Slow wireless connection

[spoddynerd]

I have:
- An AMD Athlon XP 1500
- A P4
- A 3COM ADSL 11g router

The P4 has a wireless connection to the router.
The AMD has a wired connection to the router.

I am transferring 138Mb from the AMD to the P4 (via the router), and it is taking approx 40 minutes.

Why is it so slow?

Check your pc nic card , make sure it is set as auto for speed/duplex , that's all these low end routers understand . If it is hardcoded to a specific speed and duplex then you probably have a speed /duplex mismatch which causes errors and very slow performance . Must be auto .
