptop works, then you start cranking up the security and/or encryption settings until you break them.
    I'm with Scott here:  It's got to be a wireless NIC card driver.
    As what George has stated, post the debug of the failed attempts.

  • I'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse

    Since upgrading to ML i'm having problems with a wireless Logitech mouse that worked well prior to the update. I'm using the current Logitech Control Center software. No other mouse software is on my Mac Mini. If I use a Guest Aacount the problems ( wheel and back button ) are not present. Any suggestions?

    You might try the Logitech support site. There are communities on there:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/keyboard-mice-combos
    Here is a link to drivers:
    Logitech Drivers
    You might check your home folder/Library to see if you can find a Logitec .plist.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the mouse.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • TS3048 I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac

    I am having a problem with my wireless keyboard on my iMac.  Sometimes the keys seem to have a life of their own and I get a string of the same letter or symbol even though I only pressed the key once.  Does anyone know how to rectify this?

    Hello:
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
    If that does not help, the KB is probably failing.

  • Wireless printing problems with Asus router RT-N56U and HP8500

    Neew MacBookPro with Lion. Also have HP 8500a 909a printer hooked up to an Asus router RT-N56U Google search indicates MANY problems with HP printers being used with wireless Mac, even with Airport. Of course we know HP is one of the worse customer support companies on earth,, so I came here in hopes to find a solution. I updated my mac and firmware for router. The Mac doesn't find any printers wirelessly at all. If I hook up with a cable it works fine.. Thanks

    I own the RT-N56U (best router on the market hands-down), along with an HP LaserJet 1320, however it's connected via USB to my computer instead of the router. While it's true that HP don't have a terrific support record for Mac drivers in fairness it may be the Asus router causing the problem; if you Google "Asus RT-N56U" and "mac os x print server", you'll find complaints similar to yours from other users. From what I understand this is partly dependent on your printer and whether it supports network printing, and partly on compliance with the Asus router firmware. I Googled what appears to be a possible solution to configuring the Asus print server, however I haven't yet tested this myself:

  • Linksys wireless router G problem with ASUS Eee PC 1000H laptop

    This is a new laptop with a Ralink rt2860 chipset. Problem: I have trouble connecting to the router at my office. When I can connect, I often get such a low connection speed that the signal drops out and I lose the connection entirely. I have no trouble connecting to other routers. ASUS tech support says this is not a problem with the laptop. The rep told me that some "older" routers have a problem recognizing the Ralink chipset. Logically, if I can connect but it drops out, does this indicate a need for a signal booster? Does anyone know about any related compatibility issues? Thanks for any help; this is driving me nutty!

    I know just enough to be dangerous. How is the change the channel on the router changed? Sounds like a system administrator job...

  • Problems with linksys wireless router please help!

    Me and my 2 flat mates share a wireless network, and for some reasons if cannot connect to it. I have vista home premium and a belkin dongle. We used a Linksys router to begin with, not sure which model, but we recently had to buy a new one because that did not belong to us. I can see the network so the dongle picks up the signal but every time I connect and put in the network key I either get Not close enough to the net work point (the router is about 5 meters away) The network key is incorrect (I created the password and it works on the other two people lap tops) The network has timed out. Sometimes I can connect to the network for a moment then it kicks me off. The connection wizard shows the network at full signal. I’m not sure what the problem is, I have done a full restore on my computer and the dongle was installed onto my computer via the disc it came with. I do have another dongle that is a Linksys one; however it does the same thing. Not sure what the problem is here, can anyone help before I have to go out and buy long network cable and have wires all over my flat i have a heap of work that needs doing this week so any ideas would be really helpfull

    I would first try and bring your computer (if possible) closer to the connection point. That way it will have full time to connect. Also sometimes some materials in the walls mess with connections due to the type of material.  Sometimes if your IP address is not quite right you will connect but then get booted offline. Sometimes if you don’t broadcast your ssid you cannot connect. (one of my Visa Networks does this ssid broadcast must be on).
    Are you using WPA or WEP because Sometimes WEP is not as stable with some wireless modems/ so changing to WPA might solve your problem

  • Problem with the wireless speed on windows with bootcamp

    I've got a problem with the following:
    the wireless card of my mac pro is very slow when i run windows on my mac pro with bootcamp
    When i just run OSX everything works fine, but in windows, when I connect to the wireless my wireless speed
    drops to 11-18mbs.
    First I thought that it was a drivers issue, but after the update of bootcamp drivers 1.4 the problem still exist.
    First I had a Topcom wireless router now I've bought a Apple Airport Extreme, but the problem isn't solved yet...
    The router isn't 2 meters away from my mac.
    And the wireless speed is fine when i connect with my dads windows laptop...
    Does anyone has a solution? using a cable isnt a solution for me because in September I will move with my mac pro one floor down.

