Im running Wireless internet on my new computer, just got it less then a week ago. I'm using Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless card and Adelphia Cables wireless modem wich doesnt require a wireless router. The connection is password secured, I'm running CA Security Suite Plus as my Antivirus/firewall/antispy and lately my internets been messing up massively. It normally runs at 54mbps and it slowly drops to 1 mbps and moves up to 11 then back down to 1. Ive replaced the modem and the wireless card and the card is the one the cable company recomends. Is it possible I got a virus that somehow got by and is eating my connection? if not what could be the problem?
Answer
That sounds to me like simple Interference with the signal. This happens alot on 2.4 gig. Cordelss phones, baby room monitors, wireless cameras, nearly anything else that runs on 2.4 can interfere which will reduce speed, let speed come back, reduce etc.
Try changing the channel that you are using, I suspect you will find one that will work better and deliver higher speed more consistantly for you.
It is normal for some variance to occur as you move around, particularly in different rooms etc. The further you are from the modem/router the less signal is received. You can change the channel from the modem setup screens.

Whats wrong with my wireless internet?

My wireless internet disconnects every 5 - 20 minutes. Then after about 30 seconds it will reconnect?
I've had different guys come out here four times already. I've tried changing the channels to 11 and everything. We've had the router replaced already, but that wasn't the problem either. Can anybody help this situation? Its a comtrend ASDL router.

Other wireless devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless cameras/surveilence equipment can interfere with your wifi signal, if you have any of these devices turn them off and see if your wifi connectivity improves. If it does, you could try using different wifi channels to find one that doesn't conflict with the broadcast channel the offending device/s is using. Also other wifi networks in close proximity to yours (ie: neighbours' wifi networks- especially if you live in an apartment complex) can interfere with your wifi, again you can try different channels, there is no particular advantage or benefit in setting to channel 11 specifically. If you are useing the same phone line for telephones and ADSL make sure you have line filters connected to each phone and your modem in your house. Check that the phone cable from the wall to your modem is good and that this cable is no longer than it needs to be, the shorter the better.
