If you have any suggestions on other cards that will speed up my wireless experience, I would appreciate it.Īs for my issue, does that seem like something familiar? Does it sound like it is an issue with the card itself? Or perhaps some sort of incompatibility? No worries if you're not sure. I would still like a dual band card, but may just go back to the Atheros if it's going to be this much trouble. I have compiled a copy of compatible devices.
The following and advanced-n 6235 and updated drivers for windows 10. Per intels website the centrino 2230 is supported in windows 10.
Someone had suggested that it was better online somewhere and a couple responses agreed (I don't have a real reason besides those assessments and the dual band support). Intel r centrino r wireless-n 2230 driver manufacturer is intel corporation and developed by intel in the database contains 23 versions of the intel r centrino r. I ended up buying a new router (the TP-link) that supports 5ghz and thought I would buy the Intel 6200 since it supports 5 ghz as well (the Atheros only utilizes the 2.4 ghz). I read some reviews that other people had similar issues with the Atheros not getting very good speed or distance from the router (even though I'm just about 15-20 feet away). I was having some issues with wireless speed using the Atheros card that came with the computer while my girlfriend's older Toshiba was fine. Each of the different drivers works in the same way.and stop working in the same way. I wanted to add that I updated the drivers for the wireless card, and that's where I am. Previous wireless card: Atheros Model AR58195 (worked fine, I just wanted a better one)Īs the Atheros card worked, I don't think this has anything to do with my wireless router, but it is a TP-LINK TL-WDR3600.Īnyway, I appreciate any possible help I can get to prevent my wireless card from stopping upon computer restart! If no one has any ideas, I will just send it back as defective. I'm about to send the card back thinking that it has some problem. Obviously this is a hassle I would prefer not to go through. Each time I want to use it after my computer is turned off, I have to go through this process, and add my wireless passwords again. Then I "Scan for hardware changes" and it works again. In order to get it to work again, I go to "device manager", right click, and uninstall it. To put it simply, I replaced my wireless card in my laptop and I got the Intel 6200 to work, but whenever I restart my computer, or disable and enable the wireless card, it stops working. I will include some of the laptop information below. I also don't often know the tech lingo unless I've read about it online. I would estimate my skill being about a 4 or 5 on a 1-10 scale, but can follow directions well. I want to add that my expertise level in computers is not high, but I am a little knowledgeable. I'm having an issue with this wireless card on my laptop.
