Problem with my WLAN connection!

Post by enarceus »

My laptop uses a WLAN connection and I connect when I use it at home to my Linksys router. When I start using the Internet, my connectivity is 54 Mbps during my connection. Then my connectivity drops from 54 to 1.1 Mbps and makes my system slow and sometimes disconnects me from my router. What causes this? Any idea! Reply me!

Latest firmware?
Latest windows updates?
Unique SSID?
Try a different channel?
In other words...see the sticky suggestion thread at top of this forum
Run any P2P programs?
PC clean from malware/adware/spyware?
Security being used?

Nobody can say for sure if a different channel will solve your problem, as we cannot determine...from where we are, your situation. However...for MANY people with wireless performance issues, trying a different channel can help their wireless performance, and/or get rid of issues. Reasons? There are many, as wireless is a very dynamic situation that varies from location to location ...neighboring wireless networks may be on the same default channel as you are, so moving to a different one like 1 or 11 can help.

I was not originally reviewing this topic with you all, but actually just recently searched for it and found it - as I was havin the same problem (windows saying not connected when I could actually still surf the web, then it would drop me after a while).
I changed the channel and the ssid and it works great.

Thanks,

JR
