 Slow connection (1.0mbps) yet excellent signal?

Wireless card - Belkin HSM Wireless G Desktop Network Card - Part # F5D7001uk
Router - Belkin ADSL2+ Modem with HSM Wireless-G Router - Part # F5D7633-4 (The Part # in the link is F5D7633uk4A)

I have set a wireless network up at home, but the wireless connection on my computer just isn't working properly. I'll run you through what happens
[*]I enable the Wireless Network Connection
[*]It says 'Acquiring Network Address'
[*]It connects but says theres 'Limited or no connectivity'
[*]The 'Limited or no connectivity' warning then goes away but the connection speed drops
[*]The connection speed keeps dropping until finally it drops to 1.0 mbps and stays there

The connection names are different because I renamed it whilst I was taking the print screens so take no notice of that :P

[*]I can't connect to the network or internet unless I then ping the router for a few minutes

[*]I can then browse the internet and do things on the network etc but at a very slow 1mbps, the latency on games is an unplayable 800+ms

I've tried:
[*]Disabling the wired connection
[*]Re-installing the driver
[*]Re-installing the connection software
[*]Updating the driver to the newest version
[*]Disabling the Belkin wireless configurer and enabling the windows one
[*]Moving the router next to the computer (It's usually only 3meters away anyway
[*]Using the Windows repair feature
[*]Using DHCP
[*]Entering the I.P etc manually
[*]Disabling the Firewall
[*]Using Windows update
[*]Changing the speed rating in the device manager to force it to 54 mbps - It couldn't find the connection at all then
[*]Using a wired keyboard and removing the wireless one
[*]Checking the antenna is in correctly

I should also note a few things:
[*]My girlfriends wireless connection works perfect, we use the same type of wireless card
[*]My wireless card used to work, then I stopped using it for about 3 months now I want to start using it again.

Hope someone can help! :huh:

I assume that your wireless router has some unique SSID that you establised, rather than the manufacturer's default. If the default is used, your client may try to connect to that SSID from an neighbor's access point which also has the default SSID. Next, make sure your access point has at least WEP 128 enabled with a 26 hex-digit key that you enter. You'll need to use the same key and SSID at the client side.

On your desktop, that PCI card you have will work if the access point is not too far away. I think buying a USB WiFi NIC for your desktop is better since with a 10 ft USB cable you can elevate the antenna.

"limited or no connectivity" usually means the client associated to the access point but could not get an IP address from the DHCP server in the access point. This might be due to encryption configuration errors. Or your client it trying the wrong SSID.

Another thing to try is to go in to Windows XP networking for the wireless NIC and un-check the let windows manage option. Then find and use the vendor's software for the wireless card - instead of Window's built-in. The vendor's software is usually better and allow you to clearly state which SSID and encryption setup you want, and save that profile under a name like "my home WLAN".

Lastly, disable the access point's "turbo speed" option. This is marketing BS by Belkin (and others) since they use techniques that are not in the 802.11g WiFi standard. The client and access point have to be the same vendor/standard for this to potentially work, and it has coexistence problems.

It has a unique SSID yeah, I did have WEP enabled but i've been trying different encryption levels and none at all etc.

I was thinking about getting one of those to replace the antena but for the minute i'll concentrate on trying to get it working, another note is my girlfriends computers is further away from the router than mine is.

I've tried manually entering I.P information with the same results except the "limited or no connectivity" error doesn't come up

By default the vendors software was in control, i've tried both windows and Belkin's software yet I get the same result

I've tried doing that as well same result ^^ besides they are of the same standard.

I'm not going to give up i'll get this working if it kills me ._.

Have you tried testing your computer in the same room with your girlfriends? Pure distance isn't always the only problem. There are many possible reasons for your problem.

The fact that you are at all able to ping the router at least says you are connecting. The fact that you can't ping it consistently says your signal is being blocked, somehow.

Be absolutely sure that the Belkin and Windows software is NOT conflicting! I had problems with mine, until I cleaned my autostarts, and removed WZC and HPWM from autostart. I use the Intel manager - your preference may vary, but just use one.

I downloaded Autoruns and stopped it from loading WZCSVC, it's improved it slightly in that I can use the connection quite quickly after i've enabled it, the main problem still remains though!

So what differences are there between your computer and your girlfriends? Identify both hardware and software differences.

Try running NetStumbler on both computers, and comparing the signal strength graphs.

Let's keep at it, then. Patience and persistence, and you may solve it. Most networking problems are indeed frustrating.

I've been playing around some more and found a few things out.

[*]Only channel 2 & 12 work for the wireless network the rest don't (net Stumbler says that theres only one wireless network in range though which is ours)
[*]in the advanced adapter properties my girlfriend IBSS Channel Number is 13 and has a range of 1-13 mine is 11 and has a range of 1-11 we both have the same driver version this seems pretty strange.

Where are you located? We only have 11 channels here. Were both of your computers manufactured and distributed in (for) your country?

What WiFi hardware and drivers are on your computers? Where are both computers in relation to the AP? Horizontally, and vertically? Where are the antennas on the computers? The AP?

Once again, please read my article for background ideas:

The US and several others permit the use of only channels 1-11; 12-14 are legal in some countries (in the EU I think).

