Wireless "load" issues.

[Steevo]

Might be a USB related issue, try upgrading drivers and or trying to plug directly into a port on the board.

Make sure you don't have any power saving enabled on th3e PCIe bus, as many controllers are just pulled off one lane of the root.

Sadly moving the card does nothing and there are no other networks I can test on. My laptop was completely fine on the network and game so it's this one wireless card. It's plugged directly into my USB 2.0 port in the front.

Here is another weird issue. I ran the wireless card on my LAPTOP and it worked fine, so I'm not sure what is exactly causing it.

Ok, and the adapter is being used on your PC then?

I still question firewall settings, maybe you didn't allow something at one point, and it only works if something else (like a web browser) is opened allowing that port to transfer data.

What game(s) are you having issues with?

 

[Toothless]

Okay so all power options are off.

I've tried both USB 3.0 (directly off the board) and USB 2.0 (front I/O USB of the case) I can see the Firewall being the issue but I'm n00b at that topic.

The game is called Mabinogi. Don't judge

Here's a section on the Wiki dedicated to ports needed through the firewall: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Firewall_configuration. Quite a few different ports and ranges to see if work.

Not sure if your router does logging, but if it does...duplicate the connection issue by trying to play and see what gets reported (similar to what the Wiki suggests as well).

Another thing you could do to spot check is to turn your firewall off on your PC temporarily to see if it resolves the issue in the first place. You could also do the same with the router. NOT recommended for longer than it takes to verify the concern, you pretty much just opened over 65K doors to your network without any kind of firewall/port filtering. But you should be able to test it straight away and have immediate results if disabling the firewall allows you to play. Worth a shot at least.

Tried and didn't help. Also I can't really do anything with the router as it's locked pretty far down. Though I can get in and open ports. Wasn't needed before while using my laptop.

Question about a setting.

I've never seen the first two ever before. I mean, they've always been there when I've used the wireless card; I just don't know what they should be set to.

Are you using the extension lead with the little docking station, or are you using the dongle direct to USB? If you're using the little docking station, try without. I've had many many wireless antennae stations arrive DOA.

Unless I'm mistaken (@remixedcat can advise) these are your realtek drivers:

Also, to check if you're dropping packets, open cmd and type "ping www.google.com /t" and sit and watch the results for 5 minutes

 

[remixedcat]

Those should be the correct drivers @RCoon

 

[Toothless]

Okay so I ran the drivers from the Rosewill site, no improvement.

 

[Toothless]

Baby necro and update!

So I decided to take a closer look at what ports and whatnot was being used and here it is.

I had changed wireless drivers but that did nothing to help. I was thinking of setting the Nexon Game stuff to "Any" and protocol to 0 on both, though not sure what that'll do.

I used to have a similar issue where my wireless adapter would just randomly cut out. The device would still be detected but something would occur that would make the device go nuts. I tried drivers, disabling power saving, everything until I realize that the device was still detected by the computer when it "died" and that in reality, my wireless connection was still "active". Having a custom gateway, I have everything like DHCP manually configured. Come to find out in my case, DHCP was setup to have a lease time so short that there were cases where the wireless would get an IP but not get a renewal before the old one expired which caused the IP, gateway, and network mask to all get lost and stuck in limbo.

To blow your mind, to fix this problem, I changed my DHCP lease time from 1 hour to 1 week.

So tell me this: Does the computer still see the wireless adapter when it fails and do you get a yellow exclamation point indicating a network problem when this occurs? Can you also take a peak inside the system logs inside the event viewer? This could tell you if it's a driver related issue.

So sometimes I do get a yellow exclamation point, though most of the time it shows as normal 5/5 bars. (My room is almost exactly above the modem)

As for Event viewer? I can't really tell if there is anything as I don't speak computer that much. There are a few things that relate to networking but no red flags, nor errors.

Anything that looks like this? Look out for WLAN-AutoConfig logs with warnings, criticals, or errors.

All of the WLAN sources say "service has successfully started"

Though I see TONS of KMSHELDI terminations.

After doing a quick google search, KMSHELDI comes up with a lot of mentions of MS software activation workarounds. I would make sure that Windows and if installed, Office, are legitimate copies. Either that or your computer may have been compromised by malware.

This service / exe file has something to do with the activation of Windows on systems that... erm... well, let's put it this way: Not everyone has $150 to spare for a copy of Win 7 Ultimate. Those who don't have the money might want to keep this file lest they start getting "windows not genuine" or "not activated" messages.

That KMspico and the KMSELDI are used to validate pirated copies of MS OFFICE switch. Once it's installed and put to work the MS office is understood as activated and legal

Well my desktop Win8.1 is the same exact copy as my laptop, and my laptop has no issues. I also don't have Office on my desktop.

I'll run a deep malware scan here soon.

A copy of it? As in you didn't do a fresh install but rather copied the 8.1 install or you're using the same key on both machines?

 

[remixedcat]

Ghosting won't really fix any problems that a fresh install/reformatting would

Same ISO. I'll leave it at I don't have the money to buy a Win8.1 key. It doesn't explain why multiple re-installations on my laptop with the ISO let it run flawlessly, but my desktop doesn't like me.

One PUP detected with Malwarebytes so far.

 

[remixedcat]

running bootlegged windows copies they could put keyloggers and all kinda icky in it.

True but I don't have a choice until I can start working.

 

[remixedcat]

When that happens I just get official evaulation copies to tide me over... just get em and do the re-arms

I'm a bit confused, evaulation copies? How do those work?

 

[remixedcat]

microsoft gives out copies of windows that you can use free for x amount of days to evaulate them. There's also something officially documented called 'rearms" that extend the time (this is official and used for OEM syspreps)

Found this. If it is the cause of my network woes it would make sense since we use Comcast. Otherwise I'm out of ideas besides the reinstall of my OS.
