    Atheros AR9382 mini PCIE card won't associate with 5Ghz network on some channels

    It is good to know that Intel has finally fixed the issue. I know it plagued a lot of people. I will definitely consider the Intel going forward, if the Atheros does not work out. As for the Atheros card... I think it might actually not have anything wrong with it (in US region terms). I...

    Atheros AR9382 mini PCIE card won't associate with 5Ghz network on some channels

    Avtella, I got the Atheros card for about 5 dollars, shipped. I wasn't sure it was going to work completely (including things like the wifi enabled light and on/off button working correctly). They do, but if they didn't (or if there was some other issue, like the one I am having), I'd be...

    Atheros AR9382 mini PCIE card won't associate with 5Ghz network on some channels

    I bought an Atheros AR9382 mini PCIE card on Ebay for my laptop. It works fine, including the wireless LED and the wifi switch, but there is one issue: It won't associate with my router on the upper channels in the 5Ghz band... I am thinking it was 159 to 165. It seems pretty evident that...

    Any problems with buying a used Wireless router?

    I just recapped my Netgear WNDR3700v1 (which has been in continuous use since I bought it right after the model was first released... had to be around 2008) router a few months ago. It had low quality Ltec caps as original equipment, and three of four were bulged. It works very well now with...
