Wireless internet speed has dropped.....

StevieP · 16 Nov 2008 at 15:47

I'm currently using a Linksys WAG54GS with Speedbooster and WUSB54 wirelss adaprtor for my internet connection and I've always had around a 6mb connection (maxes out at approx 750 kb/sec)

Anyway, just recently my wireless download speed has dropped through the floor! It seems to max out at around 70-100 kb/sec all of a sudden! :confused:

I know its the wireless because if I plug it into my PC via an ethernet cable it jumps back up to 750 kb/sec!!!

Anyone got any ideas?? - I need the wireless to be better because I also have my PS3 connected wirelessly!

Please help.....

Cheers,

Interference from elsewhere ?

Do you notice any speed difference when you change the channel etc ?

It seems to fluctuate, I thought I'd nailed it when I set it to channel 7 but it still seems to be bobbing up and down!!

You need to change the channel between 1, 6 and 11 - the rest all overlap with those (and each other).

I went through every channel there was (1-13) and seem to have got the best results from channel 13!?!? (although I'm going to keep monitoring it for a few days!)
