Hello,
I recently purchased a NetGear MR814 802.11b wireless router and two NetGear 802.11b Wireless USB Adapters for each desktop in my apartment.
My home network is working fine except when I do a continuous ping to the router from either computer the ping stays between 2 to 4 ms; however, the ping will jump to 3000-4000 ms every 15 to 30 seconds. If I connect a computer directly to the router with a cat5 cable I do not experience this problem so it most likely has to do with the wireless segment.
The signal strength is full strength at excellent, WEP is disabled, I upgraded the firmware of the router to the newest version and confirmed the wireless USB device has the newest driver, I tried lowering the fragmentation and RTS threshold and the preamble type on the wireless adapter (although the router reported no collisions at all), changing the packet sizes did not effect the periodical lag at all, and both computers are running Windows XP.
Where should I go from here?
Thanks for your time,
Jack Thompson
