mobilenvidia Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 no, i chose the folder manually the folder where the drivers are, and it keeps saying that they are up to date.if thats not the process what do i have to do to manually update them? i have the AR928X but it doesnt see my 5ghz wireless N network what can i do to see it? You particular AR928x may not support Dual band (2.4 and 5Ghz) only 2.4Ghz. The process you used above is right and it should install the newer version.

mobilenvidia Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 That can happen with Atheros drivers. I uninstalled (including ticking the delete files) till the find drivers found no more drivers (can take a few goes) Then rebooted and then installed the newer driver. Atheros driver installs can be a VERY hit and miss affair, spent countless hours trying drivers and all the antics that the cards put us through :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonelobo Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have installed the latest drivers for vista x64 (sp1), but when I connect to my wireless internet (speedtouch router), i can surf for about 20 sec and then vista stops working. I cant do anything else than reset my pc. Is this a driver conflict, or has this something to do with vista (maybe wrong settings?). The card I use is a Linksys wmp300n-v2.

mobilenvidia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Does it do the same with non modded driver ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonelobo Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Does it do the same with non modded driver ? Yes, its the same, even with the original drivers included whith the product (somthing like v7.3.xxx drivers) I had this bug. Its rather disapointing for a device that costs 90€ that it doesnt have good 64bit drivers, and more important good support. UPDATE: I have found the solution for my card, after uninstalling all wireless drivers off my system I have installed the Atheros v7.4.2.105 driver, and everything was ok :) Edited January 4, 2009 by Lonelobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quipacorn Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I've searched this thread and have not found anyone with the same issue, I have a Top link TL-WN861N which apparently uses the AR5008 chipset. Currently getting the NMI: Parity Check/Parity Memory error at every boot. I instlaled the latest driver for XP, which upon reboot worked fine for about 10seconds, then it gave me the error again. I've tried tweaking the settings to no avail. Can anyone offer any advice/solutions? The system it's being used in is a Compaq TC1000 Tablet with XP TPCE 2005, SP3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yogibear Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi. I have the SparkLAN W110N fitted in a Vaio vgn-n11m running XP sp2. I installed the driver version 7.6.1.184 and all appeared to be working fine. The only problem is i cannot get a connection speed above 130mbps. I am connected to an apple time capsule ( 1TB 802.11n ) locked into 5ghz and have set the atheros to 5ghz in the advanced settings but still ony 130mbps. On the odd occasion when i reset the radio and the card re-connects it will show a connection of 300mbps but only for a couple of seconds, it then disconnects and then reconnects at 130mbps again. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help Check your router is broadcasting in 40Mhz channel width, 20Mhz = 130Mbps, 40Mhz = 300Mbps Also make sure your main channel if using 2.4Ghz is either 1, 6 or 11 as these are the only non over lapping ones.

Guest yogibear Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Definately on 5ghz.... Got other devices that will only connect when set to 2.4ghz. There is no channel selection in 5ghz mode just auto on the time capsule. Incidentely i have another vaio that is dual band 802.11n and that one will only connect to the time capsule at max of 150mbps. I do beleive that is connecting at 5ghz on 802.11g to get that speed. Do you know of any successful connections at 300mbps using the WPEA-110N or a solution to my problem with the apple tc Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Do you know of any successful connections at 300mbps using the WPEA-110N or a solution to my problem with the apple tcCheers I think there were very recent apple airport updates to the wireless time capsule that address this.

Pawel Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) With the latest INF replacement, the Wireless Radio has stopped working. Had to go back to v1.19 :) I'll play around and see if I can figure out why this is happening.. EDIT: Ok, tried changing stuff but nothing made a difference, the Radio just fails to work and I cannot join 'any' network at all. My card is a 'D-Link DWA-547 RangeBooster N650 Desktop Adapter' just FYI. Edited January 15, 2009 by Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haabingaa Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I just want to thank you for the awesome driver. I had the NMI parity error, which was preventing me from running Vista for the longest time. This driver has worked flawlessly since i discovered it. I have the Gigabye GN-WI06N mini-PCIe card which I used to replace my Intel 3945ABG card. I'm now running the Windows 7 Beta, and again using the same driver (I was having connection loss issues without it) and will be sure to mention any tricky problems I notice (if there are any, so far it's working great!). Again, Thank you. Edited January 23, 2009 by haabingaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 does this driver work for the 928x on the m50vm? and if so, which of your many would be the best one in my situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberB Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey, I'm new on this site and this is my first post. I've been having a problem with my Atheros card (AR928X) because it's always quite weak at receiving signals, I was using the drivers from the other pinned thread, then I switched to the modded drivers here (I'm guessing the other drivers at http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=14833 aren't modded?). Version 7.6.1.162 to be precise and suddenly I was getting 4-5 bars of signal strength from my previous 1-2. My router is a WRT54G v7 and I don't think that is the problem because the other computers (using intel wireless cards) can get a very good signal and they are farther away than this laptop (which isn't even very far, I'd say about 20 meters from router). Anyway I've updated to the 7.6.1.204 in this thread and suddenly my signal strength has gone back down to 1-2 bars. Before I downgrade again, is there some setting that I can change to make it 4-5 bars again? I have not touched any settings in any driver installation, it just seems like the previous 7.6.1.162 version works a lot better, at least without any setting adjustment.

mobilenvidia Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Your issue looks to be driver related, I have also noticed the modded INF will give better coverage. First noticed it at a friends place where about 10m away from router refused to connect due to poor signal. Installed modded INF and 5 bars. I've tried to enable everything in the modded INFs (all are basically the same setting wise) If a particular driver works then stick with it till a better one comes along. I had good success with 7.6.1.111 I now use the Ralink based card, which is much more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberB Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Do you mean the 7.6.1.111 in the other thread? Because there isn't a download link for one in this thread. Also, does the other thread (http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=14833) have a modded inf as well? Because I was under the impression that it was a generic driver from Atheros because windows could update it via windows update, and it had a WHQL digital signature while these ones don't, and probably can't autoupdate.

mobilenvidia Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yes 7.6.1.111 is in the other thread, but I can make my self a modded INF at anytime. You can just grab the modded INF and put it in any driver (replacing original) driver version will be reported wrong in Device manager but the actual driver will what ever you install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
