Belkin Wireless G Router and Wireless G Network card...

emsee · 23-10-2005, 02:03

Hello all i have quite a problem with my router... I bought it in the morning and since then i have had one problem... I have a Belkin Wireless G Router and Wireless G Network card... both 54 Mbps and they both are 802.11g - 2.4Ghz.. It was easy to install the router downstairs in the study and the internet was still at a great speed for surfing, and the downloading speed ranged from 200kbs to about 500kb's. The main point to get this router was so i can internet upstairs in my room which isnt very far from the router itself.. so i installed the Wireless netwrok card in the computer upstairs and it piked up that there was a router to connect to and it does load up web pages, but the main problem is the Signal Strength and the speed of the connection! The Signal Strength constantly stays between 40 and 50% and the speed just stays at 11Mbs and goes up to 18Mbs now and then!

Does anyone know what i can do to resolve this i dont want to buy more stuff!

any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! Thank You.

For surfing the web, the speeds you are getting 11MBPs + should be plenty.

HMMMM then y does it take 3 - 5 minutes to load one page? and the majority of the time it just doesnt load up? even by refreshing it again and again and exiting and restarting Internet Explorer doesnt help this nor does restarting the computer! so i think 11Mbs isnt enough to browse the web let alone download files!!! sorry for the sarcasm just a bit annoyed and upset!

Emsee which wireless channel are you on at the moment...go to http://192.168.2.1 and there go to Wireless and then Channel & SSID. if on 11 then change it to say channel 3. this should solve the problem.

also for other things I posted a link in Usefull IT information about belkin routers, wireless cards and stuff like that so perhaps if you read some of that info you get alot further.

what is a forum? a forum is used either for the following:-

Downloading - They are at times used to upload links that contain software, music or videos... which other members of that forum will download and give reputation to the thread starter...
Dating - Nowadays a lot of forums are put up so people from all over the world can meet and flirt or whateva with each other...
Information, News and Reviews - This is where a poster will put up an article say for example of new upcoming mobile phone and other useres will discuss it.. etc... give the latest news and information.
Help - Everyone knows the majority of forums are made so people can ask users questions, explain problems and ask for the solution... Am i wrong? it may sound very small but type something in google and most of the time 1 in every 5 links will be a forum where someone has asked a question or explained a problem where another user has tried to help him!

SO NOW HERES WHERE I COME IN! THATS WHAT AM USING THIS FORUM FOR THERE IS NO FORUM FOR HATERZ SO KEEP UR COMMENTS TO YOUSELF! B4 I GIVE U A VIRTUAL SLAP!

Have you done as has been suggested?

Log into your modems config page, go to "channel & SSID" from left menu & change your channel to another one much further away from the first.
I.E. 3 instead of 11.

Try reading the help files/manual for the router as it tells you about the channels in there, you may well be getting interfierence from someone elses network so changing channel can fix your problem.

Or have you got lead lined walls perhaps?

P.S. regarding your "What is a forum" post.
Yes a forum is for asking for help, but if you don't accept the help & instead ignor it then why should people try helping any more?

NOw try doing as the man first suggested, it won't hurt. do it on both your router & access devices so that they match.

Erm, there's no need to shout, emsee. You may see it as one person having dissed you, but the other people here certainly haven't, and don't deserve that sort of behaviour from you. ;-)

Emsee try that link that I posted first of all got all the solutions to problems in it....channels have quite a few uses as some products like cordless phones also use the 2.4ghz band ditto with Bluetooth and things like that. so do as I said please and change the channel and you'll notice your connection improving

emsee · 24-10-2005, 02:13

yehp i did change the channel from 11 to 3 and it did improve thank you! but i was wondering if i returned the wireless G network adapter and got Usb one instead will that be better, because i can get an extension for it and put the usb adapter much closer to the router?

Graham M · 24-10-2005, 02:35

youre much better sticking to the PCI card, beleive me!!! Does your PCI card have a dettatchable ariel (IE does it unscrew?) If so, you can get an extension for it.
