Hello, Everybody

I know this does not go here but i need some help with a problem i have been working on I have a D-link 655 Wireless NRouter and the D-link Dwa-552 Wireless N card Pci. I have this problem i put the driver's they came with and other driver's from linksys it was working it like makes my computer skip. the music gets chippy and goes back to nomal and does it over and over. and sometimes it dont do it. it like slows my computer down. and if you guys know about router's which i know alot of you do. ok i get connected to the router and the singal is good. now here is the problem it will show my wireless info on the router and TX dropped we'll there is like %60 error's and like %10 dropped TX. which means i dont know where the error's if its the router or the wireless card. i have tired 6 router's and everything and the only choice i had was wireless N because wireless G and alot of ppl living around me have wireless G. so i would get dc'ed every 20 minutes sometime it would stay longer. there is 70 from my computer and the router there is 3 thin walls not steel or anything like that. someone did say get a router with A+G that does 2.4ghz/5ghz and a card that is A+G 2.4/5ghz.


I just am tired of having so many problems i spent $300 on this set and it's like i just cant get it to work to save my life. and my job is online. i get paid to level toon's on wow. and its just i am tired of trying everything and it not working. i am about the hell with computer and everything. because this has gave me nothing but problem's

so if any of you guys could help me. i would b very great full if i really have to i will pay someone to help me. i just want it to work. and work like its made to.


so if anybody could help me i would be very Thank full

Thanks
Brian



Here is a update. I took the D-link POS back to the store picked up the linksys wireless N card and Wireless N router and it works awesome i get very good single and my computer does not lag. i played cod2 for 8 hours today non-stop and it worked! did not lag kick me off or anything. so if you are looking to get the wireless N stuff get linksys becasue they have made a awesome N line of router's now if you get the router dotn install the software with because thats where the problems are coming from! and with the wireless card, Just install the drivers only. and they will work awesome from 70 feet away 3 walls and the cell and wireless phones by it does not effect it at all. because it is running at 2.4ghz/5ghz i get 170mbps 170/8=21.25 in real mbps so if you have a 7mb 10mb like we do in Toledo,
It will work awesome and this is going from my grandfather house to my house.

Early adopters of draft systems usually only have issues with their own equipment... Wifi draft n, on the other hand tends to overpower many other wireless classes. Including your G'Pa's phone.

This class of equipment should have never been allowed to release to market until they overcame the design issues. So you ARE the problem.

Yes I could, (and the list of links would run to 100's of pages...) but just google "ieee 802.11n". Draft 2 has just gone up for review, and approval is still in the future. Any hardware that is running in draft 1 specs is... How do I say this politely? A bleeding frequency hog. It doesn't stay in freq. specs, doesn't stay in power envelopes, and tends to 'swamp' any other rf signals in its radiation pattern.

This is the worst debacle in the history of WIFI.... Hopefully WiMax won't have the same teething issues.

As I said previously, these products should never have been let into the wild. They have progation fields that are all over the place.

As to your Pa, as i said earlier we'd likely have stories to tell. As Snuffy Smith would've said, "'Nuff said!".

we'll Thanks jack for trying to help but i did alot of reading sense i had the thing and people had better luck with linksys because of the hcipset they use they use boardcom or some name like that and d-link use's a chip called A something lol. i guess they have alot of problems with them

we'll here is why because d-link use's Atheros WiSOC based Hardware

We'll linksys use's Broadcom based hardware so this is better by far.

I guess linksys will make a Atheros WiSOC hardware for the WRT300N V.2

We'll the WRT300N v.1 use's Broadcom hardware.

Yes i learned the differnet chip set's of the router's but i have learned alot in 2 mouths lol, But i will say this Linksys is on a roll With wireless N right now they have the best software out for the pci wireless N card's and the router's. but if
anybody gets linksys go to link's website and d/l the new drives for the N card it makes a big differnce plus this like the flag ship of the router's its not a bad price. $139.99 and the card was $99 at bestbuy. but it's worth the money had a few problems at get go but i fixed them.

Now jack if you read this again, Maybe you could help me with the differnce bewteen the 20mhz channel and the 40mhz wide channel. I dont knwo what they are. lol 8O but i do know that it is on like 2.4ghz+2=5ghz i belive unless i am wrong but i am trying to find out maybe you could help me and thanks for everybody helps by the way very great full
