Hi! I had a Notebook working on a wireless lan (both AP and notebook's adapter are 802.11g compatible) at 54mbps, although, sometimes, and for no apparent reason, it'd go down to 48 o 36mbps WithOut moving the notebook from it's place; but i could accept that . what i don't understand is that yestarday i switched from my old WindowsXP Home SP2 to a Windows XP Media Center SP2 and Now i Only get



11Mbps !!!!!!!. The network card was configured to work at 802.11 b only so i switched it into "g" But Still 11Mbps! I don't know what's happening!.

thanks-



You can try changing channels, as well as rebooting the router and making sure that the antennae aren't pointing in a direction that would reduce signal transmission.

Normal. Many adapters report full speed when no data is flowing. The real speed is only reported when data is flowing.

Still sounds like "b" only mode.

What is an i?

54 Mbps is fine.

Any of the better/major brands: Buffalo, D-Link, Linksys, Netgear.

I don't understand, i had windows Xp Home which reported 54mbps, sometimes 48mbps, i went to XP pro and i got 11mbps so i put windows Xp Home back again and i'm still with 11mbps. I SAW it working at more than 11mbps!, and when i copied files through it felt like more than 11mbps. Also, when i set my AP to work at -802.11 G only- my notebook couldn't find it anymore so i had to set the AP back to its B + G mode. I have a notebook that says It's B+G compliant and a AP that claims that too. I saw them working at 54mbps and now they refuse to do it again.

What should i check? (i already tried changing channels and rebooting the AP as suggested)
