![]() ![]() That's where most of the congestion is in my local area. I had this problem with it not seeing my router's 5Ghz signal if it was lower than channel 149 or over channel 54/55. The problem with the USB-N53 is that it doesn't support MOST of the 5Ghz spectrum that we are allowed to use for our channels! Even with the newest Mediatek drivers. ![]() Is there any way we leave this thread open? I installed the To update everyone - The mediatek driver didn't work either. My router is an ASUS RT-66U and works fine, I can see the 5 Ghz from my iPad. This USB network card should be capable of receiving both 2.4 and 5 Ghz but it only sees the 2.4 Ghz. I then downloaded the drivers for Win XP, Win 7 and 8 from ASUS website but that didn't help either. It's ASUS N53 and came with a driver, installed that driver but the adapter still couldn't see the 5 Ghz network. Let me explain the situation again, I have an older XP laptop so had to purchase one of those USB adapters. So, what I think is happening - your laptop with WinXP is just too old, and its wireless adapter does not support 5Ghz band. But 5GHz band is usable only on computers and phones supporting it, of course. I have this router at home, and have no problems with either 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands. You need driver for the wireless card in your laptop Asus website cannot give you driver for the router. The thing with 5Gz is that its not good for long range, if you have a big house you should set it to 2.4Ghz there is something which I cannot understand. The thing with 5Gz is that its not good for long range, if you have a big house you should set it to 2.4Ghz band.įor the second question, its really up to trial and error, try both ways and which ever one gives the best connection is the one you should set it to. I experienced some issue with my 5Ghz connection on the iPad.ġ) Are we supposed to install the driver from the CD that the router comes with or just do a Genie style (via the browser) quick setup should suffice?Ģ) Are we supposed to move the antennas to the 90 and 45 direction so that 5Ghz never drops?įor the first question, its best to get the driver from the manufacturers site since they have the latest driver, CD driver are usually out dated.įor the second question, its really up to trial and error, try both ways and which ever one gives the best connection is the one you should set it to. ![]() Although the adapter cannot detect the 5 Ghz network but the speed is almost the same as the 5 Ghz network if it makes any sense!īy the way, I also upgraded the modem (got a Motorola 6141) and the router (bought an ASUS N66U) so that I can enjoy the full speed of my Comcast blast 105 plan. I have that USB adapter attached to my old laptop at home. Thanks, I will try that this afternoon after I got home and report back. ![]()
