I have the dual band wireless card from linksys, and it sucks, it’s too slow, yes sure you can connect to A,G and B, but I realize that most of the buildings now use G, so I need to buy a new one, because it’s really important to me. any suggestion? ---

I have a linksys A,G,B card also with a linksys Wireless/Wired - G router, and I’m not having any major issues with it. I connect at about 54Mbps on wireless. Are you certain that this issue is related your wireless card? ---

eh yes kirupa, my connection is pretty slow compared to my friend who uses a different brand but only G available. I’m a dummy in this networking stuff, do you think that because it only support G so it makes my friend’s faster than mine? also in a certain area I couldn’t even connect to the internet, but my friends dont have that problem. ---

Check your channel number, make sure you change it (for some brands) to a different one (12). 2.4Ghz telephones screw up the signal. Also, have you configured your base station correctly? ---

Try what max suggests also. I don’t think it matters if your router/nic supports multiple formats, for that should not result in slower performance. Make sure your router and card are configured to send and receive data as either Mixed or G only. ---

Nothing’s too complicated if you just dig into it a bit. Never hurts. :thumb: ---
