Re: Slow speed, what is wrong?
Ok, I did set it on 64bit on my XP machine. Speed remains the same, even a bit lower.
Then, I disabled WEP at all. Speed is the same, I get 900Kb up and 360Kb down. "Down" speed is very OK but "UP" speed is like twice as slow (at least) [nervous breakdown follows]. My comp is sitting next to the router since I didn't have time to move the router. I'm getting almost 100s on link strength and quality. I have no idea what can be wrong. Do I have to call in tech support? Could it be a router thing? Now I somehow doubt that it is due to WEP since with no WEP I'm getting about the same speed. Ah!!!  Why me? Why now? ...just a few questions I have...

Oakton, VA | If you disabled WEP and you are still getting slow speeds even with 100% signal strength it has to be the router.
Try returning it for a Netgear, D-Link, Lynksys...etc. |

Probably not the problem since you still get good speeds on wireless, but don't forget you can get slow speeds on cable if lots of people are using it in your area.
This may also sound strange, but try moving the two wireless devices further apart. With my linksys card I have sometimes noticed a reduction in speed when I am closer to my AP!
Neither of these are brilliant ideas, but it sounds like you have tried everything else, it must be worth a go?
