1. I have an Inspirion desktop 660. It comes with a Dell DW1506 (802.11 b/g/n) WLAN Card.
2. I bought a Wireless USB adapter Linksys WUSB6100M to upgrade to SELECTABLE DUAL BAND (2.4/5GHZ). The installation was good. However the adapter works on and off.
3. It sometimes does not connect when the computer wakes from stand by mode. Some Windows updates makes it unusable. The same USB wireless adapter works fine on my HP laptop.
4. What is the problem with the Dell computer?
5. Is it its BIOS?
1. If you bought it with a nice WiFi card, why did you install another one?
I've never heard of having two WiFi cards installed. If you are not going to use the Dell DW1506, I think you need to remove it.
2.You should contact LinkSys for assistance. It's their WiFi card, so they support it (not Dell). You can try thier latest driver and Microsoft might have a lean-simple one to try (sometimes, those just work better).
3. Waking from Standby is a tricky thing for some devices. As a work-around, try disabling Sleep and see if it now works 100%.
4. Try switching USB ports (maybe even to USB-2.0 one). Assuming it's even the Inspiron itself causing the trouble, maybe check things that effect your USB-Port powering-down. For example, have you tried "High Performance" Power-Profile?

5. Not likely.