    You might want to ask this in the Boot Camp forums. As your wireless work fine under Mac OS X it sounds to be a software issue as opposed to a hardware one which means as Windows users they'll better be able to help.

  • Problem with ASUS laptop and Windows 8

    Hii
    I have a problem with my ASUS vivo LAPTOP. Its running on Windows 8 and going pretty well, but sometimes when I use the Google chrome browser and open multiple pages the computer freezes and does nothing which requires me to shut it down by long pressing
    the power button.
    The question is what is the problem and does this process of long pressing the power button to shut it down harm my computer Hardware or Software?

    Are you sure the issue is happening only when you use Google chrome. Then, it is an issue with the browser. Remove chrome and then re-install and check if that fix the issue.
    Regarding force shut down is only meant to be used in emergency situations. If the computer is forced to shutdown everytime, this can lead to formation of bad sectors in hard disk and reduce its life span.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3180 MY APPLE TV BEGAN IN A FAST BLINKING MODE.  WHAT CAN I KNOW FROM THIS OTHER THAN THERE IS A "PROBLEM" OR, IS IT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH MY WIRELESS NET GEAR ROUTER NOT SENDING THE SIGNAL ??

    all of a sudden, I do not have internet connectivity.  Checked all network settings and TV recognizes that a wireless network is operational. the internet signal to my imac is fine. what does the rapid flashing APPLE TV box indicated other than that there is a problem ??

    The flashing light is indicative of a problem with the unit. I would connect to iTunes to restore

  • WRE54G wireless extender problem with WRT600N wireless router

    My Vista laptops work fine with the WRT600N router but not with the WRE54G extender. On the other hand my XP laptop works fine with the wireless extender so I know that both router and extender are working. Linksys tech support told me that the WRE54G is not compatible with the WRT600N, which is simply not true. With my XP laptop the signal goes from poor (5-10 Mbps) without the extender to excellent (54 Mbps) with the extender. Also, the lower blue light on the extender blinks indicating data transmission. I can access the setup page of the extender only with the XP laptop and wired desktop computers but not the Vista laptops. I suspect there is a Vista network setting that is the problem. I've turned off the firewall but to no avail. I've also switched between mixed mode and G-only, which made no difference. Anybody have any suggestions?

    I have a secure wireless network (WPA). Perhaps my 4-5 year old XP laptop is the only laptop on the planet that works with the WRE54G-WRT600N combination. But I can assure all the doubters that this laptop categorically works flawlessly when I would otherwise be out of range without an extender. Good luck to spalaw. Please let me know if you are get your WRT160n to work with the WRE54G, especially you're able to connect with a Vista laptop.
    Hi
    I am Afraid and wont be surprised if ya all people are nt able to use a N series Router with a G series Range Expander !
    the Reasons is simple - N series is not BackWard Compatible as u check out the sources around. (Back Ward Compatible means compatible with the previous versions for its wireless Band , e:g - G band and B band.)
    as far as my experience is concerned regarding the Range Expanders , me and my bud wasted a whole Week Configuring a WRT350N and WRE54G v3 , and it worked somehow on the seventh day  for an hour and Lost the connection again! Dayumm !
    and we tried setting up with the same expander with WRT54GS v7.2 , it worked like a charm.
    Conclusion : " WRE54G is a g series 2.4 Ghz expander which will work fine with all g series router though may not work with N Serious routers."
    and if you really wish to Use something which can actually Extend the range for ur N routers signals , Better go for WAP4400N !!!!!!
    And if someone still wish to run around , wanna try some tweaks (which i dont preferr )!
    for WRT600N , just enable 2.4ghz band . as Range expander doesnt support 5 Mhz.
    Use Only standard Channels . e.g : 1,9,3,11 .(No Wide and stuff.)
    Try using WEP encryption first . (cause thats how we made WRT350N worked for a while. sighs)
    At last , Wish u Luck.

  • Problems with Asus Xonar D2X and DMIX

    Hello,
    i have a problem with my ASUS Xonar D2X and DMIX. It is not possible for me to change the "defaults.pcm.dmix.format" in /usr/share/alsa my audio/video/youtube files are always playing with "format: S32_LE" (defaults.pcm.dmix.rate is working fine). On my other rig with an Onboard Realtek Soundcard i dont have this problem. Iam also using on a extern DAC.
    Please help me.

    If it only needs 12V, you could use one of the auxiliary power connectors in the PCI bay. See Figure 1
    <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWtechPCI/Articles/pciimplementation.html>
    You can get the connector from this cable
