Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 USB Adapter – False Network Detection?

Apr 17, 2013

I recently purchased a Linksys AE3000 Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Adapter as an upgrade to my Dell Desktop Computer and to compliment the Linksys EA4500 Router that I recently installed. Generally it seems to work well and the 2.4 GHz network status typically shows speed to be 450 Mbps. However, I’ve discovered if the computer goes to sleep based on my power plan, when it comes out of sleep the “Available Networks” will show the network I’m connected to (2.4 GHz network) and a false network identified as “Other Network” with a Red “X” where signal strength would normally be. When I mouse over it; it shows Network Name: Other Network; Signal Strength: Excellent; Security Type: Unsecured; Radio Type: Unknown; and SSID: Other Network.
 
Initially I thought this was an anomaly caused by having both bands of the Router (2.4 and 5.0 GHz) set to the same SSID, so I changed the 5.0 GHz band to a different SSID and set my Media Players to access the new SSID. However, now when the computer comes out of sleep mode, Available Networks will initially only show the Router’s 2.4 GHz SSID and the phantom “Other Network”. It takes a while before the Router’s 5.0 GHz SSID shows up. We live in the country, so there are no other networks close to us, just my home network. It never shows the “Other Network” when I start or restart the computer and if I disable the adapter and then enable it, the phantom network goes away until the computer goes into and out of sleep mode again. Also, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Driver and then reinstalled the Adapter using the Cisco Connect Software and the problem still exists. Finally, I disabled the Router’s 5.0 GHz network and the phantom network no longer appears under any conditions. The Dell (Atheros Communications) Wireless Card in the computer doesn’t have this issue under any scenario. On both the AE3000 and Atheros Adapters the 2.4 GHz network shows a signal strength of Excellent (5 out of 5 bars) and the 5 GHz network shows Good (3 out of 5 bars).
 
How to correct this issue? With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 Adapter Network Connection Failure

Feb 27, 2013

I just purchased 2 AE3000 adapters to update my wireless network and cannot get either of them to connect to my wireless network through either of two computers I tried. It hangs for a while looking for address and then I get the 'limited or no connection' note. But yet when I plug in my old AE1000 adapter into either computer I get connected right away. I've looked under the device manager and it shows up there, the LED lights come on and I see my wireless network show up on available networks. I am using the windows wireless manager in lieu of the Linksys one and as such I don't think any specific drivers are being used. I bought two updated adapters to start with is to keep current and NOT have problems.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 Will Not Connect?

Sep 9, 2012

I picked up a AE3000 for an older laptop, but it will not connect to any network. It is on an older (01') dell laptop running XP SP3.   I have tried using the disk and downloading the latest drivers on-line but no luck. It picks up all the networks around me and mine, but it says trying to connect and just can't. I tried it on another laptop and everything works fine. Is there an issue with this adapter and the original USB ports or XP in general? I have checked and rechecked the passcodes, I have deleted all of the profiles and started from the beginning again. I removed my anti-virus program as well as the last effort. Nothing I do seems to make a difference though.This is just used to access the internet on a laptop that is dedicated to a telescope.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 Lag Spikes / Disconnects

Aug 8, 2012

I bought a the AE3000 wireless adapter because I got a new DPC3925 modem/router and its signal is really weak. When I play games, it lags/disconnects for a second or two then resumes. Plus it also screws up my wireless mouse at times. I changed my wireless adapter back to my old high gain G adapter and everything seems fine.

Error description: Invalid key Manual
Model name: AE3000
Operating system: Windows 7 SP 1

The password I had from my connection is correct. I checked it about 3 times, and it keeps on saying it is wrong? Does this mean I have to reset my router?

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: Ae3000 - No Wifi Manager

Jun 6, 2012

Recently upgraded home router to Linksys EA3500 and a AE3000 Adapter for my laptop. Laptop is Dell Inspiron 1705 (yeah, it's old) running XP SP3. the adapter's drivers installed properly from the supplied CD as it negotiates and connects with the new router. However, there is NO Linksys Wireless Manager. It appears it was not installed at all. I can find no folder in Program Files named either Cisco or Linksys nor anything new in the Programs list. Is there a Linksys Wireless Manager included on the CD that should have installed?
 
