Doesn't work after enabling security Hi,The product worked smoothly immediately after plugging both the adapter in. Then, I tried to enable security and something happened.

Hi, I am having the same problem. It worked fine and then DATA Led stopped. Medialink support could not troubleshoot and advised to return product. I believe I reset (by pressing the button) but how can you reset without having the device plugged in? Do you go inside the hole where it says reset with a paperclip (like a mac?). Please advise. Would be great if Medialink would offer this solution! THanks in advance.

Never mind. It all works fine now. I unplugged both devices, pressed reset, plugged them back in, and works! This is a cool device.

I pressed RESET on each device and that doesn't help. How to do I get back factory preset settings.

Hello from Medialink,The reset button that is recessed, does require a paperclip or pencil to depress it but you can "reset" the devices by simply holding the security button. Here is the process:Unplug both devices for 30 secondsPlug in 1st device, hold Security for 15-20 sec (as soon as 3 LEDs Flash, release)Repeat for 2nd deviceThen back to the 1st device, Hold security for 3 seconds and release (power LED starts blinking)Within 1 minute, hold security on 2nd device for 3 seconds and releaseThanks,Medialink Customer Support856-216-8222support@medialinkproducts.comTues-Sat 9am to 6pm Eastern Hello from Medialink,The reset button that is recessed, does require a paperclip or pencil to depress it but you can "reset" the devices by simply holding the security button.

Yes, I've had it lose connectivity off and on, but today it stopped working completely (code 43). Usual troubleshooting methods did absolutely nothing. What finally worked was simply disabling the adapter. Disabled it, clicked okay, went back in and enabled device again and it started working. Go figure.

I didn't have this issue with this product but I have had this issue in my home with another adapter. I had to call the company that I use as my internet provider and have them turn off the hot spot in my home. The hot spot signals were conflicting with my Wifi signal causing the computer to have an unsteady signal.

Have you tried a different computer? The first one of these I ordered did not work at all. And I had to return and reorder. As far as I know it is still working. You may have to enlist the help of a professional to get your data back.

Make sure that the green indicator light is glowing on the plug-in end of the adapter. I have found that, occasionally, I have to "jiggle" the plug a little bit to get that light to come on. I thought it had something to do with my outlets, but it may me a manufacturing defect.

Hi. I tried this but it only works for a few minutes, then I unplug, plug, works, then stops, etc. Have you found a solution to this? Someone said clean it but didn't tell me how...

Is your power LED on or off when the system isn't running. It will depend on the way your motherboard handles power to the USB ports. My motherboard allows you to set a jumper to use the +5V rail from the power supply that does go off and on with the system's operation. The motherboard also allows you to use the +5VSB (the SB means standby) to power the USB ports. That stays power supply stays on as long as the power supply switch (on the back of the PC) is on and the PC is plugged in. Some motherboards may not give you this choice. Check your motherboard manual. If +5V is powering your USB ports the card reader's LED will be off when the system isn't operating. If +5VSB is powering your USB ports then the LED will remain on. Why have a +5VSB? Well that's to allow your front panel power switch to be a "soft" switch that doesn't switch the full load of your system. It also allows other components on your motherboard to to powered up when the system is not operating. That makes it possible for you to wake the system based on the time of day, by taping a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse. Those last two require the keyboard and mouse to be getting power all the time. Today, most keyboards and mice are USB devices so motherboard designers use the +5VSB to power the USB ports if they want you to have the "tap to start" feature. Too bad they don't let you chose which USB ports operate that way. I hope that explains it for those who seem to wonder why the other guy is experiencing the power light on or off when the system isn't running. By the way, a little piece of black tape can hide the LED and others have disconnected the LED on some similar card readers by clipping the LED's power lead. I haven't cracked this one open to see if that is possible because it doesn't bother me.

I had the same problem. I was able to connect it to my router and to my phone via tethering. The module worked ok only for 6 hours and then stopped working. After a reboot to the system, the control panel continuously rebooted with an error message until the module was removed. Since I had another control panel with the same module that worked OK, I have filed a claim to return the item as I consider it defective. I will get another one.

Hi Montana, does the LED light work now? If the light works well, the device should be OK. Is there any Warnings or notes popped up on your screen? You could go to www.supereyes.cc to download software.

Yes, I am having problems. It was working fine but today I unplugged it and plugged it in another place and it doesn't work. Went back tot the original plug and it doesn't work anywhere. The Screen shows the word POWER, but there is none. I cannot find a "do this if this" item in the manual so I have no choice but to return it. I liked the previous Sangeans (PR-D5) I bought. This was a up step but I am very disappointed.

I plugged it up and it worked instantly. Try using a different Slot, look to see if there are any updates. Or restart your computer with the device still plugged in.

Hi. I first didn't have any troubles with this product, but then I had the dumb idea of upgrading the widi software in my laptop and the widi software of this product. Since that day I have problems with video and audio, at least once a day... But I just disconnect the.connection between my laptop and my Belkin screencast and I let my laptop recognize the adapter again, and then it works again... I don't really like doing that, but it still works well when that doesn't happen...

Used it to connect my security system Internet module (system visibility, notifications and control). Had REALLY bad disconnect issues / warnings / calls from monitor company. After MONTHS of this crap (sometimes multiple per day) and buying a new router and balancing the load from all my toys (still had bad dc issues), I just happened to try "short" for the preamble setting and haven't had an issue in I think at least a couple of weeks. FINALLY!! But we will see if it holds...

It automatically sense the signal ( there is a delay though approximately 20 - 30 sec, some times more than that, less than a min), but it comes up automatically. In case it is not responding, switched off (remove the power supply) and re-connected, it worked ( I came across the situation, once). Hope it answers your queries.

My AC adapter just failed. I've had this netbook for about 3 weeks. My computer was connected to the power cord the whole time and i didn't even notice the adapter was off until the computer turned off due to lack of power. The adapter was cool to the touch and there was no physical damage either. Following this thread's advice i unplugged cord from the brick and threw the whole thing in the freezer. And IT WORKED, the blue light came back on and its charging now. I don't know if and when the power will fail again so I'm very nervous about making sure I back up all my files while i have power just in case the adapter fails permanently and I have to wait weeks, if not months, for another adapter.
