Throughtput should be at least 3MB/s for wireless-G. scan forother AP's and
see what they use for channels. Sometimes you can get better performance by
moving to a less used channel (such as 12 or 13). Also some cordless phones
operate on the 2,4ghz band and can cause speed problems. Also positioning
the antennas can influence the speed.

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am curious about your experience with wireless lan in terms of speed.<br>
the throughput on my local network is 1.1MB/s, as tested with dd on nfs<br>
or with scp.<br>
<br>
On my laptop, I have an IWL5300ABGN<br>
the switch is a this classical linksys wireless-G switch, and the<br>
workstation is using a DWL550+ using on a USB2 port.<br>
<br>
I have checked the net a bit and it seems that experiences and comments<br>
are diverging a bit. It&#39;s too much to summarize, here.<br>
<br>
My impression is that this is a driver issue with the intel cards, but I<br=

might be totally wrong.<br>
<br>
Who has also a IWL5300 device and has perhaps similar experience with<br>
wireless speed?<br>
<br>
thanks in advance,<br>
best,<br>
Volker<br>
