Hello,
Hope some of you folks can help me out and thanks in advance!
I just got this Acer laptop with a Broadcom 802.11g wireless card built in!
I also had a Toshiba ,which my husband is using now, which has an Intel pro
2200BG built in! We are running a wireless home network using a D-link
DI-624 http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=6. Now, with the Toshiba which is
a year old I get internet speed of 2200-2500 kbps when next to the router
and in
the 1700kbps when in my office upstairs! The new Acer hardly gets 1400 kbps
when next to the router and 400-600 kbps when upstairs!!
I assumed before buying that the Acer should perform better, or at lease the
same, knowing that it had a dedicated G card unlike the Toshiba which has a
B/G card! Do I have a faulty card or is this just a matter of settings? It
is new so I can always take it back or replace it! Thank you for your time
and hope to hear from you!