This has nothing to do with your problem though.

With such strong signals I'd forget worrying about antennas and RF things. I think you have a Windoze config mess.

Can you borrow a USB WiFi NIC to try?

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Your girlfriends computer is right straight thru the wall from your router. You are at an angle.

•Draw a line from your girlfriends computer "Girlfriends" to the router "Router".
•Draw a second line from your computer "mine" to the router "Router".
•Compare the length of the 2 lines, where they pass thru the wall. Breeze blocks (like sheetrock I think) is NOT transparent to radio waves, especially high frequency / low wave length WiFi. I'm guessing that the width of the wall, at your angle, is like 2 x the width of the wall at right angle. That may not be your only problem, but it's one to consider.

If your diagram is accurate, the line between your computer and the router passes right thru the edge of the doorway. Doorways are generally framed with wood, which is denser than breeze blocks. Do people ever walk thru the doorway? If so, they pass right between your computer and the router.

With you and your girlfriends antennas the same height, that's probably not a major factor but how far off the floor is the router?

Do you and your girlfriend, then, have the same WiFi card and driver version?

And, as Steve indicated, your geographical location is not directly relevant to your problem. But maybe there's a clue there - and stranger things can happen. I worked on a computer problem one time where a doctor from Eastern Europe was causing a system crash - he was substituting commas (",") and periods (".") for each other. Finding THAT was a lot of fun. Details can matter.

Yeah that was one of my first thoughts, that's why I tried moving the router next to my computer. when I moved the router it was place on the floor at ground level. The result was still the same as usual though.

We have the same WiFi card and the same driver, I should also mention that I recently re-installed windows on her machine so had to re-install the drivers and software, it worked straight the way without updates etc but I ofc updated them anyways.

Those are breeze blocks. Whoa. In USA, we have a similar construction called cinderblocks (larger and slightly less dense). This things are thick and heavy, and I can see them blocking WiFi. You'd have to shoot the signal thru at right angles to have a prayer of getting thru.

OK, you thought of all of that anyway. And, with the router next to your computer, you had the same results. Darn.

Client (computer) antennas 15cms elevation, Server (AP) 100cm. That's a significant vertical angle. But still - same for both computers.

What about placement of antenna relative to computer. PCI, stuck to back of computer.

So, let's enumerate all of the possibilities, and try not to overlook anything. Go thru my article. Compare the possibilities, what could be different between your girlfriends, and your, computer.

•Software / firmware. Same on both computers.
Software / WiFi managers? DOHH. »nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/01/s···ifi.html
•Hardware. Same on both computers.
•Antenna placement. Same on both computers.
•Antennas pointed properly - vertically (baseline) / parallel (preferable) on both computers and router?
•Relative location. Tested same on both computers.
•Neighbors / external interference. Same on both computers.

Swap cards between computers, or declare yours defective. That's the final solution, but a lot of work. So go thru my list, dismiss everything, maybe it will make you think of something I've overlooked?

I'm going to firmware the router in a while and hope that that's the problem if not i'll switch our cards around. Let's hope it's some sort of software error rather than a defective card >quote:

Kinda sounds to me like your wireless card has a defective antenna or it builds up static.. I mean if it doesn't happen on hers then it must be something with your computer. I would buy a different card and try that, or take hers out of her computer and try it on yours

Update:

I put the newest firmware on the router, it gives the same result as before.

I've tried switching my girlfriends and my WiFi cards around that also gives the same result which means that the problem is Software related... this is so annoying, what could be doing this? I've disabled the WZC Service, re-installed the drivers and software for the card, updated the drivers and still no difference.

Identical hardware and drivers / firmware, and the problem stays on your computer? You're on the right track, it sounds like something unique to your computer. Is it software?

Well, if it's a software problem, let's treat this like a malware / process inventory issue. Consider 3 products, all free:
•Autoruns. Inventories what known products are autostarted on your computer.
»nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/e···Autoruns
•HijackThis. Inventories all processes autostarted, and all processes actively running, on your computer.
»nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/e···l#Merijn
•Process Explorer. Provides a real-time display of all visible processes running on your computer.
»nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/e···Explorer

Try running Process Explorer, and watching it and the NetStumbler display simultaneously.

Run Autoruns and HijackThis on both computers, save the logs, and compare the 4 logs. NOTE: Both Autoruns and HijackThis will throw a lot of details at you. Don't go killing processes (all too easy to do), just run the programs and save the logs.

Ok i've been trying alot of things including flashing the BIOS (that was scary :P)

I also tried booting Windows up in safe mode with networking and STILL the same problem.

Anyway I decided to probe my motherboard a bit and found something interesting. The 3.3v power was giving an output of only 2.7-2.8v

12v = 11.985
5v = 5.094
3.3v = 2.7v

I used the Asus Probe and it gave me an error that the volatge was below threshold and in the BIOS the 3.3v text was in red. Maybe the low volatge is the reason for the slow connection?


Motherboard: P5GDC-V Deluxe
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro PCIe
Sound Card: Creative Audigidy 2 zs

What would be causing the problem, how could I fix it? If you need anymore information just ask.
