драйвера для asus wl-167

Maybe I’m going about the connection process all wrong. Any help ???

At that point, Safari and Firefox say I’m not connected to the internet.

Internet Connect may or may not have it as an option under Network Port. When it does, it takes a minute or two to connect.

System Pref’s -> Network gives me a yellow light for “Ethernet Adaptor (en1)” and says self-assigned IP address. Go to Configure and it shows a DHCP got an IP address (changes each time I unplug and re-plug in the ASUS) so I know I’m communicating with a router or server giving me a DHCP IP address.

Installing on eMac with 10.4.10. USBWirelessUtility sees the device and several networks. The one with the strongest signal is open (no encryption) have 95-100% on link quality and 65% on Signal Strength.

I hope someone can help… I have yet to get on the internet with the WL-167G

G’day all. I’m having the same problem as Ben with the drop-outs… it works great (I’m installing the WL-167G on an iBook G3) and it browses the internet… then it just stop communicating for a random bit of time. Looking though the USB Wireless Utility shows the CRC errors on packets jumping though the roof… then it’ll start working again randomly. (sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes 10 mins later) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? It’s driving me nuts! Thanks! :-)

Hi there, i’ve tried this Asus USB Dongle after your suggestion and have found it to drop out after about 30sec. Any suggestions to make it stop disconnecting?

Fantastic! Finally a good solution that’s readily available.

I’m in the market for wireless router and mabe an adaper for the mini. Any recommendations for the router. My personal favourites so far are Belkin (less features but cheap) and Lynksis (lots of features, expensive).

Good job mate, I was wondering how third party adapters would work on the Mac. This is a good example that you can get a cheap one for 1/4 of the money Apple ask you to pay but the only downside is that you lose a USB port (nothing a hub can’t fix).

And here is the (updated 26/04/2007, thanks Fred).ВP The one on the CD didn’t work but this one is OS X 10.4 driver and it seems to be just fine on G5 iMac.

Back to iMac, short visit to Asus website and few minutes later I was installing a new driver. Another reboot and it’s all beauty, it works like a dream. It took me a couple of minutes to configure network and enter encryption key but the thing just works fine now. Ah, by the way, I discovered another two networks somewhere in the neighbourhood, something the Netgear adapter couldn’t find.

After rebooting I opened the WLAN configuration utility (by Asus) but no matter what I did it wouldn’t detect my WLAN. Hmmmm… I thought the thing might be faulty so I quicklky got the laptop and installed Windows driver, after all the operating system is some five years old and any old driver should do, and it worked.

The adapter came nicely packed with manuals, installation CD, USB2 extension cable (about 30cm), a very handy USB universal joint and the neck lace. So I inserted CD and installed driver for Mac and rebooted. While rebooting I flipped through the manuals but couldn’t find a single word on Mac, it’s all about Windows, in six languages. But then again, manuals are like sex, good ones are great, bad ones are better than none.

I looked up Apple’s AirPort Extreme card but at $119 it’s surely not an option. So I went and bought Assus WL-167 USB2 wireless network adapter. Everyone who lives in Brisbane knows that Game Dude is about the cheapest shop in town, but QLD Computer Group at Woolloongabba had it much cheaper, so I grabbed one for $39.

Ah, it’s summer here in Australia and the longe is airconditioned while office is not and temerature difference might be as much as 10 degrees.

For quite a while now I’ve been considering buying wireless network adapter for my G5 iMac but the price just couldn’t justify the need. Occasionally I like to take my computer to the lounge room and use it from there, while the rest of the family is watching the movie or just hangs around. But dragging network cables all over the placce can be pain and the only other computer I have is an old 1.3 GHz Compaq laptop, running Windows XP with Netgear Wireless card. Even though the laptop does the job I prefer using the Mac in hot office than Windows in any climate.
