D-Link DWL-G122 Wireless USB Adapter Problems Hi
I an asking for help for my son who has been having problems
with this USB adapter to get it to work on an older computer.
The OS is windows 98se.
This DWL G122 USB adapter is (or was) networking with a D-Link Di- 624
router
that is connected to a dsl modem, to a OS XP computer.
This adapter worked fairly well for about 3-5 days.
However during this time the adapter did fail but with several reboots,
reinstallments
manage to get it to work again before it stopped working all together.
Lights do show then stop.
D-Link tech support was totally useless. No solution at all.
They did suggest we download new drivers from their web site for the 98se &
that
did not take care of the problem. This adapter still will not work.
Icon on desk top will not open up either.
Another call to tech support with this latest problem, they suggested they
download
this software to my son's XP computer. Doing so an icon 'D' does appear in
the tray.
Since it did, told tech support the software is fine & appears to be
working.
Which means something is wrong with the computer with 98se to cause the
adapter
to stop working in it. They ask the tech person if there is a solution for
this or a way
to find out what could have caused this, they had no answer.
I've been told there were no error messages or any type of warnings that
gave them
any indication anything happened during the installment or during the time
it did work.
We basically know very little about computers, specially when something goes
wrong.
Our concern is if there is a problem with this 98se computer which worked
fine before
this adapter was added, purchasing another adapter will they run into the
same problem?
Sorry for the long detail letter but this is the only way I know how to
explain this problem.
Please, your help is greatly appreciated & much needed.
Thank you!
