Low tranfere rate from WAN site to PC's.
Hello all,
I have tried so solve this in a danish group, but without succes, so now I am trying here. Excuse me if there is typos or mispellings. English is not my primary language.
My problem is that I don't think I get the best out of the wireless network here. I have a 2 mbit ADSL connection, and with the cable plugged in I receive approximately 220 KB/Sek. Very steady.
With my Wireless connection I receive with about 170 KB/Sek. This is the fact for both the stationary and the laptop.
I connect to a FTP directly at my ISP. There IS bandwith enough.
I have also tried to bring home my laptop from work with build in wireless (Intel). I have placed it just next to the AP, and did see the same behaviour.
The weird thing is: I have tried to make a file transfere directly from the stationary PC to the laptop. Here I can get 300 KB/Sek. So I see that the network CAN move the amount of data that it should.
Here is what I've got:
A router/AP point type WRT54GC firmware 1.03.0. I have an external antenna connected to optimize the connection.
To this router/AP I have to units connected:
1) A stationary PC with a Linksys PCI network adapter. Newest Driver available.2) A laptop computer with a PCMCIA network adapter from 3COM. Newest driver available.
Signal situation?
The stationary PC has got Exellent coverage allmost constantly. The laptop is weaker. The PCMCIA card is not so effective I guess? Low Good coverage.
The system is set up like this.
DHCP disabled. WPA-PSK TKIP encryption (HEX63) Mac filter (Yes I know it sucks)
What have I tried?
I downloaded "Network Stumbler" to see if any other networks were interfering on the same channels that I used. I ended up finding pretty good signal/noise ratio on my channel 6. Fine. But I have to mention that I live a place with aprroximately 10 wireless netwoks within range.
I am running out of ideas? Where can I tweak/test/whatever to get my network in shape?
Thank you in advance..!
