I've changed the adapter, the brand of the adapter, the USB port, software. It still says I have a good signal and great signal quality. But then I can't get the web to pull up anything. So I figure I'll just use that until I can order a better one. It shows a signal of 70% and a link quality of 95%. So I build the wireless adapter into the utility rather then the regular window. It connects! I reboot and it fails to connect. so I take my micro adapter out of my raspberry pi, put the driver on a USB drive, install the driver (and the utility) and plug it in. OK, so I do some research on google for this model and I occasionally find someone else having the same trouble. Rebooting just takes it back to not being able to connect. I eject it, delete the driver, re-download it, and reinstall. So I'm thinking maybe there is a problem with the drivers. I keep trying and it goes back and forth between telling me my passkey is mismatched (it isn't) or that it just can't connect to the router (troubleshooting gives me nothing). I try pinging Google and it is losing all the packets again. and then it drops out all together again. Woohoo! So I go back to my streaming show and it starts back up. I had to put the password back in, and I get a connection. Open it up, plug it in, and it doesn't work at first.
By coincidence I have a second adapter of the same model brand new in the wrapper. So at this point, I'm thinking maybe this USB wireless adapter had blown.
Went to wife's computer and verified that she was still connecting to the wireless router well, no dropped packets, etc.
So I tried a cold reboot, tried moving it to a different USB port on a different controller (USB 3 to USB 2), even went over to my main computer and logged into the router to reboot it. yes, the internet connection had dropped. I tried going to another tab and searching to see if the page was down, but the other tab didn't come up. Watching some streaming video over the internet for a couple of hours, then it just went to buffering and never cleared. Was using a Belkin F9L1001v1 N150 Wireless USB Adapter. The symptoms are showing up in my fairly new (couple of months old) HTPC. I'm really hoping the trouble is something simple that I've overlooked.
