Well first of all, i've got a D-Link DIR-625 router, on a DSL modem, with a laptop and another desktop on direct connect. Then I have 2 different adapters on this computer, (too far to run a cable to), and the Wireless N adapter (PCI), when on the Wireless N connection causees my computer to get slow and choppy. The wireless G adapter (USB)gets very little range.. anyone got any ideas?

Why can't I put a question here?

Are you using the D-Link wireless-N adapters?

Other adapater may not be 100% compatible with the D-Link router.

Also, check D-Link's website for any known issues. And check for updated drivers and firmware for all.

Umm I'm 99% sure the Wireless N adapter is the right one, it's the DWA-542, and it's the only Wireless N adapter recommended for my Router (DIR-625). Also, this USB Wireless G adapter is compatible cause I used it before, but it just doesn't get a good signal.


What really concerns me is the fact that whenever I used the wireless N adapter and disable the Wireless USB G one, I connnect to my Wireless N network and my computer gets incredibly slow and choppy.

Does that have to do with Wireless N?
