FastShoes Posted February 25, 2011 CID Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hello, I'm Luis and new to the forums. Here is what I've been dealing with for some time. I had a Belkin Wireless G setup with a wireless extender since my signal was very low on different levels of the house. I decided to upgrade to a N network. I purchased a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router and connect with my HP Pavillion 6700 with Win 7 laptop via an AirLink101 AWLL6075 Wireless N Mini USB Adapter. My issue is that I connect wirelessly with my laptop and sometimes get great speeds. Then other times it slows to a crawl just minutes after I post a good speed. Wireless test (2mb) Wired test (15 mb) I can't exclusively use N band since I connect with a cell phone, iphone, wii, and tivo wirelessly. I have a PS3 and Xbox connected to the router (and think browsing on the PS3 with the new router seems slow). I think the slow speeds have to do with my laptop and not the router, but I could be wrong. I have all my items on a dynamic dns. Any ideas on what I can do to improve and keep my wireless speed high, that would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastShoes Posted February 28, 2011 Author CID Share Posted February 28, 2011 It was a change of router channel and location, location, location. Using Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector really helped. Xirrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
