I have installed a D-Link DI624 wireless router to support my daughters PowerBook and my old desktop PC. The desktop runs 98SE and has installed in it a DWL-G520 card. Becuase of the location of the router and the tower, I installed a standalone antenna to connect to the G520. The wireless utility reports 70-90% signal strength, 802.11g mode at "54 MB/s" speed.
If I connect the PowerBook directed to the cable modem, I get 4 MB/sec at bandwidthplace.com. Goint wireless throught the PowerBook I get nearly the same 3-4 MB/sec. My friend brought his new Dell laptop over and got blasingly fast performance. My desktop PC with the particular card gets on 600-700 kB/s every time.
Any idea how what might be the culprit and how to spped up the desktop bandwidth to the available 3-4 MB/s performance?
Thanks Peter
