Windows 7 x64 802.11n Wirless LAN Card #2 Randomly stops working

Hello, I've had a re-occurring issue with my network card over the past 2 weeks, it randomly started after I received a windows update. Often as I'm playing a game / surfing the web I will experience a moment where I lose all connectivity and my wireless
connection is telling me it is "Limited connectivity". Although this happens if I go to my Device Manager and scan for available hardware changes to my network adapters, my Wireless LAN Card adapter disappears, after scanning a couple more times
it will return and I will regain all of my connectivity and the issue will not happen again until I reboot my computer.
I'm not sure how I can fix this as I have opened my computer to check if the network card was loose, and everything seems like it should be working properly. It is also strange that it began occurring after an update.

Download and install the latest Wireless LAN Card driver from the website of the manufacturer.

Turned out that the manufacturer switched websites which must have messed up something with the auto updating, thanks.

Will 2800-400 BIOS update enable 802.11g wireless LAN?

I recently bought a Belkin 54G cardbus wireless adapter for use with my Satellite 2800-400, which has a Windows ME OS.
The setup software wouldn't install a driver, even though ME was said to be supported.
I wrote to Belkin and they told me that it was because the laptop BIOS didn't support 802.11g wireless and that I should update the BIOS. I updated to BIOS version 2 but it didn't make any difference.
I don't know if Belkin's instructions were on the right track or whether they were they just pushing the responsibility as far away from themselves as they could.
Please can anyone tell me if my laptop does support 802.11g wireless, with or without the BIOS upgrade?
TIA
Mike

Thanks for the reply. the notebook does support wireless LAN because I can get a 802.11b card to function OK.

Well it's done now so there may be other benefits. Not 802.11g wireless though it seems.

Thanks I'll try to find and contact a service partner.

Dystrophy05: Firebird Wireless LAN Card

Original thread: http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/Desktops/Firebird-Wireless-LAN-Card/td-p/56915
i believe the firebird uses the Ralink 802.11n Wireless LAN Card but i am not possitive. I do not have the card for my computer and want to get it so i can use internet wirelessly. Can anyone give me a link or tell me where i can buy the card for this computer?
Thanks

Looks like it does...

ASK THE EXPERTS - Update on 802.11n with Fred Niehaus

Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to get an update on 802.11n with Cisco expert Fred Niehaus. Fred is a Technical Marketing Engineer for the Wireless Networking Business Unit at Cisco, where he is responsible for developing and marketing enterprise wireless solutions using Cisco Aironet and Airespace wireless LAN products. In addition to his participation in major deployments, Fred has served as technical editor for several Cisco Press books including the "Cisco 802.11 Wireless Networking Reference Guide" and "The Business Case for Enterprise-Class Wireless LANs." Prior to joining Cisco with the acquisition of Aironet, Fred was a support engineer for Telxon Corporation, supporting some of the very first wireless implementations for major corporate customers. Fred has been in the data communications and networking industry for more than 20 years and holds a Radio Amateur (Ham) License "N8CPI."
Remember to use the rating system to let Fred know if you have received an adequate response.
Fred might not be able to answer each question due to the volume expected during this event. Remember that you can continue the conversation on the Other Mobility Subjects discussion forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through March 25, 2011. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other community members.

