Go to device manager, open the device's properties, and under Details, Hardware ID's, paste us the output.

Thanks Kymmy, now for me to try figure out why it will only connect to my DLINK 615(DD-WRT) when the dlink is on NG-Mixed (connects on G) but if I put it on N-Only windows 7 can see the SSID but will not connect.

Update or rollback the drivers, last time I had that problem it was the driver had got corrupted...worth a try

[funkyCable]

would you mind helping me with this? I downloaded the driver and fiddled with dd-wrt settings. I can connect to it in N mode if the router is running in N-Only mode if I run it in NG-Mixed windows connects to the routers in G-mode.

[Kymmy]

Can you set the card to N mode only? (sorry I've never had one of those cards)

That's a Ralink based card of the same class and generation chipset as the DIR-615 so should (in theory!) work perfectly.

Try using the generic Ralink drivers here:

Grrr....strangely I managed to get all my devices a mixture of G and N) to connect to the router with dd-wrt set to N-Only with 802.11n Transmission Mode set to Mixed.

However my work laptop does not want to connect. Its A Dell Latitude D630 which is using XP. XP finds the wifi and even asks for the passkey but it will not connect or accept. I tried creating a virtual interface that uses a different security/encryption setting but that didnt work. I tried it without any security/encryption.

I have my old Safecom router which I trying to replace but because of my work laptop not working with the dlink is there any way I could use the Safecom to pass my work traffic to the dlink?

What's the encryption set to?

WPA2 - AES or No encryption is needed to get the N data rates if everything is following the standards properly.

Of course I wouldn't recommend the No encryption option.

WMM enabled, seems to be another option often said to be needed for full speed.
