Title: Wireless help plz!!
Post by: Snarl on January 23, 2009, 09:34:52 PM
Hey all,

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem...Here's the short story: I'm trying to get the best possible speeds over my LAN with my DIR-655 router. I am running Vista-32, on a dell XPS notebook. Here's my problem: I was using a Belkin N Expresscard, and I was getting transfer speeds of about 7-8 MB/s to my D-Link 323 network drive. I thought, "wow that's great...I wonder if a d-link expresscard would go faster?"

Vista shows my belkin card connected @ 270 mbits/sec as does the router.

I recently went and bought a d-link DWA-643 expresscard, I popped it in and got 300 mbit/sec, "woohoo!!" I thought. then I tried transferring a file over to the DNS-323...and to my dissapointment I was only getting around 2 MB/sec!!!!

All my drivers are up to date - anyone got any advice?

Thanks!
