Hi there,

Since upgrading my xp to rc1 i have noticed that my download speed on my
wireless network connection is just over 10% of what it was before. It claims
the signal strength has gone from "Excellent" (xp) to "Poor" (RC1), even
though the computer or router hasnt moved at all.

I am using a dlink router and adapter,

Could anyone offer any help??

Cheers,

My signal strength has dropped too, and I also noticed that the connection
speed between PC's has dropped dramatically... try "pinging" another
computer on your network! What WAS 1-2ms is now 100ms!!! Link speed is
showing as 48 meg rather than the original 54! Anyone got an answer?
