Wireless network speed question

Ben Cole · 5 Nov 2007 at 21:47

When connected via network cable at the router the internet speed it 6.5 -7 Mb/s however when connecting via wireless I am down to 512k- 1Mb.

Is this normal?

If not how do I increase this?

Netgear stuff... all 54Mbps stuff.

DG834G router and (at the moment) WG511v2 card on my laptop.

Given the rated speed of all the equipment I'm surprised it's proving to be the bottleneck.

Must be a setting I haven't changed I thinking?

Tends not to matter. There's a big drop in speed even when I'm only 2 yards away.

Using latest firmware and did switch about channels just to maintain a connection.

I'll give it another try to see if the speeds increase.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
