Please log in for more thread options Using a Linksys WRT54G router with a broadcom card. Hooked up to a cable modem. Connected directly to the cable modem I get download speeds up to 4mbps. With the router I get half that speed. Is it possible to use wireless and get the full speed benefit of this cable modem? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>802.11 b/g >WPA-PSK >PC spec? what do you mean There are a number of variables at work here and still without the information it's hard to answer. I'll assume from "802.11 b/g" that you means that's the card speed? I know the router is a g but you haven't said what card you have *exactly*. What rate is that connecting at? Just because it's a g card to a g router doesn't mean that the signalling rate is always going to be 54Mbps regardless of how far away you are. One of my machines here has a g card and is presently connected at 2Mbps due to where it is. If you're PC spec is so utterly low that it just can't do encryption to save its life then that will have a factor but you haven't said what spec it is. So first things first, check that the PC is connected at highest speed first, if things are still slow, then turn off encryption and see what throughput you get.

And you haven't answered his question about what you mean by "PC spec". I'd guess you want to know type of processor and speed, but it's a new one on me, too. -- derek | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
