Im on 4mb broadband, when I use my wireless I only get half the speed.
My router is in the same room as my laptop.
Its a Netgear WGR614v6
Is there anything I can do to get a better speed.
thanks

Have you tried different channels (1, 6, 11)?

HI there
I will give that a try, so I take it the channel in the admin section of the netgear should be the same as the channel in the nic.

Don't mess with the wireless adapter (client) -- it automatically selects whatever channel is set in the wireless access point/router.

Half the speed, compared to what? Do you have a wired PC connected via the same router? Can you connect your laptop via wire to the same router?
What speed are you getting, and how are you measuring it?
My Netgear WGR614v4 and Laptop WG511 are capable of 1MBpS on my cable modem.

"Geo" hath wroth:
Which half do you see?
Ok, so we can assume that you're getting 4Mbits/sec when directly connected to the router with a CAT5 ethernet cable. Is that correct?
Probably, but it takes two to tango. What's on the other end of your wireless link, how do you have it setup, have you checked for interference, and how are you measuring the thruput?
