Linksys usb wifi is hanging

[jonnyb]

What I mean by hanging is that when I click on a link, website, put in an address or search, it sits there and starts to go to the weblink and just hangs. If I refresh or click on the same link again then it seems to go.

If I do not try it a second time then it will lag or hang for 3 minutes or more.
As soon as I reclick the link again, it goes. This is a brand new usb wifi adapter. It did the same on another machine as well..

When it first is being used on startup it will work fine for about 3 pages or websites then it starts this hanging thing.

Somin' wrong here? Should I spit in it?

Hello Jonny,

This diffinately sounds like a weak signal or signal loss. What is the signal strength? If you are getting a weak signal, see this page:

It is a straight shot to the router in the next room. When I click on the link the second time it is lightning fast.

I just use the usb wifi to work on systems that I tech around on or customers. So it is not a permanent thing. So I just use it for temporary thing until I fix, work on or sell a computer.
I guess I could check for new drivers though.
