Arrow How do i get 108mbps speed with Netgear wireless....

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how do i get 108mbps speed with 1x Netgear WAG511 for a laptop and a WAG311 for a desktop computer.... as even with one of my other friends that got the d-link equivalent it only had manuals on how to install the drivers n thats it and the max speed i can get them both to do is 11mbps so if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it thanks

Do you have everything on the same wireless network? Netgear's site says if you introduce new wireless devices into a ad-hoc network the speed will drop to 11mbps if the devices cannot support the new standard. It says to use infrastructure instead.

Also, this link has a couple different versions of the 311 - I'd take a look at that. If nothing else, nose around Netgear's site, might find something helpful. Good luck.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Memory: 2GB Kingston HyperX PC2-6400 DDR2-800
Motherboard: Intel 975XBX2KR
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ES 250GB 7200 SATA 3.0/NCQ
Video: PNY 8800GTS 320MB / Viewsonic VG2230wm 22" WS
Sound: Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS / Logitech Z-5300 5.1 THX
DVD: Plextor 8X DVD +/- RW
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2

This is proberbally a silly suggestion, but are your network interface cards bandwidth speeds being limited?

What 108 Mbps is the Wireless G standard, except off just using one band (signal) you use 2, so basically you can send more data cause you can send over both bands instead of just one.

Well I found a bunch of reasons why it isnt working and all on Netgear's site... even the explaination of why youre running at only 11 mbs...
