Hello,
My computer came with a built in (i think) Ralink 802.11N wireless LAN card, and it has been absolutely terrible in my new home. I work from home, so I need my internet connection to be flawless, so I went ahead and uninstalled the Ralink, by following directions I found on some instructional forum. I then went to Target and bought a Linksys AE6000 to pair up with my Linksys router. I went home and installed the device without a problem, and instantly my problems seemed to be fixed. Full bars, and after a speed test it was thru the roof good, compared to the Ralink. I was in heaven for all of about 20 minutes. I went to download an update for a video game that I play via STEAM, and it just wouldn't allow me to do it. After an hour or so of trying different things, I came to the point where I wanted to just uninstall steam, and reinstall, hoping it would work. So I uninstalled STEAM, and when I try to reinstall it, it seems fine, until I get to the updating the STEAM network phase. It's a 110k KB download, and when it gets to 30k it starts going backwards. After I read some stuff online about the issue, I looked up my STEAM logs, and noticed where it was saying things wernt working out. Below this long winded story are those logs.
So I decided to just restart my computer for the hell of it. When It turned back on, the Ralink wireless card re-downloaded itself, all by itself, without an option for me to cancel the download, and now im just stuck at this point. I'm not very versed in this field, so I'm just lost as what to do now. Nothing seems to completely get the Ralink device off of my computer, and my only thought to what would be causing these download issues would be that the two devices are interfering with each other. I'm currently linked to the Linksys card, because its my only way of getting internet service, as the Ralink doesnt even remotely carry a useable signal.
Sorry for the overly long read, I will highly appreciate any advice given.
Thanks -- Adam
