Even wireless mice receivers gets hot sometimes & not perform as well on some computers, one reason why mine is plugged into a hub on one of my notebooks. The chipset is right there against the computer, where there's going to be more heat. One other thing, the ones as small as a wireless mouse receiver are best to avoid. This greatly reduces the risk of getting burned. There are many Non-Genuine clones of these available, the best way to obtain this brand are from authorized dealers. I would have linked an ALFA, but the ones on the Newegg site are from 3rd party sellers, haven't had good experience with the couple of "First from Asia" deals on the site that was purchased.
It's best to ignore any refurbished ones listed.
No recent negative reviews.Īnd several ASUS models. Here's a well reviewed one of that brand on promo. TrendNET is a brand I suggest you avoid (regardless of price), many who has purchased these has posted negative reviews & there has been at least a couple of recent Topics where the issue was an overheating one of the brand.ĪSUS is a decent brand with much everything the corporations builds, ALFA is another known good one, so is BUFFALO. Make certain to obtain one that's designed for Windows 7 or higher. The ones for less than $12 or so, in general, aren't worth the time of day, will often run hot after a few minutes of use & Internet connection will be very flaky. As Chris stated, there are several brands to choose from in the $20 range, though I suggest not to go too cheap (you get what you pay for). I'm sorry to hear that the wireless card is causing further problems.įortunately, this doesn't have to be an expensive issue to fix. Yes these wireless units fails for varying reasons, as evidenced by the high numbers of used (& sometimes new) replacements sold on online auctions such as eBay, or other sources such Amazon & Newegg. Like Chris has stated, this could be indeed a hardware issue & is appearing as such, it could be that the supplied drivers temporarily restored the device to semi working condition, but the same issue has returned.
