Re: How fast should it be?
Wireless is never the speed of a dedicated Line like a RJ-45 connection. If you look on reviews of G cards the average you will get is about 20 - 22 MBPS on a 54 g card. And the futher you are away the less you will get. Some G cards even offer less. The Dlink is one of them that is horrible on transfer speeds with their G wireless. And the netgear was rated the best at 42 MBPS. So dont be fooled by the G card 54 MBPS there is yet to be a card to acutally go that speed.
For my wireless network, I transfer Tivo/Tvshows from my PC laptop to my other computer. about 1.20 GB and it takes like 9 minutes. And this is normal. On a B wireless network it takes about 50 minutes for the same file. But on a 100 Link direct connected it takes about 2 minutes

| Thanks guys, I've just done a test at home and a 3MB file took 9 minutes to copy! Obviously I have a problem. All the time during the copy though wireless signal strength was shown as excellent. I must have a config problem somewhere....I'm not expecting speeds to match a hard wired setup, but as you can see, I'm a million miles away from those speeds at the moment.
Thanks,

| OK, that is bad.
If you haven't already, try the Tweak Test on the BBR tools page. Also try a couple of different channels to see if some are better than others.
Are there any 2.4GHz phones in use?
