WMP300N Connection Issues
I am using Windows 7 x64 build 7100. It automatically installed drivers for my Linksys WMP300N during windows installation. I was able to join my local wireless network just fine. However, downloading large files (whether it be, HTTP, FTP, or BitTorrent) causes my connection to stop working. The system tray icon still shows my signal strength, and I can still see all wireless networks in range. However, I cannot use the internet, nor contact my wireless router. Any attempts to refresh my connection or establish a new connection fails. It seems the only solution is to restart.
I did notice that the driver installed with windows had a driver date of 2006. I grabbed the latest drivers from Linksys, and installed the latest version for Vista x64 (which was version 4.150.22.0). I did have to do some weird stuff to get it to install, because Windows kept telling me the driver update failed because "The name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name". So I had to uninstall the device, and do some registry cleanup to get it to allow me to change the driver.
But the problem still persists. Any ideas?
