Slow LAN

[soberano]

Hello

I'm as new to this splendid forum here as to wireless networking.
I have been reading tons of reviews before I decide to get at WL-500g. Now I bought one, running Oleg's firmware 1.8.1.7 CR3. It did have some problems setting it up, but now it seems stable. The WAN is working just as good as if it were wired and all :) . The LAN however is extremely slow. :( I tested by movin' files with various size. Small files (below 100mb) is okay. Moving one file, size 1.5 - 4 GB is not too good. I tested a several times with a 2.7 GB file. It took around 50 minutes even though I have excellent signal, all running 54g.
With the wl500g I bought a USB 2.0 ASUS wl-167g adapter.
I use Windows XP wireless config software as well as:
Network Authentication: WPA-PSK
Data Encryption: TKIP
I also use MAC address security...thing.

Besides that all is left default in the wl500g.
I have tried setting the speed to 54g only with out any effect at all.

I was thinking it might be the USB adapter because it have so many extra different settings if I install and use the ASUS software instead of the Windows.

Can anybody please help a total newbie out here, please....

If you check out this forum you will find that the actual file transfer speed you get is close to the limit for wireless connections using the WL-500g. Theoretically it should be able to get higher speeds, however AFAIK nobody ever managed to do this.

Okay.
Well that's a bit sad I think. Actually I thought that the limit for the wl500g would be 54.
I can see that my speed on the LAN, is way below that.
So what is the speed limit for this device???

And I have been reading, browsing and all, this forum for several day :D

please edit your posts to correct stuff

you are talking about LAN connection at 54g ?

anyway if you mean WLAN or something

54Mbit is a theoritical speed, this is a FACT for all 802.11g devices

the real speed you can achieve is something around ~15-25Mbit thus like 1875Kilobyte/sec - 3125Kilobyte/sec

So my 2500kb/s is a normal LAN->WLAN transfer speed? Can I do anything else to increase it? Connection strength is 50dbm.
Should there be a difference in speeds with or without afterburner if the network adapter doesn't support afterburner?

Thanx,
over.

Yes, this is a good speed. Enable framebursting if you need more and switch to 11g Only/Performance mode.
