Peformance Problems w/D-Link Router and Card

Hi. New here, complete novice to WiFi. Running three desktops and a
laptop off a D-Link router. Encountering problems with one of the
desktops (The E-Machines, gofigure) In any case, the problem is
that the soundcard, video, and mouse performance are all significantly
impeded when I'm on the network (lots of skipping, mouse pointer
freezes). When I disconect, everything is fine. Could it be I put the
card in the wrong PCI slot (there's two: one was open, the other has an
inboard phone modem attached to it)? Thanks in advance.

That's possible. Or the slot might be flaky. Wouldn't hurt to try
moving your PCI cards. Or the driver might be flaky.

In the future, avoid PCI adapters -- better to use an Ethernet client
bridge, or a USB adapter.
