internet Speed, Broadcom 802.11g and Intel PRO/2200BG?

Used both, same results! Thanks.

Doug, I think you missed read me! We have no problem with the Intel BG 2200 on the Toshiba, that is the one that is doing good! The problem is with the Broadcom card on the Acer! I don't think I can use Intel drivers on a Broadcom card plus my Acer has an AMD CPU, I don't think Intel would play well with AMD (:-... Thanks anyway!

You are correct, the BG2200 is defaulted to B and G mode! As for the Acer card, it only performs in the G mode! I set the DI-624 to G mode only but again, no improvement! Thanks again Doug.

Hi, Thanks again!

No Xpress! As far as I can tell, it is standard G! I heard somewhere long time ago that some manufacturers limit the bandwidth speed of their cards for some reasons! I am trying to think where I read or heard that but I am drawing blanks!! When you need it....

Yes, The transmission is set to 100% on the card! I checked that last night under the advanced settings for the card.

It is just annoying because I am paying, I think, too much money to get

Hi,

My laptop is the Acer Ferrari 4005

Card has the latest drivers from Broadcom!

Thanks again!

are you using XP also when configuring the your wifi connection on the Acer are you using Windows Zero Wireless Configuration or Acer spropeity wireless configuration software - I would swap and see if this makes a difference

Go to the Intel website, download then install the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software v.9.0.2.1 for the BG2200 card. I had similar problems with my latest notebook pc and the Intel PROSet/Wireless software v9.0.2.1 took care of the problem. In my opinion, the Intel Software is a great deal better than the Windows XP WZC Utility. Give it a try. You can always uninstall if it does not solve your problem. Take care.

does the Acer use the new Broadcom 54g or Xpress Technology to get a far superior connection than the standard 802.11g - I would disable the Xpress Technology on the Acer Broadcom wireless and see if this improves performance as I suspect the DLink does not support this method therefore you are getting a poor connection/speed.

You're right. My apologies. You mentioned that your Acer had a dedicated G card in it. Are you saying that it only performs in "G" mode? or is it set to only perform in "G" mode? If you mean the latter, you might try changing the mode in the DI-624 from the default (B and G) to just G or change the card's setting to both B and G. I think the BG2200 is defaulted to B and G mode.

have you checked to see you have the transmit signal or 100% or full - have you changed the channel number etc.

also check for any settings on the DLink AP

Please provide the exact make and model of your Acer PC and we'll go from there. Also, are you currently using encryption? If so, does your speed increase without encryption being enabled. Is the DI-624 near any items of interference, i.e., microwave, cordless phone, etc. If your Acer card isn't a super G card, disable super g in the DI-624 and set it to channel 11. Enable SSID. Reboot the Acer and report back. Oh, and download the latest drivers for the Acer card f you haven't done so already.

Google is your friend!
