Belkin wireless router F5D8235-4 (N+)
XP (SP3) using the N+ USB adapter - forget the model number. It registers 270 Mbps. My Vista (64 bit SP1) is using a N USB wirless adapter (I think F5D8053)- as the N+ USB adapter does not support 64 bit (way to go Belkin). But Vista is getting 120 Mbps. Any idea why? Any settings I need to re-configure in Vista? I was told that the speed should be the same with the USB adapters. Thx |

is there a difference in distance from the router between the 2 machines, electrical interference, wall or floor thickness, etc. etc.

The 2 machines are only 2 feet apart from each other.
The router is downstairs - about 20 feet as the crow flies - if he/she could fly through the floor. |

Per the Belkin website, the N+ F5D8055) thats on the XP is not 64 Bit compatible.
so no driver to install onto the Vista. And if I just swap the 2 then my internet connection on the Vista (w/the N+) is gone. |

i'd ask belkin if there is a difference and/or what can be done to bring the adapter up to spec.

Yeah, that is my next step.
I was hoping to avoid - its either the language barrier or they go thru a check list & I am already 5 steps ahead of them. |

Well Belkin says I'm good since I have a connection.
The N+ products are faster. But since N+ USB adapters currently do not support Vista (64) then as I have the N USB adapter & that I can connect to the internet, then nothing to do - except wait till Belkin comes out with a new driver. The N+ products aren't that new. And surprised Belkin did not come out with a 64 bit when they hit the store shelves. The N's are older- so surprised they have a 64 bit version. |
