Device takes time to establish connection once powered off or paused.
Hello master builders, I just wonder if it is a normal thingy or not but my wifi adaptor (D-Link DWA-127/B1 N 150 High-Gain USB Adaptor) is slow to connect to my router after restart, sleep, or shutdown. It takes several seconds to a minute to be able to connect back even though I've already connect it automatically. Is it because driver error while installation (yes, it is not plug & play, I do not know why tho) or parts defect? I've tried to look into several forums but since I cannot pinpoint what's wrong (or even whether it is normal or not) I cannot find the answer. IDK if it is help but this is my pc spec: ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 AMD Ryzen 5 2400g Team TForce 8GB DDR4 Crucial SSD BX500 240GB
I believe the optimal solution here is to swap the NIC adapter on the motherboard with a higher-quality one that supports strong Wi-Fi, or simply opt for Ethernet if you're close to the router. The Dlink USB adapter you're using likely isn't worth much.
Sure, I attempted to purchase another one in the hope it would fix the issue.
I try to skip USB whenever possible because they tend to have these unpredictable power issues. For instance, my Ethernet adapter stops working when switching between Windows and Linux, and it freezes even after a clean boot. It’s frustrating having to disconnect and reconnect it constantly.
Check the adapter’s status window for connection quality details. Review the number of bars and link speed. Determine the distance between your computer and the wireless access point, noting any obstacles like walls or floors. Identify nearby wireless networks. Use WiFi Analyzer to capture graphical data for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, focusing on the ‘Networks’ and ‘Analyze’ sections. Clearly mark your own SSID. See if other wireless clients are connected at the same time and whether they use wireless-N. Examine the security and encryption settings on the access point. Explore additional wireless options available. In the adapter’s properties, adjust power output to its maximum and lower roaming aggressiveness.
I've already purchased another Wi-Fi adapter, but the issue continues (it appears to connect faster than the first one). I've also attempted various suggestions from https://windowsreport.com/windows-8-1-di...leep-mode/, but nothing helped.
1. Quality is good, full bar, and 150mbps 2. About 7 meter and yes there is a wall 3. yes, several of them. I use app in playstore with different interface but I assume 'networks' is 'access point' and 'analyze' is 'channel graph'. There is no 5Ghz network in my area. 4. yes, there are some devices but i do not know if they are connected via wireless-N 5. WPA PSK. I think the other option is WPA PSK2 6. I've already unchecked "allow the computer to turn of the device to save power" in power management, not sure where to set the power output. I set Roaming aggressiveness to lowest (previously disabled)
Connect to your wireless router and adjust the 2.4GHz channel to 7 to avoid interference with neighbors who seem happy overlapping on channel 1. Switch the security setting to WPA2 using AES encryption. The adapter’s power output should match the location where you noticed ‘Roaming aggressiveness.’ If it doesn’t, reinstall the drivers from the manufacturer’s site. If drivers aren’t supported, proceed without concern. After reinstalling, reconfigure roaming aggressiveness and restart both the computer and router to verify. Be mindful of USB devices connected via the motherboard’s ports, as excessive power draw may impact WiFi performance. Consider using a powered USB hub if you have many peripherals connected. What type of router do you own? Is it limited to 802.11b/g/n? What speeds are you billed for by your ISP?
I connect multiple USB devices through the motherboard's USB ports. Once I disconnect them, the issue disappears after a restart or shutdown, but not when the system is in sleep mode. For now, I'm sticking with this workaround. Unfortunately, it only supports 802.11b/g/n standards, offering around 50MB of data transfer, though speed tests often show only about 40MB.
Here’s a revised version of your update:
I switched to the older adapter and the issue persists, but it now connects quickly to known networks after powering down or sleeping (about 3 to 5 seconds). The changes I made include: removing unused USB ports on the motherboard and avoiding unplugging the PSU after shutdowns. Let me know if this helps!
