Old computers and accessories

I bought this a few weeks ago and have had nothing but problems since. I have a Dlink router and this thing keeps losing connection with it. The router is on the 1st floor, this adapter is on the 2nd floor, but the direct distance is only about 20 feet. My other adapters work better. When plugged in, it works very quickly, but CONSTANTLY drops out. I called dlink support when I first installed it and they made me disable all other adapters, which helped but still didn't fix the issue. I also uninstalled the dlink software as recommended on this page. When it crashes so violently, only the Windows WLAN manager remembers the password. The dlink software forgets every time, which makes reconnecting much more annoying. I have no idea what the problem is. What I do know is that my Onkyo adapter designed for my receiver is more reliable than this one.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
