Thread: Slow reponse on network but only one PC

I have a laptop and a PC next to each other. The Main PC with the Router is 40 ft away. The laptop is fine but the PC with a usb 802.11b adapter is very slow or non existence at times. What can i ck for? More info --- problem narrow down a little. Its actually no response some times what is happening is when a page is loading from the internet site and before it is fully loaded you select something on the page to go to that is when the hang occurs. If i wait until the entire page is loaded then everything is ok.. The problem occurs now because Im on a 802.11b connection wireless cpu and response it a lot slower then being connected direct to the modem and router.Any ideas? Im sure i can hit something before the entire page is on the screen.Cant I?

You might try a G or N adapter. B is a pretty old standard, and may drag the rest of your network down as well. You should be able to find one cheap on newegg.
