Wireless Access

I have in one PC a PCI card WL200 PCI card which is connected ( wireless) to AP WL400 and network seems OK if I look at the signal quality. But I have a problem with throughput even if the signal level is excellent.

I have an AP hardwired link to another PC with a hub where only one PC is connected + Access Point.

From my wireless PC, a ping to the AP seems to be good < 10 ms but sometimes the ping ( 1 time per 15 ) last 2 seconds or a timeout occured from WL200 and W400. That windows version is WinMe.

On another compaq (Evo 610C) with a compaq W200 wireles Card, a simple copy through the networlk link do not get more the 30% of 1 Mbits/s , ie 300 Kbits/s even if the signal shows 11Mbits/s.
The firmware of WL400 is the last one, and driver for bothe Wireless card are also up to date.

What is going on ? I would appreciate
if some collegue could help .

ON Evo 610C, I am in XP and I wonder is this is related to Windows XP itself of if the throughput would be related to quality of packets transmission.

Any News about that point , because I got the same problem !

Not sure if this is any help, but by default Windows XP reserves 20% of the connection bandwidth for QoS traffic.

Try removing it from your NIC card, by right clicking on the NIC card -> properties and remove the Qos Packet Scheduler from your configuration.

So if it were that point , the throughhput ought to be 300Kbit/s *1.2 2,5 Mbits /s

I have already do tuning with that point but seems not the correct fix. But as i tested long time ago, I will try again.
In fact the PC with PCI is an old one ( Pentium Pro) .

Don't you think that there could be a relationship between the capacity of getting more trames from a quicker machine ( EvoN610C is a P4 2Mhz ) ?
