Re: Very slow speed on my network, need help
Sounds like a DNS problem.
Try pinging yahoo or google (e.g. ping -t www.yahoo.com). If it works then try again and again. Post the results.
Not sure what you meant by running FTP on LAN. Do you have an FTP server running on the LAN? If so then did you try connecting from one LAN computer to the other? |

| When I ping a regular website like google, the ping time fluctuates between like 69 and 83, and about every 6th to 7th ping times out. Judging by the results from pinging the site, it seems like it should be able to load properly at least, but it is VERY rare that it will actually be able to finish loading www.google.com. Maybe it could be a DNS problem, because that's one of the only things I don't really know about and haven't messed with. All the DNS options for now are pretty much set to automatic/default. Information on that would be nice. Based on the tests that I've done (especially having the wireless card a few feet away from AP), I can only think that the router somehow isn't configured properly, or I just happened to get a bad
piece of hardware. The wireless card did not work properly in either PC I tested it in, despite having a 100% signal strength/quality. It, and the router are both made by Linksys, though, so I think I am going to call their tech support and see if they have anything useful to tell me. Thanks again
Oh yeah about the FTP site on the LAN. I ran a temporary FTP site on this computer to test...and I tried to connect to it (LAN IP)from the PC with the wireless card in it. It connected, and tried to list files, but never got finished..same exact problem as with the websites.

| I've got a cordless phone right here but it's 900mHz .. I guess I should try disconnecting that. Anyways, we just ran a cable to network the PCs finally  But still going to try to get a card for my laptop and then I'll start trying to fix the problem again. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was my cordless phone..hmm, I dunno. I read the frequencies the router uses, and it's different from the phone, but worth a shot anyways..thanks. |

| Can anyone tell me whether it is 900 Mhz or 1.2 Ghz cordless phone that has impacted on wireless network? My 900 Mhz battery went dead after I install WLan. I have brought a new battery and it won't charge.
May be it is time for me to replace a phone. I need to find out whether I can still buy a cordless phone without impacting my existing Wlan.
Thanks |

This is not related to wireless. Your phone's charger circuit is non-functional! |
