I have just purchased a new ASUS USB-N13 as it was recommended for use with Ubuntu 14.04. MY connection is set up but closes around every 10 minutes, it then asks my for my Wi-Fi password again to log on "it gets a bit frustrating after 10 times". Anyone else had this problem or know a fix for it??

I have found that if you go to Asus' support site, locate your device, and click the OS dropdown and select Linux you can find the driver that purportedly supports your device. Device Support Page
Also, not sure how much help this may be but here's a forum thread on getting your device working with Ubuntu. Thread In the thread they claim the 2010 driver may be defective, so, there's that.

I have downloaded the latest driver from the site and installed it. But i am still having the same problem. I lose connection then get asked for my password again! Been trying for a week now without getting anywhere. I'm trying my best to sort it as i do not want to revert back to Windows.– flazJun 20, 2014 at 13:13

What kind of network is this you're connecting to? Home network? Just password? Or is it enterprise 802.1x with username and password? I have run into your problem with the latter network type without ever using your wireless dongle.– larouxnJun 20, 2014 at 13:47

Thanks I’ll take a look. There is a few threads on here that I’ve tried but none of them have resolved the problem.– flazJun 20, 2014 at 14:19

, then press Enter. One of the devices should be your ASUS USB-N13, and the line should look something likeBus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0737 Microsoft Corp. Compact Optical Mouse 500
(my example is for a mouse, but yours should be similar).
