I've worked with 3Com, Netgear and Cisco, but I assume Linksys would
allow you to modify some of these settings.
Where I use to work at, I installed wireless access points at all of our
offices. Our salespeople used wireless notebooks, Toshiba tablet pc's
and PDA's. So they could go to any office in the company and have
access to the network, databases, etc.
Keep in mind about the following:
How much data are you dealing with on your selects, updates and inserts.
More than likely, your wired network is running at 100 mbits at least,
your wireless is only running 11 mbits, that's quite a difference in
bandwith.
If the datatable/datasets your dealing with are small, your network
access to shared resources and web browsing is excessively slow then I'd
start checking out the following.
1.This would be my first task. Most wireless pc's etc... allow you to
display the signal strength their receiving. Have you looked at that,
to see what kind of signal, your getting.
Look for:
Is the signal strength always low.
Does the signal strenght flunctuate over a wide range.
If this is the case, change the channel on your linksys, the pc should
automatically find the channel or you can set it manually on the
wireless driver setup.
2. If the signal strength is decent and not flunctuating all over the
scale. The tcpip stack on the linksys and your notebook should allow
you to modify the mtu settings.
3. Allow for asynch or disconnects is on the access point in the
configuration.
