For years Ive had perfect wireless connectivity between a fixed router (D-Link 634M) and my computer in the adjacent room (D-Link G520M). But for the last two weeks the reception has dropped to 1-2 bars, with speeds following.
The wired computer next to the router gets 23Mb/sec via speedtest.net, while the wireless connection to my computer is literally averaging about 0.11Mb/sec. Prior testing had it around about the same speed as the LAN connected PC.
Absolutely nothing has changed but for some stupid reason my connection is getting owned.
Running inSSIDer I can see that neighboring wireless networks are exceeding the signal strength of my own router, despite being alot further away.
My computer has a 1:9 ratio of sent to recieved packets.
Power cycle did nothing.
Drivers and firmware cant be updated (model is no longer supported).
Time to install a LAN jack in the wall and trash the overpriced wireless gear?