Can I download it separately and install?I've disabled the built-in Dell wi-fi radio with came with an Intel ProSet wireless manager. Would REALLY like to have a new wireless manager that works well with the new adapter. Am going on vacation tomorrow and will have to deal with new and different access points, hotels, etc.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: How To Select Operating Channel On AE3000

Jul 18, 2012

I have an AE3000 dual band wireless adapter using the Win 7 Pro OS.  At work our routers all use the same SSID, but utilize different channels.  In terms of signal strength, the strongest signal is usually, but not always, one of the channels on the 2.4GHZ band (usually 11).  However, in terms of speed of connection and lack of overcrowding, the best signal is invariably one the channels on the 5GHZ band (usually 161).  My AE3000 will inevitably connect to the strongest signal (channel 11) even though it only slightly stronger than the signal on channel 161 and furnishes a much slower connection than that obtainable on channel 161.  Is there any way I can "force" the AE3000 to connect via channel 161 rather than channel 11?

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 Working But Shows Same Signal Strength

Jul 26, 2012

I have a E2500 router and just got this AE3000 adapter.  Thought that would bump up the wireless signal for using my laptop at the other end of the house about 75 feet from the router.  The new E2500 Wireless N has been a big improvement.  The AE3000 installed perfectly and shows up as working properly.  It's just that the signal strength on my laptop shows 2 bars and the signal strength for the adapter shows 2 bars.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: AE3000 High Ping / Jitter - Websites Slow To Load

Aug 16, 2012

I purchased the AE3000 Wireless Adapter for my PC, and has been working fine until now. When I first start my PC, my ping starts anywhere between 20-80, then after I try to access anything on the internet it shoots up between 600-1200. It just started happening about 3 days ago, but now it has gotten worse. I can't play any online games, and websites are slow to load.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB600N Network Adapter / Lost CD's?

Jan 18, 2011

I am trying to connect to the internet a second, older tower using the WUSB600N ver 2 adapter, the unfortunate part is that I have lost my CD's that originally came with the adapter. I am on my primary machine right now so I am able to get online. I am wondering if there is a way that I can get the proper drivers or software, put them on a USB drive and then put them on the computer that I am trying to connect?I have already tried this, but I cannot seem to get the steps right or I don't necessarily know what I am doing. I am at the Linksys support Page [URL] and I have tried to do as I mentioned before, but I am sort of just expecting it to GO and its not working. The computer i would like to make the WUSB600N adapter for is running windows XP pro Service Pack 3?

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WMP600n PCi Adapter Does Not Reconnect

Jan 20, 2012

I have a Linksys wireless WMP600n PCi adapter installed in my desktop PC and after recovering from standby, it does not automatically reconnect.  I have to right-click on the Wireless Networks icon in the system tray then select "Repair".  I would say it does this 9 times out of 10 (1 time in 10 I seem to luck out and it restores the connection automatically).
 
I have an Asus M4A88TD-M motherboard with 1 Gb of DDR3 RAM and I am running Windows XP Home Edition (SP3).  There is only one PCi slot on this motherboard.  Also, I am not using the wireless network software that shipped with the product but rather the native wireless networks application software that shipped with Windows XP.  I have had this problem with the original driver that shipped with the product CD and the problem persists with the latest driver.  I have not enabled Hibernation and there are no active power saving modes on the PC.I have reviewed all of the options in the Wireless 600n Properties/Advanced tab and have enabled the Continuously Awake Mode and disabled the Power Saving Mode but  the problem persists.
 
I have two other PCs with the older Linksys wireless WMP300n PCi adapters and they do not exhibit this behaviour after recovering from standby - they reliably reconnect.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: How To Install WUSB600N Adapter With Windows 7

Nov 8, 2009

I am running Windows 7 with the WUSB600N (v.2). Here is how I got it to work.The driver support is not a .exe. You will have to install it yourself...but it's not a big deal.Download the Windows 7 driver for your OS version from the Linksys Support page.Save it to the desktop and then unzip it to the desktop so you can find it easier.Once unzipped you will see 3 folders:  Mac, Win7 32 and Win7 64. Choose accordingly.What I did was install it through the "Device Manager". (Right click "My Computer", choose "Manage", then Device Manager",or use the "Search Bar under the Start Menu...whatever. Once you are in the Device Manager...
 