So there are two parts of this question, the latter part I cannot address as it is a future question. Cisco does not comment on products that have not been released or on the strategy of next generation products.
That said, Cisco was first to market with an 802.11n Access Point and well (we didn't all go on vacation after we did that)
So let's talk a little about spatial streams in general and how it relates to what customers are doing today.
The Cisco 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260 and 3500 Series Access Points are all two spatial streams (2SS).
As of the time of this writing, a critical mass of 3SS and 4SS compatible clients have yet to be deployed, and the vast majority of WiFi clients that will be deployed over the next 18 months will be 1SS and 2SS clients.
The higher SS clients are likely only show up in some higher end notebooks -- Why? well it is a given that smartphones and tablets are likely to continue to be 1SS and in some rare cases 2SS.
This is because additional radios used in this technology consume battery life, add to the physical size of the device and increase the cost. Also many devices leverage the same single antenna for cellular as well as WiFi. Therefore, it is my opinion that 3SS Access Points provide little if any performance benefit for smartphones or tablets in the enterprise today, and any real throughput gain is likely to occur with high end notebooks in close proximity to the Access Point and those are rolling out very slowly and we are monitoring this.
Now we get to my favorite part of this.. I get to ask myself a question and then answer it..
So Fred are you saying that there is no value in 3SS and 4SS?
Of course not, 3SS performs similar to 2SS beyond a short distance, and with any multi-SS product RF interference must be addressed to capture the performance benefits of higher SS Access Points. Actual throughput in any WiFi environment is highly dependent on the presence of interferers and obstacles.
Without the ability to mitigate the impact of interference, 3SS solutions will "downshift" to 2SS of 1SS and lose all the performance benefits anyway IMHO.
I don't want to sound like a commercial, but you really do need Cisco cleanair technology in the AP and Cisco innovations deliver more and will go beyond the simple 3SS aspects of the 802.11n standard.
IMHO it's more about CleanAir, good RF system design, and what we put into the AP with regard to performance "in the environment" and not what is on some spec sheet today.

Elite pavilion m9510 & Atheros 802.11 wireless lan compatibility with win7

I am having great difficulty with the Atheros 802.11 wireless lan and win7; what can i do to resolve this issue? all uninstall/reinstalls of drivers and Windows 7 have been tried several times. The ironic part of this is that the wireless network was working fine until the Qualcomm atheros update and I could not restore to the date of that update, so I rebooted with win 7. I am considering buying a new wireless card but need to know what type to get.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion Elite m9510f Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model uses PCIe x1 802.11 Wireless a/b/g/n card. Many of these PCIe x1 802.11 b/g/n wireless adapters should do the trick as a replacement.
Please see the HP Pavilion Elite m9510f Desktop PC Drivers & Downloads page for HP provided drivers for original drivers for your wireless adapter. You can also provide the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for the wireless adapter and we can search for drivers based on that information. Please see below for an example;

I am having the same issues. I have the same router but a different laptop. Mine is a Inspiron 1545 with an Intel 5100 AGN card. So the solution is to ditch the Linksys router and get a D-Link? what say you Linksys

Upgrading to a 802.11n Airport Express Card in my Macbook Pro

I found this question on the forums answered over 4 years ago and thought to ask it to get a more current response given that both hardware and sellers have changed significantly in the time passed.
I've also found it difficult to replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro. I was able to track down the current part number in my device as being 661-3890; but I figure it may be better just to upgrade to an 802.11n compatible card. I've found a few listings on ebay but they are not straight forward. I want to make sure that anything I might buy is at least compatible with my computer.
A creditable site, OWC, has a part number 661-5048 they sell that is compatible but is on the upper end of the price spectrum. I have the A1150 Macbook Pro (1,1) which I believe is also referred to as the late 2006/early 2007 model. In my research I was able to deduce that some people have had success replacing their cards with the Atheros AR5BXB6 card although there appears to be some debate regarding the different Manufacture Part numbers (482261-001 and 482261-002). There are a few of these listed on auctions (used and new) but the range in price is $100.
I'm new to the Mac screen and would appreciate any help in the right direction as I have yet to find an authority that confidently and clearly states what cards are compatible with my box. Thanks!

After 10.6.8 upgrade, MacBook PRO doesn't acquire IP address via 802.11n wireless connection

After upgrading a MacBook Pro to 10.6.8, the machine connects to an 802.11n wireless access point, but will not acquire an IP address using DHCP. An iMac running 10.6.7, and an iPad2 both successfully connect and acquire DHCP IP addresses to the same access point. The access point is an HP Procurve MSM422 access point, a commercial data center level access point.
The MacBook Pro did acquire a connection and IP address when running 10.6.7, so this seems to be a regression introduced with the upgrade to 10.6.8.
The MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 will acquire an 802.11g connection to the same access point without any problems. The access point has different SSIDs for 802.11n and 802.11g.
Changing the IP settings on the MacBook Pro from DHCP to a fixed IP address doesn't solve the problem.
Just wanted to document this situation for those following problems with migration to 10.6.8.
If anyone uncovers the reason and has a work around for this situation, please share. I'll keep looking, too. I plan to do a combo install of 10.6.8 later today to see if this remedies the situation.

