Wireless adapter problem
Hello,
I'm using a netgear wg111v2 wireless usb adapter with 64 bit vista. When I turn off my monitor, the usb adapter is disabled and I have to unplug it and plug it back in again to reconect. As long as the monitor doesn't turn off it stays conected fine. Any advice?

Wireless adapter problem
Hi darrenhart,
Is the USB adapter plugged directly into your base unit or is it plugged into a socket on your monitor? Some USB sockets on a monitor are powered sockets. They do not draw the power from the socket on the base unit, rather they are supplied with power from the monitor's power supply, with the result that if the monitor is turned off all items plugged into these sockets lose power and turn off. Sometimes when the monitor is turned back on it can leave the system in a confused state and the only way to clear the confusion is to unplug and reinsert any USB devices using these sockets.

port on the back of the computer. "Dwarf" wrote: Hi darrenhart, Is the USB adapter plugged directly into your base unit or is it plugged into a socket on your monitor?

Wireless adapter problem
It could be due to RF noise from the monitor as it shuts down. Try the WLAN
adapter in a USB extension cable, move it some distance from the monitor to see if the problem persists. "darrenhart" wrote in message ... The Adapter is Not plugged into the monitor.
