457736 2006-05-25 16:12:00 I've got a laptop running XP, it connects via LAN (ADSL) no problem at all, but when i run it wirelessly (same router), it starts off ok, then gradually (after 20 minutes) the connection slows right down to a stop. IP and DNS are both specified (same as the LAN). I get windows to repair the connection, which works for a minute, then back to slow again?! There's no-one leaching bandwith either. Any ideas anyone, I'm stumped!
Thanks

Thats 2 hardware points, the router wireless equip, or the wireless device on the laptop.

You need to try this with another laptop & router.

457738 2006-05-26 11:56:00 the wireless connection works fine on another laptop, so it's not the router... i tried updating the driver for the network card, but still no change? modernape (9864)
