Hello

Several months ago I bought Linksys WUSB54G adapter to connect my 2-nd 
desktop
computer wirelessly to internet.But,unforunately, the whole thing works very
poor.It has veeeery slow transfer speed: usually like 100-150k (tested
at www.toast.net) instead of 800k and more.  Some webpages open more
than 1 minute.No changes even if I put adapter very close to
router.(Computer and internet works great when connected by cable)
The connection becomes slower and slower and less steady, and after 1-2 days 
stops totally.Then I have to reset(turn off/on) the router and connection 
appears again.And so on this way since 5 months.

I think i checked everything: system reinstallation,  antivir soft, Spybot, 
Ad-aware,register
cleaning,  delete cookies,reinstalling adapter`s soft,  changing
adapter`s channels, resetting router etc.etc.

I turned off all radio devices which could interfere.

I spent several hours talking
to Sympatico and Linksys tech support staff trying to resolve problem - with 
no
effect.Then I exchanged Speedstream router(now I have 5220 model) - 
situation became even worse.

Maybe something wrong with adapter? Can you give me a hint?
I would really appreciate any help with this one.

AMD 1800+, 512MbRam, HD 80GB, asRock mainboard
System:Windows XP SP2
ISP:Bell Sympatico,  High speed
SpeedStream router provided by Sympatico.
Straight line distance router-adapter  ~ 10 feet, through ceiling.


Apologising for my poor english, with regards

You may be using the same channel as someone else in the area.  Try changing 
it.
