    Hey

    Just got 2 PCI d-link wireless networking cards for my brothers desktops.

    It works very bad.

    Download is about 350-400kB/s and its very unstable, with CAT5 networking cable it is about twice of that and very stable.

    The speed changes from 24-36Mbit/s and signal changes between low and good. It isnt working well at all.
    I got the latest firmware for my router, a Level1 WBR3406TX

    Im not satisfied and im gonna return these networking cards if it doesnt work well soon since 1 of my bros are playing alot of MMORPGS and doesnt like getting DC'ed.

    ATM it feels like money down the bin..
