I have tweaked some settings on Windows but not all of them. I have changed WiFi adapters twice and it still happens to each one. So far I have used my PC on 3 different networks and it disconnects at the same intervals on all of them. It averages a disconnect about every 10 minutes.
It occurs more frequently when I am using a lot of bandwidth such as YouTube streaming, downloading files etc. This is a lousy site, but you can download drivers, if you can determine which one you need.The main problem I am having is my internet connection disconnects randomly whenever I am online. The tiny user manual supplied does not mention Linux or Mac. If you want plug and play, this is not for you. I am starting with the wikipedia article on MAKE (Software). I am no bithead, but I un-tarred the file and opened the readme, which seems to give some reasonable instructions on how to MAKE the driver from the source code files provided. I guess this means this is a Ralink rt3070 chipset, using the rt2870 driver?įor Linux, on the supplied driver disk is fileĭPO_RT3X7X_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.4_2.
In device manager the driver is listed as rt2870.sys version "3." by Ralink Technology, and shows two hardware ids: USB\Vid_148f&Pid_3070&REV_0101 and USB\Vid_148f&Pid_3070 I had to run the install program from the disk - Windows did not automatically detect and install. To test, I installed it in a Windows Vista machine. No "plug and play" as reported in Amazon reviews. I hope this answers some questions and saves some heartache. I purchased the Panda Wifi (b/g/n) 150Mbps Wireless-N (802.11n) USB Adapter from Amazon this week. Right after I set the response email, I got the unit to work, so I can't tell you anything more about the support, but FYI the lsusb returned - Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. Before got the unit working, I sent them strongly worded email and got a prompt and professional response asking for basic troubleshooting information (is the led blinking, run lsusb and ifconfig and forward output to support. This seems to indicate that this unit is plug and play.Ģ) As part of the Amazon sale, I received and email from Panda with an email address for tech support. Two things:ġ) I tried the Panda again this morning, and it works fine.
