Re: Configuring WLAN for optimal performance in Windows XP

Post by ebrinton »

I am still having some strange behavior with my wirelss connection even after making the setup changes outlined in irads procedure
(Power saving = CAM, Multimedia = Enab).

Before the change I was getting the "Wireless network conection is now connected" dialog displayed over and over at a frequency of about 1/sec (assuming I continually acknowledged the popup by clicking on the x)

Now I am still getting the same dialog displayed but with much less frequency. Signal strength is always listed as Excellent so I don't think that is the issue.

I have not rebooted the FIT (and I don't want to now as I am 26 days into a 30 day test of my application running on the FIT-2).

I notice the Radio ON/OFF option is set to "enabled" , should it be?

Any thoughts on this trouble?

Hi. I just did the config that Irads said (CAM & enable) yesterday and it worked. I turned the Fit PC2 off and today when I turned on I can't connect to my wireless router. I tried back and forth the changes and still can't connect. PLEASE, help!!!! This is driving me crazy :cry:

I have been playing with Windows XP lately, and I think the reason for erratic wifi performance reported earlier is the ralink utility program. Simplest and best solution is to use the native Windows XP wifi utility to set up the wifi driver. The Windows utility actually works, is quite stable and comes on very quickly on restarting the system.
