Curious problem earlier :
Previously reliable PC connecting via wifi was running very slowly, often timing out. Attempting to connect to router web interface would also time out. If I could get it to load, speedtest.net was reporting 0.3Mbps download speed (NOT normal!).
Wifi signal was strong. I used Metageek InSSIDer to show that there was no channel overlap with neighbours etc. All looked good, yet connectivity was abysmal.
Meanwhile, an Android phone was able to connect to wifi and view iPlayer without problem.
I decided the fault must be with the PCI wireless card, and so resorted to ordering a new one (didn't have spare to test) as I couldn't see what else was wrong.
Out of curiosity, I've just rechecked, and found.. it's all working fine now.
speedtest.net reports 22ms ping, 16.40Mbps down and 0.85Mbps UP on the wireless, compared to 24ms ping, 16.62Mpbs Down and 0.86 Mbps UP on the wired conection. ie there's no difference.
Well, there's now a new card on order, but does the team think the problem is/was a failing card that's giving it's last gasp, or some strange interference causing such an abysmal wifi performance earlier?
