I got the same problem with my atheros ar928x on my asus X71SL and as a router I have a linksys wrt150n. The card works great, but only at 54 mbps and not above. So not at N speeds. I have another hp notebook with an external usb sweex wireless-N card and it connects with no problems at speeds over 270 mbps. What I also noticed there is no way to tweak the atheros card, you can't even set a speed at what it needs to connect or what channel. BTW I have the newest driver from the asus site and tried several others that I found on the internet that had some newer version numbers, but nothing helped. I also searched the linksys forum site and tried some suggestions they had over there to tweak the router, but also no luck.

I finally send a support request to asus, but I doubt the answer that still has to come will be of any help. Maybe one of you guys can help me Maurice. That is fast. There aren't any setting that is what I meant. The settings that are available in this driver and also others I tried are: 802.11b Preamble Value: Long and Short Network Address Value: Not present Receive buffers Value: 256 Scan Valid Interval Value: 60 Transmit Buffers Value: 256 So that is not much to play around with. The driver version is 7.6.0114, but I also tried 7.6.0.164, but then I had the same settings available and still no improvement.

Just got an Asus M50Vm-X1 with the Atheros AR928X Wifi. Atheros AR928X.No Wireless N. BTW I have the newest driver from the asus site and tried several. Select Qualcomm Atheros wireless driver for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

The 7.6.0.114 is official from asus the latest version. There is also not a wireless tool available where you can monitor the connection. The only thing is a wireless console where you can turn on and off the wireless. And thanks for the quick reply. Maurice EDIT: I forgot to tell I did try it the other way around and forced the router to N only, but then my card wouldn't connect at all.

Thanks for the fast replies I did check out www dot atheros dot cz and tried those drivers no luck. I will open my notebook tomorrow to see if all the antennas are connected. Then I will check out the drivers again and see if I can get it to work.

Because I have alot of my files on network drives the speed is a big deal for me. Install Solaris 10 On Solaris 11 Vm. I just don't understand that there are only so little options available in the drivers to tweak the atheros card. Maybe I also will get an answer from asus support this week. BTW 99.99% I get my anwers to problems by google and searching the fora, but this time I already spend two days searching and trying, but still nothing. I am very glad people are trying to help me on this thank you all.

Maurice EDIT: I forgot point 1. I got the latest firmware on my router. There is however one last option and that is to flash it with openWRT firmware from openwrt dot org. This is however my last option if the other options aren't helping. I know the N support is there on my router, because my other notebook connects perfectly with N speeds. Dear customer, Is it possible that Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is installed on your notebook? Because it is an unfortunate fact that Asus notebooks (as well as other computer systems) are not yet entirely compatible with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 due to programming errors within the Service Pack.

Here is a list to the most common known issues: 4sysops.com/archives/list-of-vista-sp1-problems-be-careful-with-service-pack-1/ To solve the problem you are adviced to perform a Recovery. A Recovery can be done via an internal Recovery partition, or via a Recovery CD/DVD. However, before doing so, make sure you have a back-up of your files if possible! Recovery via partition: 1: Reboot your computer and press F9 as soon as the Asus logo appears. 2: Select 'Recovery to first partition only' 3: Accept the terms, and follow the next instructions on your screen.

Recovery via CD/DVD: 1: Reboot your computer while your Recovery disc is in your disc drive, pressing Esc as soon as the Asus logo appears. 2: Select 'Recovery to first partition only' 3: Accept the terms, and follow the next instructions on your screen. Then I personally advice you to not install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 again. Best regards, Asus TSD.
