RE: [Simply Computers] USB WIFI Problem

 

In my own experience and in the case of my daughter, USB wifi has been an
iffy proposition. Works sometimes and other times it doesn't.

I bought a Linksys (Cisco) PCI wireless card. Works great.

Subject: [Simply Computers] USB WIFI Problem

Hi,

My desktop computer does not have internal WIFI. So, when my new
router/modem with WIFI was installed it had to be in the room next door so
that it was installed into the primary telephone point and not an extension.

So, I had to buy a USB WIFI stick. Distance is not a problem as the computer
is literally on the other side of the wall from the modem but I frequently
get the message that a USB device has stopped working. This always refers to
the USB WIFI. Rebooting cures the problem. I have tried different USB
sockets with no change.

This never happens with my laptop which has integral WIFI. So, I am assuming
that it is a known problem with USB WIFI.

Is there a solution? My computer is HP Compaq Pressario new last August with
Windows 7. Would it be possible to install an internal WIFI and would this
be likely to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Chris
