    Angry Help 56kb/sec !!!!!

    Hi,
    I have just finished building my new rig,

    I am happy to everything is working well
    ......
    Except the wireless
    I have wireless adapter connected through USB. the adapter came with my motherboard which is an asus p5k-e wifi-ap. It says in the booklet that this connector can achieve speeds of up to 54Mb/sec. I am connected to my computer downstairs which has a Linkeys wireless G access point, Model:WAP54G
    802.11g this i think, is also connected in someway to a firewall, i think it's a Cisco systems 800 series.
    I am using windows vista, and the connection bar is almost full. I download alot of games, and as i am sure you can imagine, downloading a 9gb game at 56kb/sec is going to mean alot of noght with the computer left on. ( it's a noisy bugger)
    Please can you help?
    Thanks

    That has more to do with your internet connection than it does with your wireless in all likelyhood.

    Have you tried transferring stuff (files etc) over the network and seeing how long it takes?

    If you've got another pc, and a rather large video or other type file - transfer it between two pcs over the wireless and time how long it takes. Should then allow us to work out whether its the wireless causing the issue or the internet connection.

    share a folder over the network, then transfer a file by drag and drop.

    use a program such as DU Meter to measure/view the speed at which the transfer is taking place.

    May be he is downloading the Orange Box?

    I haven't been using Steam for ages, may be his router / firewall is blocking the "Bittorrent" traffic which would explain the 56kb/sec speed

    My hall use 2Mbps SDSL and I get close to zero speed on P2P because of restricted firewall policy :S

    I will probably have the results for the file sharing l8er tonight.
