low speed when connected with ethernet cable to WN2000RPT
I just got my WN2000RPT and installed it without any issue. It's working just fine but I have a very slow download speed while connecting with ethernet cable. Using wifi from my laptop I reach a 20M...
40Mb/s just a bit less than directly connected with a cable to the main router.
Connecting by wifi to the extender, I get about 20Mb/s download which I would find OK for me.
expected on extender loosing half each time you extend
The desktop is running Vista but I have another desktop running Linux and connected to the extender with another ethernet cable which is longer and I see the same kind of download speed at 4Mb/s.
Maybe the settings on the network card ? my laptop has a Gigabit card while the desktops have 100Mb cards but that should be suffisient to reach the 20Mb/s
possible chipset communications issue between the two. Try finding newest driver if there is and possible try different network adapter
