Question Network Adapter

[Laughskate]

My wifi adapter has been giving me some issues. Occasionally when I startup my computer the usb adapter does not work. It only works after I unplug and replug it. When I check the driver for the adapter in device manager it has a yellow exclamation mark. It goes away when I unplug and replug. Can someone help me?

What wifi adapter do you have?

It's an ourlink 300mpbs without an antenna. Here is where I bought it from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/OURLiNK-Wi...601622&hash=item4d9d9f9de1:g:i9wAAOSwaOFdn6go

Have you downloaded the drivers from the website?

 

[Laughskate]

It comes with the adapter. I installed them once but they also had the same glitch. And the menu for the adapter was also glitching out insanely.

The disks are usually outdated...

Download and install the latest and most up to date driver for your adapter.

The same issue also happened but ok. Can you send me a link to install?

@Jay_dog I pressed show hidden devices and found something very interesting. I saw that there were 3 of the same drivers. Do you think that was the problem?

No that should be fine that doesn't mean there's multiples of the same driver. I will post the link for the driver a little later.

Or just google unifi wifi drivers and head to the manufactures page.

Alright since its night time for me we will have to continue this later. Thanks for your help.

 

[Mooons]

No problem.

I found an issue. There are 2 drivers and this only happens when connecting to the internet. Sometimes when I startup my pc my network adapter connects to the second driver. And when that happens the glitch happens. When I unplug and replug it connects to the first driver and acts normal again.

 

[Mooons]

Were you able to fix it?

 

[Laughskate]

No and new drivers still have the issue.

 

[Mooons]

You can try getting a well known USB adapter like TPLink or something and you probably wont have these issues.

 

[Laughskate]

No way to fix eh?

I don't think so. I believe its just the adapter itself. You get what you pay for.

Well its not too major anyways thanks for helping
