Question 3

It's worked great for about a year or so now, and randomly can't find networks all of the sudden. I don't know if I've messed up a setting or anything, but I've tried everything and can't get it to work. Anyone else run into this issue?

Accepted Answer

I fixed the issue. I'm not sure why, but when plugged in, it was creating the weirdesf problems, such as not searching for networks, extremely long loading times (10+ minutes with internet related settings), longer restart and shutdown times (about half an hour, as opposed to the normal 1-2 minute time), etc. it was very odd. However, the instant I unplugged the USB these all became instantly fixed. The network bar showed up, internet settings sped up, restarts and shutdowns were next to instant. So it ms safe to say that after about a year of use, this product simply burns out and needs to be replaced.

Also, I'm on Window's 8, wirelessly connecting to a router-modem network roughly 20-30 feet away

The quick installation guide includes support for XP. Although it is generally thought that support for XP from Microsoft has ended. Some hope that decision is reversed, I am not holding my breath.
