Speed Problem

Dear all,

I have two computers (Windows XP Home edition sp2) with the same hardware
configuration. I have installed on them Conceptronic C54RC, these cards are
able to work on 54Mbps but the maximun speed I get is only 11Mbps.

Could you please explain me how can resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance,
Sergio.

Look for a setting in your Router/Access Point to set the mode to "Wireless
G" only. You may have set it to "mixed". Terminology varies-look in the
manual.

I don't have any Access Point, I have connected the two computers in Ad-Hoc
mode.

Question:
When using two Conceptronic 54Mbps Wireless products (C54C, C54I) we
do not achieve 54Mbps but 11Mbps when using the devices in AD-HOC modus.

Is this normal?


Answer
Yes, this is normal

According to the Wifi 11g test plan "Ad Hoc Support (IBSS)" it states that:

"The WiFi 802.11g Test Plan only allows IBSS operation using rates of
1,2,5.5 and 11Mbps"
Get an AP if you want more speed, but the actual increase in speed may not
justify the expense.
