You may wait few days for final Ubuntu 17.10 or install Ubuntu 17.10 Beta from here: '' - it has no problems with Ralink RT3290 so anybody who can test this, please, try this out, maybe the RT3290 problem is already a history :-) Reply Delete
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following "Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?

#Ralink rt3290 driver windows 8.1 wifi strength is low how to#
With Wicd I've found one issue: it refuses to connect with open, unsecured wifi hotspots and I have no idea how to workaround this (network-manager works well in this area).įuture patches to end this RT3290 issue saga: After that click "rescan" and it should work from now on. It then starts to work instead of standard network-manager (I hadn't uninstalled it), but needs some attention at first run => go to Wicd-> Preferences panel->General settings->Wireless interface: check what interface name is used there, because sometimes it uses wrong and needs to be corrected with proper name. If wifi network then is found and working but somehow it's unable to connect with it then "Wicd" is need to be installed. => to check it there is a wifi interface found and is it checked as '*-network disabled' => if disabled, then it needs to be enabled by typing:ġ) "sudo ifconfig wifi interface's name up"Ģ) "sudo service network-manager restart" Theese steps works probably in any computer/kernel type mentioned here when fresh install/reinstall driver after each kernel update:ħ) "sudo service network-manager restart"ġ) "iwconfig" or "ifconfig" or "sudo lshw -C network" Now I have no signal, can someone help me? Because I lost the signal thank you very much Reply Delete Modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rt3290sta': Required key not available So I continued to investigate a bit, then I got the advice of Imam: Please execute following commands in RT3290 folder, you can do that by opening terminal in the folder:Īt this point I lost the wifi signal, then I had this problem: HP-250-G3-Notebook-PC: ~ / RT3290_u16 $ sudo. Then I clicked run.sh and the wifi started to work (bit, because I'm very close to the router but the signal is 2/5 lines). Download the file (RT3290_u16_v2.tar.gz) and unzip it to the Home folder. Installation then I did not have Wifi (Driver rt3290) so I search a lot until I find this page. Too many problems, the battery did not charge, the wifi did not work well and could not go back to Windows 8! So today I decided to move to Ubuntu, I chose the 16.04 LTS.

There I go, my computer is a HP 250 G3 with Windows 8.1, has a couple of years, then upgrade to Windows 10. Sudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnomeįinally, restart computer and use Wicd Network Manger to connect to WIFI networks. To do that, on Ubuntu first install wicd network manger by entering following command in the terminal:Īnd then remove default gnome network manager of Ubuntu by entering following command: *If you are able to see WIFI interface but can not connect to any WIFI network then you should try wicd Network manager instead of default network manager for connecting to WIFI networks. *If you do not see Wi-Fi network, you may need to activate it manually by executing the following command from RT3290_u16 folder or reboot computer:
#Ralink rt3290 driver windows 8.1 wifi strength is low update#
*If you update Linux kernel then you will have to run the following commands from the RT3290_u16 directory to compile and install the driver for new kernel:
RT3290 Linux Driver (Ubuntu 16.04 or latest) Also suitable for Ubuntu 15.04 based distributions: *Updated package for latest Ubuntu based distributions (tested against Ubuntu 17.04).
To install this driver simply download the following file and after extracting the file in the Home directory of your Ubuntu, follow the instructions in the ReadMe file inside the extracted RT3290 folder (You may need to shutdown computer and boot again to get it working).Īfter installing the driver hopefully you will have better wireless experience in your Ubuntu system :)įor fedora users, please try the following: This driver will fix weak signal and many other problems on Ubuntu 15.04 based distributions. However, there is a official driver available for Linux from MediaTek for Ralink RT3290 STA wireless device. Ubuntu 15.04 comes with Linux kernel version 3.19 and the problem of weak RT3290 wireless signals is still prevalent since by default Ubuntu 15.04 will be using Linux kernel rt2800pci module. The state of this module is such that in many circumstances you will have very weak wireless signals. Currently, Linux kernel has experimental support for RT3290 wireless through the module named rt2800pci.

RT3290 is a PCIe device which combines 802.11bgn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 devices in a single chip. Note: Ubuntu 17.10 has a builtin driver ( rt2800pci) which performs good and usable.
