Hi
The situation is still the same. I have installed and run netstumbler on the laptop. I found my own network and two others. I moved my own broadband onto channel 2 as this wasnt been used by any other network. It didnt make any difference.
At the weekend the wireless speeds were as low as 3.75kb even with the wireless router right beside the laptop. Again it worked perfectly via wired option.
Eventually I may move the router and telephone socket closer to my desktop PC. When I know I am getting very good speeds via wireless on the laptop.
At the moment with the current setup, the wireless router is in the kitchen (main and only phone socket is there), desktop is upstairs, laptop moves around. We have two different people using the broadband.
We both get roughly the same speeds via wireless (150kb download, its shows up as 3mb connection on speed test page).
The router is capable of 54MBps wireless, so are both wireless cards, would 108MBps router and wireless cards make much difference.
Obviously the Smart connection is fine (although it did go down to 3.3MBps a few times and its supposed to be 4MBps), is their anything else I can do to improve my wireless speeds.
