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.

Display adapter causing bsod

hellloo
I am currently trying to fix my bsod issue with my evny dv6 64bit running windows 8 (16gb RAM, intel i7 8 cores), which has been happening since the first month I got it, for many different reasons.
Updating drivers and such has fixed a lot, but then a new error appears. At first I thought it was a RAM issue but that has so far come up clear (ran memtest for 24 hours, 8 passes no errors in fail safe mode, it crashed once when not in fail safe mode but I haven't been able to recreate it). recently I noticed that both intel HD 4000 graphics and NVIDIA are enabled, which it's apparently supposed to do. However, certain applications will run better, and without crashing, if I disable one.
For instance, the sims 3 will crash on the save game loading screen, but if I disable intel graphics, not only does the quality go waaay up, it won't crash on the loading screen. it is laggy, however.
minecraft won't play if only NVIDIA adapter is enabled. the picture won't show and it just won't respond. works if both are enabled. haven't managed to get it to crash if just intel graphics is enabled
Games are the only thing that makes the computer bluescreen. They're the only resource heavy programs I run (sometimes I use photoshop but as far as I can remember that has never resulted in bsod)
to my understanding, it's supposed to use NVIDIA for games and the such, but intel HD for everything else? is there the possibility of some kind of miscommunication going on with these adaptors to cause constant blue screens? or is the error more likely somewhere else?

WRT54GL causing bsod only when an Mac ibook g4 connects wirelessly.

Hello all you tech gurus!
I consider myself a pretty adept pc user. I've built systems, installed wired and wireless networks, many kinds of peripherals, and so far, have not run into any problems I have not been able to figure out.
Here is the situation:
I set up a wireless network for a friend using a WRT54GL router with a firmware version of 4.30.11. There are only 2 wired pc's connected to this router using c5 ethernet cabling. The first and main pc (which is the pc getting the bsod) is a Compaq Presario CQ5320Y running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. The second pc connected by ethernet is an ancient home built system running XP Home. Both pc's work well in all regards, both internet and non-internet items. There is an Apple pc (don't know the model of this one) that is connected wirelessly with no problems. These 3 pc's can all be using the internet at the same time with no problems what-so-ever.
The problem arises when a Mac ibook G4 connects wirelessly to the network. When the ibook connects to the network wirelessly, it causes a bsod (error code 0x00000007)on the Compaq Presario within 10 minutes of the ibook connecting to the network.(yes, I've researched that error code and ruled out hardware problems on the Compaq. The Compaq can run for weeks on end without any bsod, it only bsod's when the ibook G4 connects to the network wirelessly.) IF the ibook G4 is connected to the network via an ethernet cable, there are NO PROBLEMS with the Compaq. The Compaq ONLY gets the bsod when the ibook G4 connects to the network wirelessly.
Sad to say, I have almost no experience with Apple pc's and I am not sure if this is a router configuration problem or a configuration problem on the ibook G4. Remember, there is an Apple desktop connected to the network wirelessly with NO PROBLEMS.
If anyone can point me in the correct direction in trying to fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks!
Chuck

Or you can assign a static IP address on the computer it self.
If it is a MAC computer then click on APPLE icon. Go to system preferences. Click on Network and select Ethernet. Go to Advanced settings and go to TCP/IP settings. Change the configuration to Manual and assign a static IP address to the computer.
If it is windows computer then open Network connections. Right click on Local area connection/ wireless network connection and go to properties. Click on Internet protocol TCP/IP properties. Assign a static IP address.

Can't find Network using a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter with a linksys WRT150N router????

Hello.....I just recently bought a linksys WRT150N router and am having problems connecting a computer that uses a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter. This computer's operating system is windows 2000 and it cannot find the network I setup.....Even when I double checked that the router was in mixed mode.....Can anybody help?

I am having a similar problem with my WUSB54GC adapter connecting to my WRT54G router 100 feet away with only a single stud wall in between. Sometimes the computer connects automatically and sometimes I have to restart windows or use the repair connection wizard to get the computer to connect. Using Windows XP and Mixed infrastructure network with SSID broadcasting disabled.

Wireless Adapter (WUSB54G) Driver Issues

My wireless adapter doesn't automatically connect to the internet. I went under devices and found that it was there but listed as unspecified. I right clicked and troubleshoot'd, but it only claimed to have reinstalled the drivers because there was no change and I still cannot connect to the internet. Help appreciated.