1. Make sure your WUSB600N is inserted in your computer.
 
2. Navigate down to "Network Adapters" If you see your WUSB600N adapter...great! Your halfway home!
 
3. Right click on the "Linksys WUSB600N Adapter.
 
4. Choose the option to " Update Driver Software"
 
5. Choose "Browse My Computer for Software"
 
6. Navigate to the desktop and choose the folder  that contains the name of your Windows 7 platform.
 
7. It should update but, HOLD ON! We are not done yet!!!
 
In order for it to start transmitting in that shiny new 5GHZ band, you must go into "Network and Sharing Center". Once there, look on the left hand side of the main window and you will see "Change adapter settings"Go there. You should see here that your existing adapter is still working (enabled) and your new Linksys WUSB600N has a big fat red "X" under it (disabled).Right click on your  existing adapter and choose, "DISABLE".Then, right click on the WUSB600N adapter and choose "ENABLE".The last thing you should have to do is choose the network you want to connect to (for me it was the 5GHZ one) ..and Viola!!

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB54GSC Adapter Dropping Net Connection

Feb 23, 2011

I'm using the WUSB54GSC on a IBM Desktop computer, not old, but not new by any means.  We have wireless internet through Comcast, and my room is on the second floor.  The router is on the first floor, but it's almost just underneath my room.  The internet seems to connect completely fine, but it will disconnect at some things.  For example, when I tried to go to mapquest, it was like it was flooding, and it dropped the internet connection.  I also play games online, and when I play the actual game itself (GTAA/Online) it plays just fine, no lag, nothing like that, but when I try to connect to Teamspeak, when it's loading the channels after it connects, it just drops the connection..

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WPC54G V1.2 Adapter Continuously (inactive) With Windows 98?

Dec 20, 2008

I've spent several hours of my life trying to rectify this silly problem without peace.  Maybe one of you can enlighten me. I've got a Win98 laptop and have loaded the driver specified from the Linksys website.  The software from the website under "Version 1" downloads a file entitled "...driver utility v3.1."  I've installed and uninstalled it 3 times with restarts inbetween.  Each time Device Mngr shows it is installed correctly but the "inactive" status persists. I get a "Power" light indicator but never the "Link" indicator on the adapter.  I do not have a firewall or any other software that would interfere with the access point I have at my home (which works just fine with my Vista laptop).  Furthermore, the wireless router is not secured either, so it is wide open and broadcasting.  But as I said, the adaptor isn't even showing as "active" so all that stuff is moot I guess. I can not upgrade the laptop to another OS, it is an antique from 1999 and can't cut the mustard with the RAM and processor speed it has.  Besides, it should work just fine with Win98 anyway.

Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB600N Won't Detect Adapter But Computer Is Still Detected

Mar 24, 2011

I recently upgraded my computer (not laptop) from Windows XP to Windows 7-32 bit. I redownloaded and installed Network Magic, Linksys Wireless Manager and my WUSB600N adapter properly (I hope). Now everything was working fine, I was able to get onto my network through the adapter but today I noticed that the Linksys Wireless Manager seemed to not connect to my network, instead my computer some how did it without  the wireless manager. Now when I tried to connect to a network through the Wireless Manager it said Error: 211 and said My Adapter may not be installed properly and told me to remove the adapter and attach it back after 20 seconds. I tried that but again my computer connected to the network STILL through the computers own manager not through the Linksys Wireless Manager. That was still saying Error 211. So the problem really is that the Linksys Wireless Manager wont detect my adapter but my computer is still able to detect it and connect to my network.

Suddenly, it's started loosing the connection to the Linksys router and locking up my computer so only a hard re-boot power-down will work.When it comes back up, some or all of my cookies are lost.
 
I've run several different security packages but no virus or other issues have been found.I've uninstalled the adapter and reinstalled it.Last time, following something I read on this site, I installed it without the Linksys software, just the drivers.
