Odd WiFi card issue

[500dan500]

Hey guys,

First post here so hello everyone.

I'm having a odd issue with my WiFi card, I'm not sure if it is driver related or hardware, I have a "Belkin F5D7001" there are no Vista 64bit drivers for it, but Windows auto finds drivers for it and it works, kinda. Windows sees it as a Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter.

My problem is it only runs at 11Mbps - I can set it to 54Mbps but the results are below;

Download Speed: 663 kbps (82.9 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 263 kbps (32.9 KB/sec ) 54 setting

Download Speed: 3769 kbps (471.1 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 1115 kbps (139.4 KB/sec ) 11 setting

I have tried this at different times same result, I have the power settings to max but still no good. It use to work fine on my old Netgear but they don't support 64bit, I can't seem to find any 64bit drivers that work with this one apart from the Windows one.

My net can do at least 8000 kbps as I have tested it with a hardwired PC.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Its auto compensating for a weak wireless signal?

Signal strength is reporting as Execllent.

Thats entirely possible afaik. The true test would be to put the pc next to the router for a short period of time, them monitor what it reports and how it performs.

Edit Reports as excellant when in 11Mbps or 54Mbps mode?
