Hi guys I've been having problems with my wifi and just wanted to see if these readings made sense to you.
I live in a house and our modem is attached to a dlink 2.4 ghz G router in the basement. I took a reading from the basement PC, which is wired to the router, my notebook PC sitting right next to the router via wifi, and then my notebook PC on the main floor of the house (again, with router in basement) via wifi. Even though there is a good signal, there seems to be huge losses in speed. Is this normal? There are no other 2.4 ghz networks in range (that my laptop can see) so there shouldn't be that much interference.
Summary:
Hard wired PC - 65 down 11 up
Laptop sitting next to router connecting via wifi - 12.5 down 11.5 up Signal -33db
Laptop on main floor, router in basement - 3.0 down 4.9 up Signal -60db
Hard wired PC
Basement - Laptop sitting right next to router
InSSIDer for basement laptop location:
Kitchen - Laptop located one floor above about 20-30 feet from router
InSSIDer for kitchen location:
