Hello everyone,
I have recently confgured my router (WRT5G v8) with my cable coonection and I always get slow signals on my laptop when I connect to my wireless. I have vista on that machine, but when I connect to the same wireless connection using my other laotop which has win xp, it receive 100% signals. I dont understand what did I do wrong with my router. Please note that I have flashed my router with dd-wrt latest firmware but still the problem is there. Also I would need to know how to connect to the wirelsee with statiic IP address. Can someone please explian this to me please. Thank you
Hi,
A possible solution that could address both the slow Vista and the static IP:
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
Hi again,
The above is for a wired network. The posted "Right click on your Local Area networking and click on properties;" should be "Right click on your Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties;"
Cheers.
Appreciate the postback/comment.
Speed could also be affected by the antivirus/internet security used in the Vista machine. try to temporarily disable the antivirus/internet security and determine if there is a significant change in speed.
There are a number of online DSL speed test, pls try doing a Google and select a test server nearest your current location.
