Hey Everyone, I got a wrt54g and set it up to feed a internet connection wirelessly to a computer. It is running xp. Initially there was no encryption but I turned wep 128 on and it is still the same. I am thinking it is router settings, I may call tech support tomorrow if no one knows though.
Is it worth it to upgrade the firmware?? I was hoping to not have to do that and at least get the full speed it is currently capable of and then go from there.
When I do a speed test on it I get 1.6 mbps, another computer that is hard wired to the router gets 3 mbps. The comcast connection is a 3 Mbit connection.
The signal strength is great at a full 54mbps. Only going through one dinky household wall (drywall with studs).
Is there anything you can suggest. File transfers seem to be about half speed as well.
Thanks
