I desperately need your help, folks - thanks!
#Medialink wireless n usb adapter driver download download#
So my general question is: Why am I getting such ridiculously slow download rates with both of these Wireless-N USB adapters while at the same time the 802.11g laptop gets vastly faster download rates?ĭoes it have something to do with 802.11g versus n (which I thought was supposed to be faster)? Or is there something else that's behind this very strange situation? I then downloaded and ran TCPOptimizer and followed the suggested basic instructions, but the terrible download rates remain unchanged. Afterward I reset them to the factory defaults, which is where they are now. When I first discovered this problem, I tried to tweak many of the router's settings to improve performance, but the performance was unchanged (neither better nor worse). My router is a Linksys WRT160N Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router, hardware rev 1.0, with the latest firmware (Ver.1.02.11). (However, every once in a while I can get about 6-8 Mbps downloads on the wireless n adapters for several minutes before it drops back down to less than 1.) Note also that I tested them all in exactly the same position, 10 feet from the router, so it's not a radio or interference issue. I've tried the two of them on different desktop computers (with Intel motherboards that lack on-board networking) running 32-bit XP Pro/SP3 as well as the very same Dell laptop (after disabling the on-board wireless) under Win7 and I get pretty much the same weird results: Terrible download speeds (less than 1 Mbps) with excellent upload speeds.

They both produce virtually identical (and bizarre) results on all computers. Also, both of them support 802.11b & g (as well as n). Under XP Pro, I use Medialink's driver and software.īoth of the Wireless-N USB adapters are rated at 150Mbps maximum send/receive throughput. (2): Medialink MWN-USB150N Wireless N USB Adapter. For the intended use under XP Pro, I previously used IOGear's wireless software/driver, but have since switched to Realtek's (both latest driver and management software). (1): IOGear GWU625 Compact Wireless-N USB Adapter. The two different, recently purchased, Wireless "n" USB 2.0 adapters I own and have tried are: I use Win7's wireless zero config rather than any third-party (such as Dell's) software.

It's running 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Note that this only supports 802.11b & g (which I first learned when I set my wireless router to use "n only", whereupon the laptop could no longer connect).

The laptop is a Dell 1526, and its internal wireless adapter is a Dell 1390 WLAN (see specifications here: Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini Card specifications). Yet while my laptop's 802.11g wireless connection is awesome (24 Mbps dowloads, 9 Mbps uploads), the download speeds of two different manufacturer's 802.11n USB 2.0 adapters is mind-bogglingly awful, usually around only 0.5 to 0.8 Mbps (while strangely they both provide upload speeds of about 9 Mbps, just like the laptop). My wireless router is a Linksys WRT160N, which supports 802.11b, g, and n. The problem relates to truly terrible download speeds (with simultaneously excellent upload speeds!) using either of two different Wireless-N USB 2.0 adapters, even though the 802.11g connection to my laptop is outstanding and the wireless router seems to be working perfectly!? I'm a knowledgeable user myself, but this is beyond me. This is a truly bizarre wireless puzzler, so I came here to ask the experts.
