You probably have leeches using your bandwidth since you have no security enabled.
If you have a cordless phone that is using the same broadcast frequency as your WLAN that can cause interference. Or if a neighbor has a WLAN set to the same channel as yours that may cause problems as well.
No leeches since I can monitor who is connected to my router. Also there is no interference. Computers are next to each other and I have selected the optimal channel so that connection is close to 100% from the computers to the router.
Any other ideas ? This must be configuration problem with either windows or the router !
Well in the mean time since your speeds suck even for wireless g I would switch over to those. Just set up your router to only broadcast in g mode. Granted this bites and I would through a fit and return it but if you can't you can whether the storm in g mode until they fix it.
On a side note 30 mbps seems low for what you draft n guys are spending. My super g mimo set up does that with a $25 normal super g card and will do 40 if I spend the $70 for a supger g mimo card. Granted my stuff is prolly no longer supported but at least it works.

To my surprise, I have found out that the transfer rate is capped out at 5mbps on a ad hoc xp based network. The radio is capable of 54Mbps G transfer rates but OS will not allow this. see for yourself open up task manager and look at the wireless transfer rate...im looking for a fix, reg hack to work around this problem.
thanks,
