Help! Acer A0522 rubbish wireless performance
So I'm configuring my brand-new Acer A0522 I got today, and the wireless on this is just crap.
The netbook has an integrated Broadcom 802.11N wireless chip. The router is a Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato.
Also connected to the router is a Wii and a PC with a Linksys-G wireless card. Neither of those has wireless issues.
If I run speedtest from right next to the router, I get 10Mbps, which is rubbish. I should be getting 15Mbps+ with Rogers Speedboost. If I move the netbook upstairs, I'm lucky if the page even loads.
I've tried wireless channels 1,6 and 11. I've increaed by router broadcast power from 40-60-80. I have the latest Broadcom drivers from Acer.
Is the problem between wireless-N and my G router? Or is the netbook defective?
