I de-tuned my router to transmit to the farthest part of the house which is a good 80-100 ft away. I can see all my neighbors' router, even two houses away.
If you "de-tune" it, then its broadcasting a weaker signal...try for "max power".
I have already isolated the bandwidth to "b" and "g" only.
If its "b" and "g", setting it to "b" or "g" may net better results as it can focus on (1) band.
The Dlink has an "auto" setting where it will pick the clearest channel and frequency.
Fair enough...just as long as nodes can find it and get good signal.
I'll try this, but is not what I would want. It will be the last alternative.
Turning of security was just to test throughput without it...proof of concept, not permanent. If speeds drastically improve, then your router is working too hard to ecrypt packets or something is flaky. If you haven't already, hard reboot. Also just make sure router firmware is current.
Thanks for the suggestions.
