I personally am using a Dlink DWA 160 for over a year and works great. It has both 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ. Why is it better? Most Electronics in the house use 2.4 GHZ which may cause interference with the reception of the router so its better to run on 5.0 where it would be clear of any disconnects or interferences. Your router must support both 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ.

Its so funny, at times my computer would not log on to the internet and I couldn't figure out until I realized that when I turn on my wireless stereo system and noticed that it wouldn't work lol, my stereo runs on 2.4 GHZ.

I have a niceEshop 150 Mbps sub wifi adapter and it works great on a laptop. My question is how do you connect it to a mag 254. Others have said it works good on the mag but when I go to settings then wifi it says ( wifi not connected ) Any help would be appricated

I received the Mag254 yesterday. It came with a WiFi adapter. It sees my dd-wrt but not dd-wrt50 which is what I have set up. I've not been successful at connecting via Wifi but works fine hard wired.
Also, the Wifi adapter becomes burning hot very quickly when inserted in either the front and rear usb port. Does anyone else have these problems? I'm wondering whether I got a defective box or defective adapter.
Thank you for any advice.

Hi all. I contacted the mag box seller and this is the reply I received. Hope it helps others with the same issues.

"The heating issue that you mentioned with the wifi adapter is quite normal with mag 250 and mag 254. As far as its showing available wifi connections under wireless settings the box and wifi adapter are working normally.

The wifi however may not support all security settings of wifi bands. Make sure your router is broadcasting a 2ghz signal and not 5ghz. Also what kind of encryption you are using to lock your Wifi? WPA, WEP, AES etc? I find that WPA works best. Sometimes the other encryptions do not show."
