D-Link DGL-4300 Assistance

Well in May of 2007 I purchased a DGL-4300 and it has been working great. There is only one problem, the wireless is continually having issues.

Here is a link to the statistics page showing all the errors after only 45 minutes of uptime:

There seems to be an abundance of errors and dropped packets present after a minimal amount of uptime. (I did a hard reboot of the router and modem by unplugging them for one minute after upgrading the firmware)

My question is what can be causing this problem? Is there a chance that it is the router itself or could it be the wireless adapter? (Its an Airnet, which recently went bankrupt. Not exactly a high quality adapter if you get my drift)

I have a feeling its the wireless adapter, my question is does anyone have a suggestion for a good one? In general the more affordable the better, but I want it to have good drivers, a strong signal and a stable connection. I thought D-Link would have a recommended wireless adapter for my desktop for this specific router, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks!

 

At times you run a cross adapters are not compatiable with each other. Set the wireless to 54g only and not the large packet (108mbps). And see if this helps. Is your wireless card a pcmci card or is it a internal card? It should not me hard to find a replacement card.

You may want to change your mtu setting for your network down to 1492 and see if that will help too.

 

I am currently using 54g and altering my mtu does not help the issues. (I have already tried, the default seems to be optimal)

My current ISP is Comcast if that helps as well. (Cable)

I have heard that the Atheros Chipset makes for an awesome WLAN card, does anyone have some suggestions with that particular chipset? (Or another if you disagree thats a good chipset)

For my desktop I am running an older motherboard so I would need a pci card replacement. (Not PCI-E)

Thanks!

 

Download a program called cablenut.com and the aux pack. This is the best optimizer I have used. There is a setting in the pack for your cable settings. See if that will help.

And it could be a bad wireless card in the router. Does not happen very often but it does.

You could also try one of the USB to wireless adapters. Some times these were rather well because you can position the antenna for optium performance, works better with USB2.0.

 

Unfortunately it did not help, does anyone have a suggestion for a good PCI Wireless Adapter?

it's a d-link draft n, but doesn't have all those crappy antennas
