Even when the Laptop (wireless) is only a meter away from the Router without any obstructions in between. I have tried changing the channels but no significant improvement; the Internet download speed is usually 50 - 100% slower than my wired desktop. I am using a Linksys WRT54GX Router with D-Link DSL 502T ADSL modem. Is there a way to improve the situation or that's the way it is and to live with it? Cheers	bk T (215)

What is it? 11.b or 11.g, or 11.n (Don't think its 11.n). I have quite good wireless security setup with WPA and MAC address enabled. It is very unlikely that someone else is 'sharing' my Internet! It is 11.g	bk T (215)

507463	2006-12-17 23:28:00	look at these wireless antennas that give u a better signal: www.dse.co.nz it says it's better than the current aerial you get with your wireless router. hey does anyone know how much dBi the wi-fi aerials that come with wireless routers have? The aerial at dse has 7dBi.	lance4k (4644)
507464	2006-12-17 23:36:00	update: I just found out the antennas that come including with wireless routers are only 2dBi. wow. So i get about 2Mbps from about 30 metres away,so if i got the 7dBi aerials i'd get at least triple that which would be 6Mbps.	lance4k (4644)
