I have recently bought a WRT54G. I have a lapi with an Intel Pro Wireless 2100 3a with the latest drivers. I only get a "fair" single strength and can connect @ 1Mbs. I have used NetStumbler and still don't get a decent signal. How can I tell if my Router is faulty?. I can connect and browse the internet etc... but just get a cr£p signal
Their 2200 B/G mini-PCI card works much better these days. I was at my friend's office recently and I placed my notebook with a WPC54G side-by-side to his new fleet of Toshiba Tecra Centrino notebooks, all with a 2200 B/G mini-PCI card, and my notebook couldn't detect the Buffalo router that was about 100ft away through a couple of brick walls. I changed to my Buffalo card and still nothing, but the Toshiba could maintain a steady connection throughout even though Windows WZC reported a low signal strength. Too bad I couldn't convince him to give me one of these Toshibas
I was using the linksys original 2.4.4 (something like that), now i'm using the Sveasoft Satori v4 (downloaded from this links on this site). Are the 2100 ProWireless rubbish, because I also have difficulty connecting @ close range (like the ssame room) ??.
