Thanks for the input, I would agree with you on weak signal/
interference, but this happens to me even if i sit like 2-3 feet away
from the router, at no point of time am I more than 6-10 feet away. As
far as interences are concerned, I have one cordless system in the
room that works at 5.8 Ghz...so I'm quite clueless! :(

Your cordless phone could nonetheless be an issue -- some 5.8 phones use
that channel in one direction and 2.4 in the other direction. But your
distance makes that kind of problem unlikely.

What kind of DSL service do you have, and what speeds are you supposed
to get? Even your wired download speeds look low for standard consumer
DSL service (even allowing for the unreliability of DSLreports testing).
Perhaps you have a DSL problem.

p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread
-- it's confusing. Thanks.

I have a WRTP54G connected to my DSL modem and then a wired WAP54G
connected on a seperate floor. When I am connected to the access point
(wirelessly) using my laptop (Fujitsu S7010D), I am connected at a
good 54Mbps, but my data transfer rates (aka my internet connection
speed is slow). But when I take that ethernet cable straight from the
router to my laptop, I get extremely fast speeds. Which means there is
something that has to do with the access point or the wireless network
that it generates. Here are the DSL report tests for both wireless and
wired

wireless
57kbps download and 118 kbps upload

wired
188kbps download and 159 kbps upload.

Now this is too much of a difference between a wired and a wireless
solution.

Any suggestions will be welcome! Thanks for your help.

Likely weak signal and/or interference. Wireless has trouble
penetrating walls, ceilings and floors.

Hi John,

Sorry for the confusing response, I'm not too concerned about my
internet speed (my actual DSL), because I'm in India, and the speeds
here are somewhat terrible, atm..i'm on a 256kbps line, i'm trying to
get it upgraded to 2 mbps.

So I dont really understand, why I would be getting a faster speed
when my laptop is directly connected to the ethernet wire, as opposed
to being connected wirelessly.

Do you think it could be something with my wireless lan card? Its an
atheros (onboard my laptop)

Thanks for your help! :)
