Wireless speed slow and fluctuates

I have a pc down the hall in another room. I had to position the wireless
router's (Dell TrueMobile 2300) anntena in line of site to my pc's anntenna
(Belkin High-Speed Mode Wireless G Desktop Network Card) to get strong
signel strenght. The speed is a about 11 to 36 I am told it should be about
64.

any ideas on how to make it faster to what it should be?

thanks,
Tony

That would be "54", not "64", and that's the maximum, deliverable with a
few meters of the WAP. Down the hall, in another room, I think I see 48
fairly often, but I added a reflector to my WAP.

http://www.freeantennas.com EZ-12, printed on photo paper for thick stock,
with aluminum foil glued to the sail, provides a substantial boost in
signal.

the reflector is not only 13dB stronger, it's more stable.

With 54g connections, I find that watching the "current bandwidth" in the
Windows perfmon.msc is a pretty good signal indicator.
start-run-perfmon.msc
+ Performance Object = Network
Numbers agree with dslreports.
+ Performance Object = TCP
"current bandwidth"

Thanks Clarence,

Going to build EZ 12 first.
