For reference, I have an HP p7-1074 computer. There is something with my desktop that isn't playing nicely with it. What is so frustrating is I can plug the adapter into my laptop and it works perfectly. After seeing this, I ran Wireshark and got some TCP errors but I didn't really understand them. When using Putty (an SSH program), I get some error talking about a garbled packet. When using FileZilla FTP, I get an error talking about an 'incorrect mac received on packet'. This also happens even when I'm trying to log in to my router through the default gateway.

I either get a blank page, a no connection error, a page with the HTML code on it, or in Chrome it actually tries to download the page as a file. I can't browse the internet though in any browser. I can ping local and external servers/devices. I can even browse my NAS and transfer files to and from it through Windows Explorer. I have an IP address and the default gateway is correct. It connects to both my 2GHz and 5GHz wireless networks just fine and shows a 400ish Mbps connection. I just bought a Netgear A6200 wireless USB adapter connected on my desktop computer which is connected to my Nighthawk router. Holy crap I am so glad somebody else is having this issue! I have scoured the Internet over the past day trying to figure this out.

By all indications all the cards appear to be install and connecting just fine. I've tried various USB ports on the PC, 2.0 and 3.0, and there's no change regardless of where I plug it in.Īny thoughts here? I'm at a loss.

No local firewalls or other security software are running. The PC in question is running Windows 7 and I didn't change anything on it other than the USB network card. It seems clear that it's a PC issue since other laptops and devices on the network are sailing along just fine. Oddly, the original Belkin N300 usb adapter still works fine when I plug is back in, just none of the new ones do. It's behaving like if you were connected to a public network in a busy area, where the signal is strong but the internet bandwidth behind it is poor and pages just won't load. Sometimes I get a partial, poorly formatted page, sometimes I get a blank window. BUT when I open my web browser and try to go to just about any web page the page fails to load. They all read excellent signal strength, all pick up an IP address, all can ping other devices on the network and also domains out on the internet. They can connect to either the 5G network or the standard network my router offers just fine. I've tried 3 different new USB wifi adapters, 2 dual band and 1 single, and they've all had the same issue. On my PC I've been using a Belkin N300 usb wifi adapter that I'm looking to replace. I've got a Netgear 802.11N dual band router (an N600) and half a dozen devices connected to it that can access the internet just fine. I was hoping that one of the technarati here might be able to help me solve a problem I'm having on my PC.
