Abnormally slow wireless connection

nareen123, on Saturday May 24, 2008 01:17:54 PM
Hello,


I recently bought a Dynex enhanced wireless g router and usb adaptor for my home network. I network two computers, one an XP and the other a vista (both desktops) on a cable internet connection. The vista is wireless. The Xp has no problems. The vista on the other hand, takes forever to connect. For instance, this site took about 2 minutes to load. Here are the wireless adaptors settings:
Afterburner: Enabled
BSS PLCP header: Auto (short/long)
Fragmentation threshold: 2346
IBSS 54g mode: 54g auto
IBSS 54g protection mode: Auto
IBSS channel number: 11
Locally administered MAC address: n/a
Power output: 100%
Power save mode: Disable
Rate: 54
Recieve buffer: 64
Reset Dongle after disable: Enabled
Roam Tendency: moderate
Roaming decision: Optimize bandwidth
RTS threshold: 2347
Transmit buffer: 20
Wireles settings: Enabled
WMM: Auto
Xpress technology: enabled

any help is appreciated. thanks
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hai


First. I know its a hassle. But to rule out the (vista) computer settings you need to physically connect the vista computer to the ethernet where your xp is and see if the speed is still slow. If it's not, its clearly a wireless and or driver/software issue
If it is, then its a much deeper issue with more trail and error diagnostics.
There are also several things to take into factor.

What usb wifi adapter do you have?
Try and go online and see if there are any later drivers for this?
What is your link quality for the wifi?
Are you using the vista wifi or the usb adapter wifi program?
If your using the usb program. There might be a conflict between vista (sense it automatically runs wifi connection at start up by default)

I recommend the vista wifi and just disable the usb adapter program. but you can do vise versa as well. either way one should be disabled to prevent any kind of conflicts at all.

Also, how far this the computer away from the wifi? this could be an issue. Are there a lot of thick walls? are you close to your your circut breaker box? or are you close to your dishwasher and or dryer/washer?
