I recently bought an 802.11g wireless access point and card to connect my laptop to my home network. When I first connect to the wireless network, I am at full speed (54Mbs) but that quickly drops to 1 or 2 Mbs, sometimes as high as 11 Mbs at times. My signal strength is Very Good to Excellent and I am less than 50 feet from the WAP.
Laptop runs XP Pro. Network is 100BaseTX Ethernet, cable modem router. 2 computers plus the WAP into the cable modem router.
Any ideas what might be killing my speed?
