Slow wireless connection
I recently purchased and installed a Linksys WRT54GX wireless router. I'm using this with a WMP54GS receiver set up elsewhere in the house. The security I have set up is WPA (the receiver is about two years old and doesn't support WPA2, even with updated firmware). The two computers are able to form a connection, but the speed on the receiving PC is slow, no better than dialup. The sending computer has a download speed of 282kbps, upload of 277 kbps. The person using the receiver says he has used it in other WiFi situations, such as in hotels, and has achieved fast speeds. Questions: 1) If I purchase a faster connection, say 4MB, is that likely to improve the receiving computer's speed? 2) Does security (WPA) cause a slowdown? 3) Any other ideas/suggestions?
