Q. I have a sitecom 300n wl 368. For some reason it hovers between 14-20 mbps on wireless whilst i have a wired speed of around 90mbps. The computers/laptops all have wireless N adapters.
Any help would be appreciated.

A. Your data rate will vary. 802.11n takes into account signal strength, quality, number of spatial stream in use and a few other things to determine the data rate.
Signal strength is effected by several things. Make sure the router is placed in a location that will provide the best overall coverage of your living area. If you put it one corner of your domicile, then the opposite corner will have a weaker signal. The more stuff between the route and your device will effect the strength and quality of the signal as well. If possible have the wireless router 6-8 inches away from the nearest wall (at least) and keep other objects at least 6-8 inches away as well (I recommend at least a foot). This will minimize things like signal scattering, reflections, and absorption.
Interference is the next big thing to look for. If you are using 2.4 GHz (most are) there are a lot of things that may interfere, which will cause packet loss and decreased signal quality. Microwaves, cordless phones, and baby monitors all operate in the 2.4 GHz space. Other wireless routers in your vicinity will also cause interference if they are on the same channel. You can use software like netstumbler or Xirrus WiFi Inspector to see all the wireless routers in your area and they channels they are on. Use an unused channel (either 1, 6, or 11) that isn't in use. The channel needs to be 5 channels away from the nearest channel (if possible). So if someone is on channel 2 you should be on channel 7 at the minimum (but should use 11 by convention). If all are in use, use a channel that has the weakest signal and least used. If your devices support it you might also try 5 GHz.
Hope this helps

i have to keep telling my wireless connection to connect?
Q. I have a ZyXel Router connected to one PC and that works fine. No loss of connection.
I have a Belkin 802 11g Wireless Card in the other PC. It is this PC that keeps loosing connection.
I have done a number of things to try to stop this from happening - from enabling to disenabling Windows to find a connection; disenabling and enabling windows zero wireless configuration.
Getting fed up now!

A. The most likely cause of your problem is radio interference. A WiFi card is just a radio transceiver, and they are susceptible to interference from other devices, like cordless phones and baby monitors, and especially, from other WiFi networks. With the proliferation of WiFi access points in neighborhoods and apartment buildings, more and more people are having this kind of problem. You should also keep in mind that the clear air broadcast limit for WiFi access points as around 300 feet. If you're inside a structure, walls, furniture, and equipment limit the range even farther. I have one laptop computer that won't pick up a signal, or gets a very low signal, where my other ones work just fine. I have to move it closer to the router to get a good signal.
If you go into the configuration utility for your router - I can't be more specific than this - you should be able to change the channel it broadcasts on. That may help your problem. You won't need to do anything with the computers, since they'll find the channel on their own. If it doesn't help, try a different WiFi card. They work best when they're made by the same company as the router.

A. go to speedtest.net get an accurate speed - and then make sure all your phone extensions have line filters - there is no large amounts of excess cable and make sure all connections are secure, also make sure there is no interference from microwaves other wifi networks or wireless baby monitors
How can i make WIFI go faster because it always seems to go slow?
Q.
A. Wireless internet is typically slower than wired.
Try to minimize sources of potential interference such as radios, baby monitors and cell phones as these can all lead to signal attenuation. Other then that you can upgrade your wireless access point or your NIC (N+ is the current leading technology. Or even move closer to the access point.
