Tweaks to improve wireless connections with DI-624 router?

Hello!

Are there any ways to improve my wireless connections to a D-Link DI-624
wireless router (Firmware Version: 2.42, Wed, 31 Mar 2004)? Are there
any tips/tweaks to try in the router's configurations?

I use Windows XP Professional SP2 and a Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain
USB Wireless-G Adapter (Model: HWU54D)'s network software/driver. I
even tried my friend's older D-Link USB D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+ and it
had similar problems. I am assuming it is a location problem instead of
a computer problem. However with the current setup/layout, I cannot
relocate the router and my computer at this time (nor use a wired network
cable).

Envara Configuration Utility v2.5.1 (3/18/2004) showed:
Link quality/Signal Strength: 66% (good status in Windows XP's wireles
s network connection status)
Network Rate: 7 Mbps
SNR: 9 dB
Device Name: ENVARA WiND 802.11g
Regulatory Domain: FCC (US)
Driver Version: 1.4.46.23
Firmware Version: 0002 - 0166 / 0045 - 00B0
NVM Version: 2040010 - 26

Pings to D-Link DI-624 router in DOS box showed:
Ping statistics for 192.168.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 73, Received = 64, Lost = 9 (12% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 9ms, Average = 2ms


Thank you in advance.

you can try upgrading the firmware to version 2.5, but there is definetly
something wrong, since a 66% signal streangth should give you way more then
7MB/s.
