Strange Speed problem over wireless network

[GerryA]

I have 2 PC's in house, one wired to (new) netgear router. Gets 2.6Mbps dwn ~380 Kbps up on Internet speed test. On same router via (11Mbps) network connection (signal 100%) I only get ~380 Kbps Dwn, but get same speed up up (~ 350Kbps).

Logic suggests it must be the wlreless link thats doing this. Any suggestions?

Is there an indicator which tells you that you are getting 100% signal? Wire up the one you have as wireless now and see what speeds your getting. If your getting higher download speeds than with the wireless then thats the problem. If your getting the same reading then the problem lies elsewhere.

Old thread alert!

Stab in the dark here, but is'nt wireless inherently half duplex, it can't do tx/rx at the same time, where as most wired ethernet switches auto neg to full duplex.

This might have something to do with it.

Otherwise it's down to nic's.
