Hi, I have just bought a router Belkin 54g, I set up my network and it seems to work fine for the wired connections. However if I connect to the router wireless from my laptop I got the connection but I cannot navigate because it seems extremly slow. Therefore I tried very simply to remove any security setting allowing everybody to connect to my network without password and suddenly everything was working fine also for the wireless.
Of course I want to avoid this !!
I would like to have my network protected by a password with a performing internet connection.
Any idea about what could be the problem ???
Thanks

This is more of an explanation then a solution, but to best explain what to do I have to first explain why this is happening. When you add security to a wireless router or ap you add extra envelopes to the packets of info being transferred, adding encryption to that makes it much slower because the ap has to encode all packets coming to you and un-encode all packets being sent to the Internet. In our time this happens very quickly, but in computer time I just described a lifetime. In addition if your signal is not 100% you might have packet loss "more slow down". Now the answer, in your ap setup pages you can setup wireless security, set this to Mac address authenication and add the mac addresses of all the network cards that have access to this ap. This is by far the fastest methiod of secure data transfer.
Hope this was some help...
