Stupidly slow wireless

divine` · 14 Nov 2006 at 20:29

My wireless network connection is running pathetically slowly.

I'm connected to the router at a strength of 4/5 bars with the speed at a solid 54Mbps...

Yet browsing is mind numbingly slow, downloads peak at about 3KB/s and the router admin panel takes forever to load which says to me its something about my PC and the Router and not the net connection...

Any ideas why it would be doing this so randomly? It was fine a few days ago, not installed anything, not changed any firewall settings etc. :confused:

Can you do a ping to your router, see if there is any mahosive latency?

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 4ms, Average = 2ms

Doesn't look to be anything awry there...

Testing Connectivity to modem
Testing Ethernet LAN connection PASS

Testing ADSL Connection
Testing ADSL Synchronization PASS

Testing Network Connection
Testing ATM OAM segment ping FAIL
Testing ATM OAM end to end ping FAIL

Testing Internet Connectivity
Ping Primary Domain Names Server PASS

Guessing that could have something to do with it, but I have no idea what that means?

Knowing what router and wireless adapter you have might help somewhat.

Router: D-Link G624T
Adaptor: D-Link G510 PCI Card

(Everyone else in the house is using the same card with the same drivers with no issues)

Try WinsockXPfix and make sure that your DNS settings are correct.
