As the title explains, I have that issue with wifi max. Within an hour or two of inserting the wifimax, I enter system manager only to see that my cpu is at 30%. When I remove the dongle it goes back to zero. I assume someone has connected to it or something like that. I have it working perfectly(except for this) and when I play my ds, I don't have anything strange happen. All my settings are secure and it only accepts one mac address and is protected with a wep key which is a shared key. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks all.

Mine doesn't go immediately to 30%. It usually takes a while to get there, like an hour or two. I'm not too bothered as long as it's not hackers.

hey mate i did this:
first i put the cd in what you get with wifimax n click on ds(because i use a ds)and then when it finished installing it comes back to the start when you pick what you want to install the i put in my wifimax and straight after i put my wifimax in a usb a clicked on ds and the zydas things installed and then it said new hardware found at the bottom and a click on that then you pick the options to use cd and it install the drivers it needed to install then it was ready to use hope that helps

I could have sworn I had answered this question but since I don't see it here I'll have to post again. I have winxp and always download the latest drivers. This issue must be the fault of Datel, or so I like to think. I still hope to hear of a solution someday. Most likely an eventual Driver update will solve this. I am convinced that those who don't think they have this issue just aren't keeping an eye on the CPU usage.

I think I know what's causing it. I have had wifi max on without getting the 30% issue for a while now, but recently started using Azureus (a torrent downloading program) again and after a while started getting this problem again. If anyone else noticed anything similar I'd like to hear though I wouldn't know what to do about it. I hope this helps someone.

So I did the whole datel thing and this was their response:

"Dear Sir

Further to your email I apoligse but it seems that generally when the WIFI Max is connected and you start connecting the console online the PC's CPU usage remains at a constant rate."

I'm not sure precisely what this guy wants to say but I think he means I have to live with the problem. This was his final response after some back and forth emailing. If I sould have said something in particular then I'd like to hear it. It was worth a try though. Keep the dream alive guys.