Deleting and recreating the AirPort connection doesn't help this problem. Neither does turning the AirPort on/then off, going from DHCP to FIXED IP addresses, or repairing permissions. I even upgraded the firmware in the HP MSM422 access point from 5.4.29 to 5.5.1 and that didn't make any difference, either.
Using the combo installer to reinstall 10.6.8 did fix the problem.

PCI Card Slot - Wireless LAN Card Problems - Help!

Help.
I'm having problems getting my board to recognize both:
Linksys WMP11 Wireless LAN card; and
Netgear WG311T Wireless LAN card
(returned the Linksys card, but the Netgear card had the same problem).
Neither card is being picked up by Windows (XP Home), although both the "power" and "link" LED lights up when inserted. I've tried every PCI slot, same issue. Nothing shows up in the device manager, and no new hardware is detected. The Netgear software tells me that the card has not been installed.
Am left thinking I need to RMA the board. Any suggestions woudl be much appreciated.

My roommate has a similar setup as you and I am having the same problem getting a pci wifi card to work in the machine. I have tried both a Linksys WMP54G and a Netgear WG311. Both cards will scan for networks bit will never connect my router (Linksys WRT54G). Just to get them to recognise the network, I have to turn off WEP, and turn on ESSID broadcast. Both of these cards work prefect in other computers. I know it not a signal problem because I can take my laptop and set it in the same location and it gets excellent signal.
I have tried changing slots in the machine, the wifi cards were the only PCI cards in the machine and an GeForce 6800 GT in the AGP slot. I have no idea what the problem could be. But I'm leaning towards the mobo at this point.

Windows xp on te2000 cant detect wireless lan card

I have a te2000 laptop the wireless lan card is detected as PCMCIA MTD-0002.
I downloaded the drivers but even after I install windows wont use it. I get error code 10.
How do I make it work ?
The wireless port is enabled but it has an orange light (not green) any ideas why ?
Thanks in advance
Ken.

Thnks Joao for the response.
I downloaded the drivers here but even if I install them Windows doesnt let me use it and there is the yellow question mark in device manger & status is T'his device cannot start. (Code 10)'
If I remove the driver and let windows search for it manually it doesnt get it, so it installs it as pcmcia-mtd-0002.
How do I tell if it's Orinoco or not ?
At the bottom the wireless lan has a number 00022d 366fed if that is any help.
Notice hot the timestamps on this board are off :)

Is there any 802.11n wireless bridge or some bridge throughput close to 100M?

Hi All,
I'm looking for some enterprise wireless bridge. Is there any cisco 802.11n wireless bridge on the market? or some bridge close to 100Mbps throughput? Thanks.
Lou

Hi;
I'm investigating the exact same thing. After seeing the caveat in the 1250 install guide that said "Don't use it as a bridge!" (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1250/installation/guide/125h_c1.html) , I called the Cisco WiFi sales engineer assigned to our region, the brilliant and lovely Ms. K.
She clarified some items for me.
802.11n relies on several things for increased speed, two of which are multiple spacial data streams (currently two) and the 40MHz increased channel width. When you do point-point, apparently there is just not as much multipoint benefit. She said we would be lucky to see more than 50 Mbps real throughput on a bridge using 1252s at 100m range. BTW, she said that even though the install guide says the 1252s could not be used in bridge mode, she thought it would work; perhaps the 2007 guide is outdated.
So, we are going to get some antennas and test this. Will try to report back on the results.
Regarding Exalt, she did confirm that at present Cisco is re-branding and selling them as OEM and support would be direct through Exalt, not TAC. She would not speculate on looming acqusitions, but did jokingly observe that in the past, all the companies that Cisco absorbed went through an OEM re-sell phase ;p
