![]() So what I did was change the wireless transmission frequency to channel 11 (or 2.4xx GHz I think). And the signal strength went all the way down to 10%. Well, this one time my wife was talking on our 2.4 GHz wireless phone and she was standing right next to me where the router is located. So far I have had this adapter for over a week and I have not had any disconnections or weak signals. My signal strength always says excellent and always at 54 Mbps when the modem and router are in the same room as always. ![]() But if you do decide to get the adapter with a speed booster then in my test situation, I would have had over 90% signal strength easily. I just wanted a budget wireless system which works just fine for me. I did not get the one with a speed booster because I did not want to spend that much extra cash on it. Amazingly, I had close to 90% signal strength when I turned everything on and connected. The garage is about fifteen to twenty feet away from my room where my desktop is located. Once I put my DSL modem and my broadband router in our garage just to test the signal strengths. ![]() I can watch those television shows where they sell stuff and visit their website right here to find out more information. Now that I have this adapter and my broadband router, I can take advantage of my DSL connection on my desktop and laptop no matter where they are located in the house. I had always wanted to make my desktop computer wireless just like my laptop so I can share my Internet connection and files to and from the two. It now has access to the Internet, files, and printers on my wireless network. Now I was all set to convert my desktop from an external drive dependent machine to a fully wireless computer. And since I already had my Linksys WRT54G Broadband router I went ahead and bought this Linksys Wireless-G WMP54G adapter. Then I remembered that someone once told me that if you want to go wireless it is always best to have the same brand of products (routers, access points, adapters… etc) for greater compatibility. There I looked at several different types of wireless adapters in all shapes and sizes. The idea sounded great to me, so off I went to my usual computer store yes you guessed it right: CompUSA. ![]() So one day I thought to myself… why not make my DSL wireless and also share files wirelessly to and from my laptop and desktop computers. ![]() I have had a wireless broadband router for some time now, but my desktop computer was still wired in the old fashion way. Other 2.4GHz devices may interfere with this adapter… ![]()