Hi,
This behavior occurs if the driver is corrupt or not compatible.
I suggest that you download the latest driver from the computer manufacturer’s website, and reinstall the driver. However, if the driver is not indicated as a Windows 7 beta driver, but for Windows Vista, we could not ensure that it will work. In this case you may need to wait for the manufacturer to release compatible drivers.

Wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A doesn't work with WPA after reboot

Hello everybody,
Arch doesn't load kernel module arc4 during boot with usb wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A. So WPA doesn't work and It can connect to only opened access points.
I found two work arounds but I don't know how to fix the issue completely.
1. Remove usb adapter and plug it in again (it causes arc4 module to load), then restart networking.
2. rmmod p54usb, rmmod p54common, modprobe arc4, modprobe p54usb and after that restart networking.
Could anybody help to fix the problem generally?

Does the p54common get loaded again as well when you do modprobep54usb?
If not, you might just put that into modprobe.conf blacklist.
If it does get loaded as well, there might be another wireless module getting loaded that perhaps does cause problems. You can check that with
mkinitcpio -v
now, or with lsmod after a reboot before your workaround.

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
Message Edited by Chevere on 03-23-2010 11:45 AM

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.

HT4528 why does plugging iphone 4 into PC thru USB disable computers wireless adapter?

why does plugging in iphone 4 to PC it is authorized on cause the computers wireless adapter to shutdown? Don't recall changing anything on either one, but did do some updates on windows update.

You probably would get better answers to this on a Microsoft Windows forum...the iPhone should notbe doing anything to affect the operation of Windows as it does not communicate with the operating system.
Have you checked the Network Control Panel to see if anything has been changed due to the Windows updates you installed? Something in the updates must have changed the network settings or network card settings.

Wireless adapter not showing up in device manager

Hello all,
I am having a particularly frustrating problem. I was playing around with the memory timings to overclock my computer and all of a sudden, my wireless adapter ceases to exist to my computer. It does not show up anywhere in device manager (including no unknown devices or anything), only the Ethernet shows up. I have tried a system restore, turned off all OC and my BIOS is updated to the most recent version. Is it possible that trying to overclock my computer caused the wireless adapter to burn out? The motherboard I'm using is the msi x99S gaming 9 ack.
Any help would be very appreciated, thank you all in advance for your time to help out!

remove power cord from the PSU and >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
if the wifi card is removable, try to reseat it
also install latest killer drivers from:

[try older version as well if needs]

W510 Wireless Adapter: getting kicked out of most wireless networks

Hi Everyone,
I'm running a W510 with Windows 8 on it. I have an extremely annoying issue with my wi-fi network network card and I have no clue where it's coming from.
The wi-fi networks at my home and office work perfect and I haven't had a single issue with them. I recently started travelling a lot and tried using wi-fi on various locations such as open wi-fi on airports, secured networks in hotels, cafes, guest homes etc. Most of them are not workable. Here's what's happening:
I can usually connect the first time I try, but after a few minutes, and hour top I get kicked out of the network or end up with "Limited" access. When I try to reconnect the it goes into and endless "connecting" state. Trying to disconnect hangs the pane and no actions are possible until I:
1. Restart the explorer.exe process, which it "Not responding"
2. Disable and Enable the wireless adapter though the Device Manager
After that in case of some networks I can connect again for a few minutes, but then I all repeats all over OR I cannot connect back at all.
I have tried using A LOT of networks in various places, and I'd say with about 80-85% I experience the described issue.
I case of some of the networks I had a chance to connect by wire and they were working perfectly. Often I have other people around with me and of course I'm the only one facing the issue, it's not that I have really back luck for wi-fi networks. Plus my phone connects to majority of them without issue.
In many cases when I switch networks I need to manually run ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns, before being able to connect to anything.
The wifi adapter is a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN on a Lenovo W510. The driver version is 14.2.1.3. I've seen 15.x version available for download from both Intel and Lenovo sites, but when trying to install it I got info, that I already have a newer version of the driver.
Uninstalling the driver and letting windows reinstall it does not solve the issue.
I ran out of options on what to check and how to debug this further. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
MikeZyc

Hi, MikeZyc
I've seen this issue on many machines running Windows 8 with Intel wireless adapters. One fix that has worked more often than not is to navigate to Control Panel ► Programs and Features and uninstall the Intel Management Engine Driver. This driver seems to cause the wireless connectivity to get lost or not connect at all in Windows 8. Try uninstalling that, then restarting the computer and see if any improvement is made.
Best of luck,
Adam

