Re: Belkin Pre-N notebook card problems



Looks like a combination of 3 things. First off, connectivity was just fine
this morning when I booted up the laptop. There must have been excessive
interference yesterday in the neighborhood. Secondly, I turned off the
Windows firewall and throughput indeed improved. Lastly, changed to AES on
the WPA-PSK and got the most noticeable increase in data rate. Things look
just fine now. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
