Wireless adapter connects at 54mb but drops to 1mb w/any dataload

It seems that your network is getting wireless interference and that is the reason why the adapter is dropping the connection to a lower speed. Please go ahead and change the wireless channel on the wireless router to resolve the issue.

Please revert for any further clarification.

Please follow these troubleshooting steps when you are unable to connect at maximum speed with your NETGEAR wireless adapter:-

2)Click on Advanced Settings.
3)In Advanced settings, make sure the maximum wireless speed options (in this case, 108 and 54 ) are enabled under Wireless mode.

If these these steps does not make any difference then upload the latest drivers for the adapter.In this case it will be version 3.0.

The best way to resolve this is to uninstall and reinstall the adapter software from your computer...........

Make sure to set the wireless chanel on to a specific channel. As with Vista there are some issues with wireless connection when the router is broadcasting at AUTO mode. Try diffrent channels on the router and choose the one that works best.

Also, it is advisable to resintall the adapter using the latest adapter drivers from the link below:

Hope this helps.

i have seen issues with wireless USB adapters. Can you try another USB port on the computer? Also delete the adapter and let it br reinstalled. If this does not help, I would suggest returning it and getting a Linksys adapeter.
