Hi,
I'm using a Belkin F5D7632-4 router conencted to my ADSL line, and then
from there I have an MSI CB54G2 cardbus in the laptop, and an MSI PC54G2
on the PC. The PC and router are very close (around 15ft), but the
laptop is often used upstairs (around 35ft) from the router. However,
while I get a good signal while I'm up there, the link speed varies
immensely from 54Mbps to as low as 1Mbps. It also won't resolve an IP
address for the laptop unless I physically come downstairs nearer to the
router (anywhere on the ground floor seems to work fine). Now, I'm
thinking it can't all be out of range, so why does this happen? I've
tried moving around upstairs and going into different rooms, and I get
the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards,
ThePotato
