New Around Here
Good evening-
I am setting up my first n network and I think I'm doing something wrong. I have the following components:
linksys WRT600n
netgear WNHDE111
intel 4965AGN Link
The 802.11g intel laptop card (39xx?)
Here's my configuration:
5ghz network is setup to 40mhz wide with WPA2-Personal AES Security. Network mode is N only. Eveything excep the last laptop runs off the this network.
2.4ghz network is setup on the 20mhz chanels, G only, WPA2-Personal AES Security.
I have a desktop hooked up to the netgear access point. For testing I put my laptop (the N laptop on the 5ghz network) about 3 feet away from the netgear bridge (also on the 5 ghz network) to make sure I was getting similar signal. I don't know how to check the signal strength on the bridge.
My problem is this: Even when my latop is reporting an excellent signal and 162 (or something close to that) Mbps, I am only getting about 12 Mbps actual thoroughput when transfering a file from the desktop on the bridge to my N laptop, which is amazingly low. The two devices are only about 15 feet from the router and should have similar signal. I actually hooked both up to the bridge just to make sure the wired network speed was OK and it was - close to 90 Mbps. I believe the WPA2-AES is only supposed to cost about 10% of bandwidth so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Any ideas on why the network is so slow? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Chris
