can anyone help with my wireless connection?

Question

recently went wireless and know that with my wired connection had an average 6-7mb speed. however since going wireless my speed has slowed badly.

ive got a 54mbps router (Orange livebox)
ive got a 802.11g wireless card
ive got the router pretty close ( 4-5mtrs) with no major solid walls in the way

ive heard on here that i could maybe change the channel of the router cos i have picked up another 5 connections in the area, but havent a clue how to do this.

any ideas guys?!?!?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Changing the channel only helps with interference like wjen you can not even connect to your netwirk. As long as you are connected to YOUR network, changing the channel won't do a thing.

Could be a number of things really. I have the same issue, and have not found any real solutions that improve it.

I get steady 4 Mb/s though LAN, and 2-3 over wireless.

Good luck.

Cheers
