    Hi!

    I am currently using Netgear wndr3700 wireless router. i just got this wireless adapter and at home, i can only connect at 54mbps!

    Newegg.com - Premiertek PL-18N USB 2.0 GAMEBASE Adapter 2X9DBI ANTENNA

    other computers in my house are connected to the 3700 wireless router in N mode @ 150-300mbps.

    I brought the Premiertek wireless adapter to use at my workplace and it could connect to Apple store in N mode at the speed of 144mbps!

    So, i guess there should be something going between this adapter and my wireless router? Anyone who is familiar with this please help me out!!!

    Many thanks

    P.S: this Premiertek (Ralink RT3072 chipset) is fast and has super-long range!

    Your security settings on your computer could be causing your problem. What is the security setup on the computer you are using it with.
