Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wifi Card - Possible Issues [SOLVED]

Dear Lucky owners of such a card, At least from my experience I realized it is not that bad card, even if most probably many production pieces were faulty or not working properly, and many issues can be resolved. Let me list in order of time the issues I faced and solved about this wifi card: 0) First issue is not about RT3290 card itself but it is related to 802.11w encryption compatibility in between Windows8 and Cisco not allowing 802.11n speed rates so failing to G speeds only. - SOLUTIONS: a. As first test I would recommend trying another router from different brand to see if connecting at 802.11n speed rates b. If you prove point a issue, then try to fix the issue based on following post (in which you can see the reply from myself Emanuele on the 29th of Nov 2014): https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/113836/windows-8-clients-cant-associate-cisco-unified-wireless 1) Signal strenght issue: original wifi card RT3290 installed on my HP laptop was having really bad antenna, with signal fluctuating and sometimes bad even really close to any Router I tried. - SOLUTION: Replace the RT3290 card even with same new card. (In my case as laptop was under warranty, I proved the issue via screenshots and they replaced with new card solving my signal strenght issue). 2) Original issue (1) was actually resolved after HP replaced the wifi card with same model, but with the latest driver installed 5.0.45 seems like wifi rates change too frequently based on high sensitivity of the driver itself, so that suggested me issue was still there, so making me re-testing anything from scratch. - SOLUTION: Install 5.0.37 Driver - frequent rate changes issue (with driver 5.0.45) disappears and sensitivity of signal to rate changes seems to be a really good compromise to have good throughput. 3) To check out 2nd issue above I started again using a third party software inSSIDer free version to check signal while I was doing speedtest on web.
- RESOLUTION:
inSSIDer normally works on Windows7 without any issue but on Windows8 (at least tested with RT3290) I have just discovered somehow this software was slowing down wifi card performance drastically showing a speed up to 0.1Mbps rather than 40Mbps. Simply closing the application issue was not recurring, so uninstalled it and after solving all the other issues above this card works perfectly (at least so far ) Hope this post will be informative and will help other about-to-get-mad guys as me

Hye. After I read up your solutions, I am quite impressive and really want to try out those solutions. However, I am not very computer wise and I really appreciate if you make a video on solving this problem. Up to you if you want to upload it on the youtube (so that others with similar problem can view it and solve the problem too) or you want to direct email to me ( [email protected] ). I really hope you can help me because I am stuck with this problem since last year. Thank you!!!

Looking for an 802.11AC Wifi adapter for MSI GE60-0NC

I want to buy an 802.11AC Wifi module for my MSI GE60-0NC to replace the 802.11N adapter it ships with. It must be compatible with windows 8.1 (as the one it shipped with has serious issues unless I disable N and run it as a G adapter). Do not want to use an external USB adapter either. Is there a compatibility list somewhere or does anyone know of an adapter which will suit these requirements?

For my GE60-2OC i bought an Intel Centrino Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth, it works perfectly.
this card need 2 antenas, (there is 2 antenas in the GE60), and just download the drivers and install Intel drivers.

Hello @Shyamiiit,
Welcome and thank you for posting on the HP Support Forums.
Lets see if we can get your missing Wifi back and running fine.
First and foremost don't panic we can do a simple operation called " System Restore"
This is a tool built into the Windows operating system. It allows you to return you system to an earlier date and time, much like a computer time machine.
Unfortunately I do not have any information about your system. So I am going to provide you with a few links so that you can do this process. If for what ever reason this does not solve the problem there are a couple of steps we can try. None the less if you can please post your full model and product number. This link will help you find that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Now for the system restore links.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista)
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
So all we need to do is run the system restore and pick a day that things where still running normally.
The notebook will do a few things look like it has shut down and then bring itself back do not panic and it may take some time depending on how far and how much info needs to be restored.
Please let me know how this goes. Post back and if things work out great please click on the solution so that others may find a resolution to their issue.
Again thank you for using the HP Support Forums and looking forward to hearing from you.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Windows 10 wifi adapter problems

Ater installing and upgrading from windows 7 to 10 I couldnt been able to connect to any wifi networks at all on my laptop. When I try updating Ralink RT3290 802.11 bgn wifi adapter it says im running the latest drivers. The adapter is entierly disabled when I try to enable it in the network connections nothing happens.

I think I found something that may help. Did you have Cisco VPN software installed before you upgraded? I did, and I think that caused the issue. Since I rolled back, I won't know for sure. I'm going to do a fresh install of Windows 10 this afternoon and see if wireless works. See these posts: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home-Networking/No-WiFi-adapter-found-after-windows-10-upgrade/td-p/5170831 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro-surfusingwin10/no-wireless-device-after-upgrading-surface-pro-to/79b27611-d00a-4482-aa03-117abd0f51fb

Slow wifi with Ralink rt3290 network adapter

I formated my laptop and installed win 7 x64 once again.My wifi was fine before but now I have installed all the drivers from HP support and my wifi speed is very slow although other laptops in my house have normal speed (about 10 times faster).I have a Ralink rt3290 adapter with driver version 5.0.45.0, I have tried to uninstall and install all the possible driver versions with no success.I tried all the forums I could find and did DNS flushing and such, the router is configured fine and is not too far or too close to my laptop.If I connect with ethernet cable my speed gets to about 80mps, when on wifi I get 5mps and on the other laptop I get 40mps.I really don't know what to do and I don't think that the adapter itself is broken.Can someone please help me?? Thank you,John

Yes there are older ones, but it sure seems odd that the older you go back the better they work... I am going to give you a link with revision histories of the drivers. Try any of them you want...I would start with 5.0.5.0 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5229456&swItemId=ob_113862_1&swEnvOid=4059#tab-history I would also check to make sure the wireless card antennas are securely fastened to the wireless card. There are rare circumstances where one of the antennas are not securely fastened to the card during assembly and that causes all kinds of issues, needless to say.

Hello, I do not appear on the computer wifi 5
Is qualcomm atheros ar9485 802.11b / g / n wifi adapter also supports wifi network 5?

Hi, Do you mean 5GHz ? No "qualcomm atheros ar9485 802.11b/g/n " does not support 5GHz, you have to live with this. Many new devices still use 2.4GHz and I think this make take few more years. Regards.
