Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem I need some help with. I recently upgraded our home wireless router to a D-LINK DIR615. Everything worked just fine for the past 30 days or so.
About three weeks ago I bought some cheap Wireless-N USB adapters so that all wireless connections would be 802.11n and wouldn't be mixed. All worked fine up until the past few days.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on all computers (except one, which has a wired connection, is running XP). On the two computers with the "Tenda W311U" USB Adapter, I see my network available to choose from, but when it tries to connect, it hangs up for a while then eventually will say "Limited Access" or "Network Access Only" something along those lines. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 tries will get me connected. It seems if I restart the PC, it helps, but that may just be luck
I've tried re-enabling my built-in 802.11g on my laptop and I'm getting the same errors. So, is this a router issue...?
Any idea why it would have worked just fine for the past month and now all of a sudden it's causing problems? Do you think the fact that I bought these cheap, no name USB adapters had anything to do with it (i.e., did I get what I paid for ).
Thanks,
Steve