Wireless Adapter permanently disabled after sleep mode - Windows 7 64 bit

Hello,
Info:
Laptop: 2014 Macbook Pro running Bootcamp (dual boot...not a VM) with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Network Adapter: Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
Driver version: 6.30.223.215
Issue: My broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled when waking from sleep mode. It requires a restart in order to become enabled. If I try to manually re-enable it, I get a message saying "Enabling..." -> "Enabled!" but after this message the device still says Disabled and the wireless still won't connect to anything. This issue is very reproducible. Occurs both under battery power and when plugged in.
What have I tried?: Tried disabling the "Allow windows to disable this device to save power" under power management, which didn't work. Tried updating driver but Windows Update says the driver is up to date. I was able to find a newer version (6.30.223.227) but I can only find it hosted on Russian websites which makes me a little suspicious.

Many thanks to chemnerd1's hints - saved me going mad.
My problem was that the wifi worked perfectly until connected to a Thunderbolt display - then the wifi was permanently disabled (nothing would enable it; changing driver, changing wifi channel, uninstalling and reinstalling wifi, nothing worked). As you can imagine I was very disapointed after spending a fortune on the Thunderbolt display (brilliant kit) and then finding that I maybe only have wired internet available!
Definately, Zone Alarm was the problem (maybe other firewalls cause the same /similar problem).
My solution was -
uninstalled Zone Alarm (safe mode not required)
reboot with Thunderbolt display connected (checked that wifi now working)
reinstall Zone Alarm (important that Thunderbolt display is still connected)
reboot - checked and wifi still working perfectly - wonderful
I have to confess that I was initially blaming Apple for the problem. I did loads of searches to try and solve this and a lot of links ended with conclusions that Apple doesn't care. Well in this case it wasn't Apple's fault.

Upgrade to kernel 2.6.26.2-1 and my ralink-based wireless adapter

The latest upgrades (kernel26, rt2500, etc.) are causing me major problems with my wireless adapter. It's a junky Belkin model which uses the rt73usb driver (part of the rt2500 package, I believe). Anyway, after the upgrade, if/iwconfig returns no wlan0 interface. Modprobing the rt73usb driver doesn't help. I also see a blur of ugly looking text at bootup that seems to relate to my USB hub - but that's probably an unrelated issue.
Is anyone else having problems?
EDIT: This should probably be moved to Kernel & Hardware Issues. I'm acting stupid today...

I've had issues with rt73usb after upgrading to 2.6.26, too. The kernel even oopsed when plugging the adapter in (you might refer to it by writing "a blur of ugly looking text" ).
I'm currently testing a small patch borrowed from the Ubuntu guys and it does the trick so far. See here:

Drivers cause BSOD {URGENT}

Good day
About 2 years ago I bought this laptop for a really good deal and i was impressed with the performance i got with it. Its quite a powerful and quality piece of tech.
There are some drawbacks...
In the two years ive had it ive formatted the laptop twice. Once to upgrade to windows 8.1, and now because windows got corrupted and it didnt want to use a restore point. Which is normal for windows, it doesnt last forever.
Drivers are a mess. Most i can gather is i'm suppose to download my laptop's drivers from here.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/522...
There are 3 different wireless lan drivers, the chipset drivers cause BSOD's, i can install every single driver on the list and i still have about 4 unknown devices in my device manager.
Point is Im better off googling for the hardware ID's and scrubbing forums for my drivers.
Please could Someone supply me a link where i can download a complete Driver DVD image for my laptop model that works. I am more than willing to download a 1.4 gig torrent if it has proper work everytime drivers.
Infact i would even drive to hp head office if they could supply me with a hardcopy.
Help Please!
Before i break something.
Back on windows 7 btw

Hi @Pixelite ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-7030ei Notebook and needing a recovery disk. Here is a link to show you how to and or order the Recovery Media you need.
FWI: The driver page shows all drivers that were installed on all HP Pavilion Notebooks.
I would uninstall all the drivers with a yellow mark or caution on it. Restart the Notebook and if they are still there right click on the device and install or update the drivers.
I hope this helps you out.

Wireless Adapter Error 10 when CSM Support Disabled

After a motherboard replacement, my Thinkpad Yoga was returned with CSM Support enabled, causing a legacy bios and windows splash screen to appear.
I went into the bios and disabled CSM support to bring back the default black Lenovo boot up screen, but now when windows loads the Wireless Card reports an Error Code 10. I have tried updating to every driver and even refreshed windows to no avail.

I later disabled Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter and found that I could still use WiFi so I went on and upgraded to Windows 10 anyway. Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter does come off the list on Device Manger but I can still use WiFi regardless.
