    Hello,

    This seems to have a lot of issues. I may replace it but first I thought I'd see if there was any firmware update or driver update for this wireless unit? I tried the January 2017 download for this and it installed drivers that are nearly a year old.

    Thanks! - I think the January drivers which are dated May but actually are from January of last year are based on these.

    Sorry - they posted the "new" drivers in January of 2017. They driver set is actually dated May of 2016. When installed though if you look at the driver on the hardware it is January of 2016.
