Question ID: 408161
I'm running a Belkin wireless setup(802.11G) with 2 computers hard
lined in and one wireless. The hard lined computers use the internet
with no problems and works great. The wireless computer, however,
reports "Good" to "Very Good" connections via the wireless however,
everything is still slow. Lots of timeouts and when it is running, its
only a few K/second.  Even accessing the router page takes along time,
so it's not just the internet connection.  How can I get this working
correctly?

There is no answer at this time.

Dear quickgold

You could try discarding your external USB wireless adaptor and use a
PCI based one. (my assumption)

USB devices rely on drawing it's own power from the USB port of the
computer. Some motherboards particulary VIA, do not supply enough
power to some USB devices. You will probably find that during heavy
downloads, your connection hangs.

You could swop your motherboard, but changing to a cheap $20-25 dollar
wireless PCI adaptor would be the best option.

The reciever I'm using right now is a PCI card not USB.
