Reduce wirelss speed to particular device

[tom_falconer]

Hi there,

I have a D-link Gigabit wireless router which works great but 1 particular wireless device of mine functions/works faster when i have a 100mbps Ethernet connection to it.

Is it possible to slow down the wireless speed to a particular device?

Ideally i want my router to continue functioning as normal but i can't afford to have a 20m Cat5 cable running from my router through my hallway and into the living area. I want to slow the connection down to 100mbs for this one device.

thanks in advance.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't sort out what you want. Of course something running off ethernet would be faster than wireless, but how would slowing down a wireless connection to something do anything for this?

You can't slow down wireless to that one device unless you can change the speed of it's network card.

You may want to explain things a bit better, what you wrote really does not make sense.

Your wireless is very very unlikely to be running at 100mbs in real usage, and slowing it down will not make it faster at all. Would your car go faster if you removed half the cylinders?
