Linksys WAG54Gv2 wireless problem

Remember when I posted about my new ADSL modem with wireless router. After using Linksys WAG54Gv2 for almost a month, I am disappointed.

The quality of the wireless is so bad, it took 15ms for me to ping the router from my laptop when the laptop itself is sitting right next to the router. My d-link AP is so much better than this one.

To be fair, the ADSL modem works fine without any problem. I probably need to wait for a new firmware to fix the slow wireless issue. There is a long thread about WAG54G on whirlpool forum.

wil, gue pernah baca soal wireless intenet. Katanya orang laen yg 1 building (soalnya sg kan tempat tinggal nya gaya2 flat gituh…) bisa nyambung kalo masih dalam range… Will it affect the speed?

I have no problems with mine, I ping it at 1-3ms from anywhere in the house. As a matter of fact when I tried a DLink 604T my ping times where 20ms no matter how close. Meanwhile, transferring files through the V2 is a snap while the DLink takes FOREVER.
