slow file transfer

Hi folks,

I am experiencing very slow file transfer rates across my home wirless LAN
(0.72 MBits/sec). Here is the setup:

2 PCs, both XP Pro with Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN Cards driver version
2.2.1.0 16/02/2004
These are b/g cards as is my access point - a hardware DSL router (Sinus 154
DSL Basic SE)

The PC I am transferring from is registered on a domain because I use it for
work over my DSL connection via a VPN.

When I attempt to transfer files I am disconnected from the VPN however.

The other PC is not on a domain and has fast user switching enabled.

Can anyone please suggest where to start with trying to get the speed up
please?

Many thanks in advance for your time,

Ken

Hi Ken

It is possible that your wireless connection is experiencing interference or
low signal strength. Here are some things to check:

1) Is your wireless card within range of your AP? Check your
connection's signal strength. A low signal strength will limit the bandwidth
of your connection.
2) You may be experiencing interference from another AP in the area.
This AP may be communicating over the same wireless channel as your AP. Try
configuring your AP with a different channel. You may need to try several
different channels. You can usually do this via software provided with your
AP.
3) A 2.4GHz cordless phone will also interfere with your signal. If this
is the source of your interference, you may need to replace the phone with a
900MHz cordless phone.
