250 mbps with a G router is physically impossible, if that's what you try to tell us. G=54 mbps theoretical throughput. In practice 20-25 mbps max due to overhead etc.

Sometimes the driver will show throughput in stead of connection speed.

Anyhow, believing a 54g router actually does 250 mbps kinda resembles believing in Santa Claus.

I think he was referring to kbps, probably observing a download from the interwebs and confusing the transfer rate with connection speed.

I hope so

sorry i meant it was 65 mbps before and its still the same now..with a wireless n...I guess n router reviews are right there is virtually no difference. I bought this router because of the reviews but i see not much difference.

Anyhow, the router is back to 65msps from the 150 mbps i was getting...dunno whats up....
Do you think Ican downgrade to firmware 1.11 and will it help? thanks.

Did you install intel PROset to manage the wireless or is Windows managing it?

[chipped]

Also i noticed you said you are using WPA security mode, is the WPA mode set to WPA2 only?

This is required to get better speeds, I use a DIR-655 with a Intel 5100AGN and had the exact same problem, it was fixed by:

- Setting the router to Auto 20/40MHz
- WPA set to WPA2 only
- Setting the Intel 5100AGN to automatic 2.4GHz so it uses 40MHz

[wiak]

intel only does 20mhz i think on 11n, so it only goes to 150mbps

as before the settings has to be WPA-AES or WPA2-AES
TKIP wont allow for high speed, nither do WEP

best setting for n and g are
Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g
WPA2-AES
Auto 20/40
Channel 10

if you 11g cards dont support WPA-AES or WPA2-AES your out of luck
