Remote control for asus P5w DH

[Mykou]

did you have issues to install it ?

Did I miss something ,I can't use it after connected to usb port 3 then 4 and installed software as they said

Oh.. I put the battery too before posting

Gonna be mad with that lol

[kidstechno]

Having trouble with mine too, put the battery in, plugged the wireless reciever into the Wake-On LAN ports near the Audio ports and it says diconnected when the setting screen comes up. Anyone have a clue?

[Supertim0r]

have you installed the cd drivers or website one ?

[kidstechno]

CD drivers, they're the same I think since I checked their website and believe I installed those too and no luck

[m0da]

i installed the cd drivers. mine is working fine.
did you stick it in one of the usb ports closest to the pcie slots?

[AndrewZorn]

i installed the drivers off the website.

software always says disconnected

except ONCE... i removed/reinserted battery, and i was able to use the remote until next restart.

really, really bothering me. because i was going to buy a media remote before i found this board. so this sucks.

i installed the cd drivers. mine is working fine.

Installed it closest to the audio connections like it said to, but still no luck. Did you plug in the receiver before installing the drivers or after?

[CastorTroy]

I plugged it in before I installed the drivers, but I dont think the order makes a difference...

Did a battery come with it? I didnt see one and went out and bought another battery when I set it up.

[AndrewZorn]

Perhaps the battery is close to dead when shipped?

[kidstechno]

Maybe, it still makes the blue light on the controller light up. One thing that also bothers me is that the battery sort of doesn't click in, you have to just toss it in and cover it up for it to stay in place.

[AndrewZorn]

Well,

I just found out the remote can power up the computer each time. Yet, in Windows, it shows disconnected and does nothing... !

[kidstechno]

I fixed it, I switched it around to each USB port after I installed the drivers and seems to work in the non-Wake On LAN USB ports so it works, just wont boot on the computer I think. But does launch programs and all sorts of stuff and can go into hibernation.

[AndrewZorn]

so, putting it in the 'top' ports fixed it?

[Mykou]

so, putting it in the 'top' ports fixed it?

If so... gonna burn asus manual for good

too lazy to plug the receiver and check it

[AndrewZorn]

weird how the ones designed for it dont work
i havent tried it yet myself

its like, i thought that the designated ones would just have wake enabled
and other than that normal usb ports
so for windows to not work with them... weird

also i used the external usb hookup thing for my case usb and those dont work. cant figure it out

[tvdang7]

can yall tell me what this remote does?

[AndrewZorn]

turns computer on/off, controls winamp/media players, sets up wifi in sleep mode

and ive discovered that by setting up the user profiles or whatever, you can make the 5 buttons whatever you want as far as hotkeys go
so i could in theory play icy tower with my P5W remote
if i could get the to work

[kidstechno]

What I did:
1) downloaded drivers from Asus website
2) Installed Drivers, rebooted
3) Connected the Wireless Receiever to various mobo USB ports until one worked
4) Worked on the bottom USB port (not near Audio inputs)
5) Disconnected it from the non-Wake On port and connected it to a Wake-On port.. it worked!

[AndrewZorn]

wait, so what port is it finally in?


1 3
2 4
------------BOARD

[ted3]

Cant get it to work, always "disconnected", my board is not being recognized as Asus-board, i think thats the problem. Try this: Rightclick the DH Remote icon in the system tray, select NoiseOff or EZ-WiFi. Then do you get a msg saying it will only work on P5W-DH board? It happens sometimes here, unless i mess with task manager and move receiver to other USB ports.

I think clean install is needed to make it work right away, lets hope someone will find a way around it.

[AndrewZorn]

noiseoff and easywifi work for me (though, wihtout the remote, i couldnt get out of easywifi, i had to shut off)

still says disconnected

this is really dumb
i was pumped about the remote

1)turns comp on and off not too bad
2)media players now thats cool kinda like the AIW i used to own.
3)Set up wifi in sleep? i dont get this last function and how its relavent.

[AndrewZorn]

i doubt id be using 1 and i know i wont use 3
basically it can make a wifi network even in S3

but anyway

like i said you can set up shortcuts to work universally (any program)

and even if it is useless i still paid for it so it sucks that its so hard to get working

[Haltech]

Mine works in its required usb 3/4 port. Since i use a BTX case, its the top usb ports for me.. Powers on when off with the remote as well.

[AndrewZorn]

did you install drivers from website or CD, and did you do anything else special?
