Good signal, bad connection speed with wireless network

Hail all!

This is my first post in this forum, and maybe this problem has been posted here already, but i tried many things and didn't get a solution.

Here is the problem:

I have a router D-Link DI-524 and an D-Link DWL-G132 USB network wireless adapter. The router is configured, everything working fine with cable connections. All pcs have fixed ip configured.

Both of the wireless connections get terrible speed, even though the signal is shown as "very strong".

Reading many things on the internet, i tried many things:
1. Changed the channel to many values, like 11 or 2;
2. changed the ssid to something very uncommon;
3. changed the wireless mode to all possible values: mixed or G;
4. thinking somethin was wrong with the wireless network adapter i tried with a different computer, a notebook, faced the same problem;
5. read somewhere it could be interference, then i turned off 2.4GHz phones and even wireless keyboards and mouses. Didn't work also, got problem even when the notebook in front of the access point.

I noticed i got some packages lost sometimes when i "pinged" some hosts at the internet.

Can someone help me?

I tried again to solve the problem. It happens that i was using WEP in my connection. As soon as i disabled it, the speed of the network came to normality, no more package losses, etc.

I think WEP should work fine, since i use it at home with minimum loss of the speed and i even configured it with WEP once using the same router and network usb adapter and got no problems.

If anyone has that problem, its a good thing to try. Since i dont have criptography on my network anymore, i have put a list of the macs that can connect and disabled dhcp. It's not a network that need high security mechanisms at all. Someone who needs that could try using hte other cript methods available at the router.

Thanks to all who thougth about the problem!
