TimPawlak Posted November 11, 2006 CID Share Posted November 11, 2006 there is a 90% chance you won't get your adv. speed on wireless.. it all depends on what appliances you are running near the router/antenna "ie: microwaves... etc" what is your signal? how far are you away from the router? yes, try cablenut.. try one of van's cablenut settings thanks, TimPawlak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimPawlak Posted November 11, 2006 CID Share Posted November 11, 2006 that is exactly the same router as I have.. go into your router and set the wireless channel to 11 and that should help the speed a little.. if that doesnt do it.. try 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
