WIFI Problems Help!

jpn8801 · 01-24-2009, 01:46 AM

I have 2 pc's in other rooms of the house, the main one HP Pavilion a6000n is directly hooked up to a hub/router ActionTec GT704-WG that is being rented from VERIZON, the other HP Pavilion a6750f is hooked up to a Linksys Wireless-N USB Network adapter and is less then 30ft away, now the problem:

The PC using the Linksys network adapter is SO SLOW online, I mean, beyond pathetic- What's strange is that the connection I am getting is ALL 5 bars, PERFECT! ***? Is it that my router/hub sucks, do I need to invest in a linksys??? Help! SO Frusterated :(

When you mean slow, how slow it is. Bcuz slow is very subjective. How long does it take to load yahoo or google website.

Just for your info mixing 2 type of wireless will cause the entire wireless to run at the slowest of the 2 speed. In your case, the entire wireless will run at G speed and you will not reap the benefits of N wireless.

The same concept works if you have an 'A' or 'B' wireless client logged onto the router. Is any of your comp's experiencing this slowness you are talking about
