I have a Athlon 64 desktop PC with a D-Link KI-624s router plugged into a Westell Modem with Verizon DSL. I have a second PC PIII with USB1.1 and a Airnet USB pen adapter plugged into a USB port on the back of the computer.
One question I guess someone could answer for me.
The computer with the modem and the router says its running at 100Mbps. The PC with the Wireless Airnet USB Pen adapter says it running at 54 Mbps. I'm also getting a message that says it could run faster if I had a USB 2.Port. Is this whats cutting the speed in half. It has 2 jacks on the MB and 2 jacks on a PCI card. I think they are all USB 1.0. Can they be upgraded or do I need to get a newer 2.0 card? This an older PIII PC with a 933Mhz.
Also If I were to hardwire the second computer to the router would this increase the speed?:4-dontkno
Thanx!
