Like many others, I'm new to this wireless game, so would very much
appreciate a bit of help.
I'm trying to set up a simple ad-hoc network between a desktop, with a
Linksys WMP54G-EU PCI card, and an IBM Thinkpad T30, with a Linksys
WPC54G-EU PC Card. Although they're currently sitting only about four
feet apart, the best speed I can get is 1 Mbps. The signal strength is
shown as "excellent".
In fact, they seem to start up at a higher speed, but as soon as I
actually try to do anything, like open folders, the speed drops to 1
Mbps and stays there.
I'm in a small village, and I can't see any obvious sources of
interference.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong (assuming my aspirations should
be a little higher than 1 Mbps)?
