Depends on your definition of "compatible" I suppose.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Well I'd say "designed to work on" but then you'd argue what's your definition of designed and work...

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Nah, just that I don't always trust the WHQL certificate to mean much of anything these days. Certainly drivers are better than they were before, but by golly they sure can still **** up spectacularly on occasion.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Yes they can and frequently do. Still doesn't change the original point though. A WHQL certificate prevents you accidentally installing a non-Windows 8 driver on Windows 8.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

True, but my point was that a WHQL doesn't always ensure actual compatibility, just intended compatibility.

That is to say, it'll be compatible with the OS, but not necessarily the hardware itself.

Again, depends on your definition of "compatible" I suppose

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

order LB Link adapter 300Mb with external antenna
still have the same problem still at 54Mbps.

if i change the below will it help?
security type:- WPA-Personal
Encryprtion type:- TKIP
Network security key:-

or maybe i got 2 user account on the same computer ?

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

dear dear dear. You need to change your security settings to WPA2 Personal with AES. It isn't going to improve your throughput but it will defo make your connection more secure. It doesnt matter how many user accounts you have on your pc. The only time it would make a difference is if multiple users were logged on simultaneously with enough apps and proccesses running that it would impact the performance of your pc. Unless you have got an super sweet NIC, your cpu is still going to look after your networking stuff.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Your network is set to TKIP? Well that's your problem. TKIP disables 802.11n.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Encryprtion type:- TKIP i change it to AES. gone from 54Mbps to 150Mbps.
General Maximus your genius but one problem still not 300Mbps.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

I'd say going from 54Mbps to 300Mbps will improve his throughput.

Remember that 802.11n (well, technically, >54Mbps data rates) are only available with AES and are intentionally disabled with TKIP.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

I thought you was winding him up but I have just checked it and it is true. The stupid thing is that I have done some networking and security certifications and I hae never come across it.

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

few days ago i ring Virgin Media to downgrade my broadband from 100 to 50 because my adapter was messed up.
now i get download speed over 50.
if i upgrade to 100Mb download should at least get 98. adapter at 150Mbps

going to try changing the drivers tomorrow see if i can get to 300Mbps

Re: Virgin Media WNDA3200 wireless adapter
 

Try this:

On the Shub2 wireless settings, set 2.4Ghz mode to 144Mbs and 5Ghz mode to 450Mbps. Turn Greenfield off on both. Set the 5Ghz channel to 'Auto Compatibility' and the 2.4Ghz channel to the clearest in your area. You will get full 300meg when close on 5Ghz and the best practical speed at range via 2.4Ghz.

windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

B-Link RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter

The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for the driver software.

can't install the new lastest driver 2014-03-05.

the adapter made in china ? and drivers might be made China aswell?
anyone know why i can't install the drivers ?
