Re: Is it time to retire my Linksys WRT54GX2?

Excellent signal strength - Yes
Channels - How do I change channels? is that done with my wireless card? or on the router page?
Encryption - 64-bit WEP
Transmit errors - 17%, is that high?

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I'll try that link you left me, and get back to you.

Channel selection is done at the router. The laptops will follow.

WEP is not a good choice for speed. It's also not the best choice for security. If the equipment supports WPA, move to that. Safer and faster.

17% retransmits is high. You should see very few. That's at least half of your problem. They usually result from interference and changing the channel may help with that. Interference sources include 2.4GHz wireless phones, wireless home security systems, wireless security cameras and other wireless networks.
