Download the ralink driver here.Īfter uninstalling the Driver Software reboot and attach the dongle. I would uninstall the software and driver using the uninstall in Control Panel.
The full software install from a CD is not necessary for Wifi on XP. I was looking for a specific model number. There does not seem a way to alter the headingĮdited by Chris Cosgrove, 09 July 2017 - 04:25 PM. The heading should read "Wireless connection problem" and not "Wirelee connection problem". I should be grateful for any help or advice in getting the adapter to work as it does in the non-windows distros. It is clearly more an inconvenience than a critical event.
I am at a loss to understand what's going on. it will stay stuck but I have found that just removing the adapter and putting it back in the same USB slot causes it to connect OK. Every time I boot into Win XP it spends a lot of time stuck on trying to acquire an IP address.
According to the System Hardware manager, the adapter and drivers are working correctly, but. All the non-windows distros work OK with the adapter. I decided it was time to get rid of the cable and installed a USB LB-Link wireless adaptor, using the manufacturers CD. It has been using a netgear PCI card and a cable to connect to my broadband router. I have an old PC which runs Windows XP and some other distros.
