Slow Transfer Speed
« on: April 22, 2011, 01:51:49 PM »
Hi Everyone, was wondering if I can get some suggestions/advice on how to increase my transfer speed from my computer to my d-link 323. Here are some of my details. I have a Linksys wrt54g2 v1.5 wireless router and a broadcom 802.11g network adapter in my computer. Let me know what other information you meet require to help me. Thank you.

If you're connecting using wireless-g then slow transfer speeds (2MByte/sec) will be the order of the day - get accustomed to it or connect via wired.

Disable the wireless adapter on the computer and connect it to the router with an ethernet cable.

Plug a network cable into the socket on your PC and the other end into your router.
I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Since the OP doesn't understand that 802.11g wireless is the equivalent to a dialup modem in terms of speed, I would have to assume that they are not familiar with computer hardware and are indeed serious.

A wired connection is significantly faster than a wireless connection.
The slowest wireless is 802.11b. 802.11g is faster, 802.11n is the current fastest wireless.
A wired connection is faster. "Fast Ethernet" is a 10/100 connection, but newer systems and network cards run at 1000 (GigE). A GigE network card will cost you about $20 if you don't already have one, assuming your 'computer' is a desktop and not a laptop or netbook.

If he wants to go gig ethernet he'll probably also need a new router or at least a switch - I believe the Linksys WRT54g is 10/100

I thought that, but then as they connected the NAS wired to the network and it is exactly the same thing to connect a PC I was a bit dubious.
