DLink Wireless Pre-N USB adapter causes o/s to skip/stutterDlink DWA142 USB Rangebooster N adapter, I experience regular "skipping" in audio, programs and gameplay. It is as if the operating system is stopping for a split second, then running for a split second, then stopping, etc for 3-5 seconds. After that, everything is normal, then is happens very regularly, maybe once every 1-2 minutes. This happens while any program is running. I know it's the driver for this adapter because I also have a AipPlus Extreme G USB adapter that works flawlessly. I've gone back to that until I can figure out what's wrong with this N driver. The router I have is also a Rangebooster N Router (DIR625). My system is an Athlon 2900 with 1 Gig Ram/ATI Radeon 9550 graphic card. Windows XP SP2 with all security and o/s updates. I tested this setup on three different systems, the one above, an Asus motherboard with an Athlon 64 Dual Core CPU/ Geoforce 7950 512meg video card, and a Biostar motherboard with an Intel Celeron chip and an ATI All in Wonder Graphics card. This happened on all systems. After 6 hours with DLink tech support level one and two, they gave up and told me to send an official request for a tech to investigate the problem. Wonderful, there is no precedent. I bought a Belkin Pre-N router and adapter card to see if it was the software and experienced similar problems with that also. Slightly longer between skips, maybe 1/2 sec instead of split second skipping. So now I think it's just the wireless software in general that is causing the problem and it seems it's provided by Atheros in both Belkin and DLink adapters. Has anyone else experienced this? I would have to believe it is an issue other places. I think the odds of this happening on three different (and clean-no other software installed) systems is not likely. Hi
I doubt that this has to do with your core computer hardware or Windows. Make sure that you are not running Windows Zero Configuration and the original D-Link software utility, at the same time. You have to make a choice to use only one of them. (http://www.ezlan.net.wireless.html) In addition make sure that you Router's SSID is broadcasting, and that the power saving feature of the Network card is Off. Jack (MVP-Networking).

I read your post, which confirmed my suspicions about my own DWA-142. Ever since I upgraded to 802.11n (including that adapter) then my audio has experienced the exact symptoms that you describe. I've used two different sound cards (including a fairly high-end Audigy 2 card) and different playback programs. Disabling the device in my system did make the problem go away. So...I suppose we just have to wait for updated drivers? Any progress on your end? EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com On Feb 14, 5:10 pm, Steven wrote:

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and when I use Media Center and have my DWA142 plugged in Media Center tends to skip fairly frequently. If i unplug it Media Center is fine. The card works fine to transfer file and surf the web. I am using the XP driver in Vista currently. I was just on the DLINK FTP site and there was a driver released today. I am not sure if it is a Vista driver or not, but I am going to give it a try and will let you know. Here is a link to the drivers: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa142/Drivers Will keep you posted. Thanks. Hi there. I have DWA-142 CLASS A also. having same problem. ive noticed that if you put it closer to the router it stutters less.
The internet is great. Stable and good. But it stutters like hell. causes vista programs to close. it says "program stopped working" because so much stuttering I think. Mp3 is annoying, gaming, surfing, everything basically. DLINK? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WITH?

Now if I want to listen to music I have to disconnect from the network. Dlink tech support asked me to reinstall the drivers, and I did - without success. Resubmitting the request to dlink.
EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com I am also experiencing the same problem. But my adapter is the dwa-142
(not sure if its pre-n or not, but it is N nonetheless.). I've heard around the way that using other drivers (not supplied for dlink products) fixes the problem? Can anyone confirm this?
