| 1114207 | 2010-06-28 07:16:00 | Using a new Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn Wireless 'n' Router on a MSI Wind U100 netbook runnng Windows XP will all XP patches, which has Wireless 'n'. The signal strength says 'Excellent'. The speed fluctuates wildly from 135Mbs to 13.5Mbs with values such as 121Mbs, 54Mbs, in seconds. I am using WPA-PSK, TKIP on channel 11. Sometimes, I can connect to my network and other times I cannot. Even when it does says 135Mbs it runs like a dog. I have had a DSE Wireless 'g' router for a couple of years and the speed has never been an issue (for a Netbook)), nor connecting to it Is there anything I can check or clear. At the moment I cannot connect, in spite of connecting only 30 minutes ago. In spite of being able to connect 30 minutes ago, now I cannot. I can see my wireless network. At the moment I am in the same room as the wireless router. Normally, the Netbook is downstairs. I downloaded NetStumbler and it says Signal+=-37 (everybody else is -82 to 84) and there is only my wireless router on channel 11. I have Ccleaned the disk (disk space and registry). Also, everytime I try and connect manually, it ask me for my Network Key. Edit> Just tried a Repair and it failed when trying to renew the IP Address. |

I will try it, I have also tried WPA2-PSK and AES, but it didn't seem to make a difference (at the time). |

| 1114210 | 2010-06-28 09:10:00 | Just checked my settings again.. Channel 11 Mode: bgn mixed WPA2-PSK AES Here (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 1114211 | 2010-06-28 21:26:00 | Tried WPA2-PSK, AES with no success, but I am sure that has nothing to do with it. In fact, 12 hours later it has finally connected. The line keeps dropping to 13.5Mbs and the line does drop frequently. Even when it says 135Mbs it is very slow and unusable. I have checked as many settings as I possibly can. Now that it is connected, I have tried the router 1 metre from the Netbook as well as being downstairs in the kitchen. Still no difference. The Netbook uses a 802.11bgn 1T2R Mini card Wireless from Ralink Technology, Version 1.1.3.0. Anyone any other suggestions. |

| 1114213 | 2010-06-28 21:43:00 | I am not using a network cable (I have and I have no problems, I only have problems with wireless). I have 1 desktop PC hardwired to the router - no issues 1 netbook connecting wirelessly - very slow. Frequent dropout with this modem/router |

| 1114214 | 2010-06-28 22:07:00 | try to change the channel. have you tried to use it under WPA - std? Tried WPA2? What's the wifi device on the netbook? on 2nd thought it should not be the std cos eventually the netbook does connect to it ..... try to change the channel. no cordless phones etc in the way? |
