I have 2 laptops with 2 very different performance levels on the same wireless router.Here are the specifications:
Wireless Router:d-link DI-524, b/g,cable modem,5 years old
Computer#1:Toshiba Satelite,7 years old,XP,802.11g wireless card
Computer#2:HP laptop,3 months old,Vista Home Basic,802.11g wireless card
Computer #2 is a few months old and many times it is loading pages very slowly,I am trying to increase the performance.I have wired it directly into the cable modem via ethernet cable and it has performed fine. I ran a pingtest while it was wired and the performance was fine,no packet loss.
But wireless performance is another story.Pingtest on it wireless shows an average packet loss of 5%,regardless of proximity to the router.
Computer #1(the old one)performs fine on the wireless test.Ping test shows zero packet loss.
Please help me diagnose the problem on the new computerThank you!
