    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    No! Not S.O.L.! Three words, "Advanced Networking Service". I was hell bent on finding a way to disable the "scanning" that we thought was stealing the bandwidth periodically and this was the culprit. Disabled it, and now I have NO PULSE TRAIN. I did a computer restart and a dialog popped up...

    Thanks Tim. I have the most recent driver, so SOL I guess. Best regards.

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    The client shouldn't have any capability to enable the router 5GHz radio... I must be misunderstanding - maybe I didn't state clearly... see below. Scenario 1 - WDNR 3700 Router: 5GHz radio "on" setting, unchecked the check box, APPLIED, router restart. DW1520 Client: Verified that my...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    So here's the messed up results: First suggestion, no dice. Second suggestion, no dice. BUT, I decided to continue the line of thought and DISABLED the 5GHz router radio, ran it with the client 802.11a band setting disabled, no problem, worked fine at 2.4Ghz. Now, without changing anything...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    Changed the router setting to 300Mbps... and the client in question went up to 130-162Mbps with no drop outs, so, of course you were correct, I was not forcing G, my mistake. Mid-term conclusion: either the 5Ghz band on the client card isn't setup/working correctly or the router 5Ghz isn't...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    Definitely not connecting at anything higher than 54Mbps... I have the setting for the 2.4GHz network limited (in the router) to 54Mbps. If this doesn't force G, how do I force G? ...will surf the net for any news on driver compatibility.

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    If I force to G mode (by disabling 802.11a through the adapter settings), no drop outs!!! Though I have no idea what this means, I am definitely dumbfounded. you have not yet ceased to amaze me... Waiting with bated breath to hear what you think this means.

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    blew away all network connections... blew away the 1520 card, drivers, etc. then re-installed fresh. then I did the continuous ping (no file transfer) and didn't get any timeouts, most were <3ms, but for about every 10-15 good pings, I got 3-5 with response times of 100-200ms... then I ran...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    other client I didn't get a chance to try pinging from the client that was having trouble (will do later tonight), however, I took your advice and tried the large transfers from to different client (laptop client). The laptop client is only a wireless G (NetMeter shot attached) no dropouts...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    more notes sorry if I am over-posting already, but I want everyone to have as much info as possible. the RED part of the screenshot actually shows MULTIPLE attempts to download a single large file -- the LONG blank spots are where I stopped the transfer. If left unstopped, it will look like the...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    additional notes I should also note that the screenshot is for a single file transfer (2 GB+). PC is a 1.8GHz machine with 2GB RAM and a 250GB HDD... and as I mentioned, the transfer works fine on Gigabit ethernet, so I don't think the PC is the issue (nor the WHS that is transferring the file...

    NetMeter graph looks like a pulse train... is this normal?

    New here... just bough the WNDR3700, first venture into wireless n. Was having some problems with wildly varying transfer speeds, and I never get above 6Mbps peak, so I downloaded NetMeter. I have been trying to diagnose for the last 2 weeks, but now I am wondering what a "normal" netmeter graph...
