Software Related to realtek issue "Errrr 9" security level high
Rick:
Downloading the new realtek 8192cu software/driver requires installing software that after installed functions more like an router and has to be changed to access point to achieve 300mb
see photos attached;
The biggest problem is, it creates a access point; when you check to login to a new service, it shows your desktop and UNSECURED mode...
Boggin:
Log into the USB adapter and check to see if you can change the Channel Width from 20/40MHz to just 40MHz and that should force the n speeds.
Something to bear in mind when changing the Channel Width is if you are using any Apple products, they didn't used to like the 40MHz band, but the USB adapter will revert to the slowest device of the g speeds of 58Mbps, so if any devices don't work when changing to just 40MHz, you'll know the reason why.

its limited setting ; however, if we install the realtek software version, it achieves that speed.
so why the high alert? it installs itself as a router and ads firewall commands... in order for it to achieve 300 speed, one must adjust it as a login, however, then look up connect or disconnect to wifi, it will show your computer, i think is call for a high alert.
we can tweak the settings without adding the realtek software virus!

I'm not quite sure what you mean about this Error 9.
When I said log into the router, I meant by going on line and entering its Default Gateway into the URL search box.
It could be something like 192.168.1.1 but if you open a command prompt and enter ipconfig /all - that will display the details, although its Default Gateway should be somewhere on what it came packaged in.
The Channel Width setting should be somewhere in the Wireless settings may give you a better choice than going into the adapter's Properties in Device Manager.
One other thing to look for is if the Channel Mode is set to Auto instead of a specific channel.
It has crossed my mind that if it's set to Auto then it could have been switching when you were previously trying to download that other Vista ISO.
If it changes channel while you're downloading a large file or streaming HD, you will see the disruption to your connection.
Having checked if it's set to Auto and it is, open a command prompt and enter netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid
That will display your SSID as well as any other local users with their SSIDs.
The signal strength is shown as a percentage and which channel each are broadcasting on.
Look for any sharing or adjacent to your channel and as long as their signal strength is <50% they shouldn't interfere with your signal, but it's best to find the least populated that doesn't have any either sharing or adjacent with those signal strengths and one that gives you the strongest strength.
Any with a signal strength say in excess of 55 - 60% will disrupt your WiFi.
