Wireless N Nano Adapter Driver
Gaja Starks
Background:The rt3090 is working under lubuntu 13.04, but it has connection losses.I already tried different solutions, also compiling the driver myself, but nothing worked how it should. I don't want to hack my way to get wlan working anymore and bought the stick.My router is wireless n draft capable and other devices are working pretty fine with it - windows machines and android smartphones.
The stick is delivered with a driver cd for several platforms. There's also a linux driver.But the driver is a single file called '2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO'.How do I install it?Just put it under lib/firmware?Can anyone help me?
You will never get this old package, circa 2011, to compile properly on Ubuntu 13.04. If you want to try a newer, not older, driver, I suggest this: -drivers-3.8.2-2-su.tar.bz2 Obtain this package and download it to your desktop. Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.' Now open a terminal and, with an internet connection, do:
EW-7811Un is a nano USB wireless adapter that supports maximum range and speed. Despite the size, this tiny USB adapter supports higher data rate of up to 150Mbps when connecting with wireless 802.11n device which is 3 times faster than your normally 11g connection. You can just plug it into computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access. This is for sure the trendiest piece of upgrade you can make to your wireless network.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. This wireless USB adapter supports software WPS-compatible configuration. By pressing 2 buttons, your wireless network is immediately secured providing your wireless router will also support this great easy function.
EW-7811Un is currently the smallest wireless adapter. The compact design of EW-7811Un is convenient to carry for all mobile users. It also means you will not be able to accidentally snap your USB adapter anymore as it is hidden very well once it is plugged into the USB port.
The package comes with a mini-CD which won't work with slot-loading CD-ROM drive (like most of the Apple computers), tray-loading CD-ROM without a smaller well, or tray-loading CD-ROM installed in vertical position. Users may need to download the materials (driver, user's manual, etc.) from Edimax website.
- I did try the 2 adjacent ones (at the back) at first, but today when I plugged it in the front slot, it can detect the 5Ghz, but then cannot connect to it ("Verifying and connecting" then could not connect)
While there are some customer has a similar issue( can't detect 5Ghz wifi or can't connect to it), we did research before, there are so many factors cause the issue, in different situations, the solution is different.
So looks like the USB Wifi adaptar is compatible with my old laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 1, already has built-in wireless LAN) but not with my new desktop (Dell OptiPlex 3070, without wireless LAN)...
Glad to know you can connect to the 5G wifi now. For the speed issue, you can try to customize the wireless settings of the main router, like the wireless channel and channel width. For 2.4GHz, use channel 1, 6 or 11, channel width as 40MHz; for 5GHz, use channel 36, 40 or 44, channel width as 80MHz. Then test the speed again.
If the speed is still slow, with your computer connected to the wifi, please click here to verify the wireless negotiation speed and send us a picture. Besides, please also refer to the instruction below to check the driver version and system info.
@Stella.QHello, I have the same problem with the 5G network, after updating Windows 10, I stop showing me the network, I tried to do everything they have put here and I have not managed to find the solution, what can I do?
Recently I decided to use a usb wifi adapter to add another radio device to my router. And the one I have is a Ralink RT5370. So the first thing I need to do is to figure out how to install the driver for the new hardware. After a quick google, I found out that
are the commands that I should probably go for. Though the same commands are popping up everywhere on the internet, all of them are from someone's blog post or forum post. So I felt like it's pretty random, and wondered if there are any systematical way to tell me which driver I should install. I tried to search on the both the ralink and openwrt website, but got no luck.
So are there really some "conventional way" to decide which driver I should use for a new hardware? (aka what keyword should I add to after opkg install ?) I really feel like trying to get this kind of information from someone's blog post seems weird, how did they get the information at the first place?
I have an Archer T2U Nano and I am limited to 150Mbps on it. I am on a 5Ghz connection, so it should be 433Mbps as per the advertised capability of the device. This is the output of the command "netsh wlan show interfaces" on my PC:
On my laptop which has an Intel AC9260, I can see that the command output shows 300Mbps instead of 150Mbps and the resulting connection is much faster than the one I get on my desktop with this adapter.
Just signed up to say thank you, this was the fix for me! Was only getting around 20Mbps download with the T2U Nano v1, now I'm getting 110Mbps download on my network. I was trying all sorts to try troubleshooting (different USB ports, chipset drivers, checking BIOS settings), but lo and behold that driver was the fix! Not sure why the driver listed on the support page for the T2U Nano v1 does not work properly for me, but that driver you linked is the real deal! Cheers!
Currently have a brand new PC, with a Intel Dual-band Wireless-AC 3168. Initially it could barely detect my router so i moved my Router from the basement to upstairs. The PC detects the router but the connection is very weak. My phone and other devices are connected to the router just fine. On all levels of the house. Restarted router, updated drivers,restarted the computer and the connection is still slow. HelP!
I should point out that the wireless network I was connecting to only had a 5 GHz frequency. Ie it did not have a 2.4 GHz alternate option. Which implies that the WiFi driver could see the 5 GHz network but tried (and failed) to connect using 2.4 GHz. When I tweaked the second setting, I explicitly told it to connect over 5 GHz and it worked.
