Hi !
I just installed a D-Link DI-624 router to hang my 2 home computers to
the internet and create a small lan. One of the computers is wired
while the other has a wireless capability.
When both computers are connected using a Cat-5 cable, everything goes
fine.
When I use the wireless connexion, the transfer speed is very low,
despite the signal strength is reported as high by Windows (XP-Pro
sp2). For example, copying a 5 Meg file from one computer to the other
takes several minutes. This performance is observed even with the
laptop is at less than 6 feet from the router.
This doesn't only occurs with network operations but with internet as
well.. For example, Outlook Express times out while sending e-mails
with attachments !
The router security is temporarily set to a minimal level - just to
make sure it's not what is causing the problem.
Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting this problem ?
Thanks.
