    Why is N mode resetting the adapter?


    Every N mode configuration I set my router to work on will make my adapter reset. I've tried B mode only, G mode only and B + G mode only for 24 hours each without a problem from my adapter but everything with N mode such as G + N, B + G + N and N only will make my adapter do a reset cycle. The adapter cycle will Enable, Connect, Power off, Disable, Enable, Disconnect, Connect, Power off. If I leave the adapter disconnected it doesn't power off at all and I can bridge G + G modes with my PCI wifi card without many disconnect problems for 2/3rds of the N speed. It's completely bizarre.

    Sounds like a bad adapter or failing router.

    If the router only has b g and n it's very old get a new AC router it's like a 286 pc running old router

    Probably a good idea. At least I can bridge it on G after running it on N for six months through a USB 3.0.

    Does anyone ever use SS USB? It seems to be running the adapters good even on bridge with a B+G only card. Strange I had Hi-Speed USB and Full Speed USB but it seems to like Super Sayin USB?

    Why would you bridge old school wifi channels unless you have a long distance to cover and only for certain devices not for the web.

    Why do people always issue uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power" when computer never turns off any device to save power? Lol P-state challenges :)

    Here's another solution that's working better than resets in 5 minutes or less. Change bandwidth to 20 MHZ and shut down QoS Support option.
