I have been having alot of trouble getting help with this, and I have so far tried two USB Wireless Adapters. Whenever I check Amazon or PC World for ideas, I see PC World is stocked with Netgear who I won't touch again and Belkin (heard lots of horror stories).
I need a wireless adapter for Vista Home Premium 32bit that works with a BTVOYAGER2091-31 with no drop outs, overheating or tantrums - especially when downloading or playing online games.
I bought the Netgear USB Adapter off Ebuyer and it was complete rubbish.
So I am currently using a D-Link NWA-140 from PC World which says it is Vista compatible and Wireless N, but totally backwards compatible with my network. It certainly wasn't working well until I got updated drivers off Windows Update, which leave it all to Vita to monitor and maintain the connection.
Problem over I thought! But it seems to randomly drop out when stressed (overheating?) by games, downloads or for no reason even with an excellent signal. It doesn't do this very often, but I've had it at least once a day. Yesterday when I got it, after the restart that usually fixes it, it refused to work for a few hours apart from "Local Only".
So guys I am sure you can understand my frustrations at all this. Wireless Adapters of good quality seem few and far between, most of the best selling PCI cards on Amazon are designs from as far back as 2001, theres the odd horror story in the reviews and I don't know if USB Sticks are really suitable for desktop PCs?
The only thing I have heard recommended is the "Edimax" USB Wireless Adapters - but I am skeptical about trying ANOTHER USB wireless adapter.
I want to use my PC and internet without fear of it dropping out for no reason or overheating. I could do all these things on my old XP Home Machine (updated from ME) with a SiteCom PCI card.
Please help!
