Re: Wireless Drops During File Transfer (Netgear mr814 version 1)

Ending the task is needed in FTP transfer since explorer is being used
and it just hangs.

When attempting to download a copy of Windows Live Messenger (15 MB)
over high speed wireless transfer speeds start at 80 KB/sec and drop
within 30 seconds to 15 KB/sec or below. It should not be that low in
the first place.

I've attempted at decreasing the MTU size, but that did not improve the
situation at all.

With the other computer, when it was downloading a patch for a game, it
was using the in-game download engine and stopped transmitting data at
28%. We can close the browser, ftp window, etc, and open an IE window
right back up and browse just fine again, but the problem persists in
data transfer.

computer isn't affected -- transfers will just fail.

I have recently purchased a new laptop with a built-in wireless card
(Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection). Plugging it in, it
worked fine, wireless can browse, however during any file transfer,
upload download, LAN ftp, external FTP, my connection just drops/hangs.
I then have to End Task the process just to get control again. I'd
like to believe the issue lies in the router, as my roomate decided to
buy a laptop the day after me and his wireless connection performs the
same as well. The router itself is at least 4 and half years old. I
will be testing it tomrorow on a brand new linksys (can't remember the
model) to verify that the issue is not with the machine, however would
appreciate any ideas on my end before I decide to go out and buy a new
router.

Have you updated the router to the latest firmware?
