    Anniversary Update woes


    This is the driver MS updates have used for a WL-700N-M it worked on win 8 and on all builds to 1511. Doesnt work on 1607.

    The driver does work on my Win10 machine with my device (Asus USB-N53)
    Machines and devices differ.

    Don't want someone who is looking for a fix to discount trying the driver *Wink

    That driver is now designed for asus usb n53 and not for the wl-700n-m. Looks like mediatek/ralink/ms have messed this driver up, or since 1511 is now old unsupported hardware. Looking at other all other usb wifi its unclear which would actually work so i think for win10 im avoiding anything mediatek. I'll say again none of this nonsense would happen with win7/8

    Anniversary Update woes

    The driver is designed for the Ralink chip in the device.
    The previous driver from the Mediatek site did work on my Win8 machine.
    Mediatek is aware of the issues I had between the three versions I tested, no doubt there will no doubt be yet-another-version.

    Have you reported the issues you see to Mediatek?

    Seems quite a few people had troubles with their WiFi adapters/chips after various updates. I gave up trying to fix my roommate's WiFi on his laptop, 'cause machine itself was pretty old and pretty much any drivers I COULD find for it wouldn't work. Even plugged into ethernet and tried to update them through WU. Nope. Weird thing was, it acted like the WiFi was OFF. And the F-key to switch it was stuck on orange and non-responsive. Very strange. It wasn't until I installed an old Wireless-G Netgear USB adapter that it finally magically worked.

    So I'm back from holiday and back to trying to fix this wifi issue

    I've install a dynamode gui for my WL-700N-M.
    The status is connected, SSID, PA, IP, gateway, speed, Rx & Tx throughput, packets sent/received details are all there

    That means the wifi usb is wifi'ing a connection to the router, right?

    So if it looks like the usb stick is "working" what is blocking internet?

    Again do I need to make a change to something in :-
    windows firewall?
    Router settings?
