![]() ![]() Also, I am disenchanted with USB adapters and manufacturer interoperability. Try transferring files the other direction and see if the problem remains. When idle the connection is not transferring a large amount of data but when you start to transfer large amounts of data the calculations will start to drop. I agree that the connection bitrates as Windows defines them are a rough guess at bes. If the router is operating in mixed mode b/g/n then when you enabled WEP the adapter probably connected in g mode which is capped at 54Mbps. So as soon as I noticed that I put it back to WPA2.ĪFAIK WEP and 802.11n are not compatible. Instead of my WLAN speed being in the upper 100s it topped out at 54Mbps (ala Wireless G mode). I tried using 128 bit WEP encryption and this made matters worse. Installed adapter in ghetto modded strainer to boost signal.ĭoes this have to do with the WPA2 encryption? Is it slowing the adapter so it can decrypt the file on my other computer? Installed latest drivers for USB adapter. Why is this and is there anything I can do to fix it? As soon as I transfer files from this computer to my main computer the connection drops to 70Mbps-108Mbps. Typically when the internet and network connections are idle it hovers in the 145Mbps-175Mbps range. The computer I use the most, besides my main machine, has a Linksys WUSB300N adapter. ![]() Major_A wrote:I have a Belkin Surf (N 300) wireless router and the rest of my non-LAN computers are plugged in with wireless N adapters. Thanks for the suggestion to Vistnumbler, I'll have to check it out later and report back. NIC status right now: 243Mbps Signal Strength: 4 out of 5 bars. The router is set to broadcast in B, G, and N.ĭ: How do I check dB? I've seen it in Everest and it's reported as following: I've seen it peak uploading to another computer in the lower 200Mbps range.Ĭ: Yes but it wasn't connected to the network at that time. If you get the time it's a Belkin Surf.ī: Don't know. There's other tools, but are not free and have limited chipset support on the adapter side.Ī: I believe it's full N not draft. Something like Vistumbler can show this - simple free tool You should be checking signal quality via dB and not Mbit You might get a link reported as ~108Mbit but due to packet loss and interferance the throughput is usually a lot lower. It also doesn't account for packet loss, which is a major issue for wifi.

Especially 802.11g devices? The router proly falls back to G mode then and can't do both G and N at the same time.ĭ:Also, windows (& Linux) is terrible for not reporting signal strenght and link speed incorrectly for WiFi. ![]()
