coolwap Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello. I have El Capitan installed on my P5Q motherboard. I am using EDUP EP-N8508 usb wireless card which is based on Realtek RTL8188CUS chip. Since driver for 10.8 never worked (even on 10.8), I always have used driver for 10.7 and it seems to work ok. But sometimes there is this problem: Internet disapears and in Wireless Network Utility the 'Signal Strength' value starts to jump from 100% to 0%, and then from 0% to 100%, and then again and again every second. Turning WI-FI on and off in utility doesn't help at all; pluging out and back in USB adapter stick won't help either; rebooting system helps only from time to time; the only thing that helps is restarting WI-FI router (I use DIR-300), but in a few minutes/hours/days(I think one week and a half is a record) problem comes back. In El Capitan this thing started to happen really often (few times a day) and in a few seconds after that system just freezes, so I have to reboot. It's impossible to use computer when it freezes few times a day and I would like to find solution, but not just go back to Yosemite where I would have to restart router. For the record, WI-FI on all other devices works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duduclx Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 My response is surely not the one you hope. Change your internal wifi/bt card to a supported one. You can find list of material and associated drivers easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
