hi all, need some help.

i just moved into a new hdb and applied the SH bundle.

got he 8mbps cable modem and bought a dlink wireless g based router 150.

desktop setup, belkin wireless USB adapter.

search through the wifi, couldnt find my DLINK router, had to manually configure USING the belkin utilities and key in username and password. (router is not hidden)

my question is, is it becoz of the belkin adapter that i cant dfind my dlink router connection? using windows XP. my speed test speed was only 1MBPS!! i applied for 8MBPS!!

should i get a wireless LAN card or should i stick to the USB adapter to get connection from my router? does it make a difference? in terms of speed?

1MB/s is roughly 8mbps

it means 1 M(ega)B(yte) p(er) s(econd) ~ 8 M(ega)b(its) p(er) s(econd)...

It is commonly abbreviated as Mbyte or MB (compare Mb, for the megabit).

Megabyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Especially in networking... MBps DOES NOT EQUAL Mbps... it's a world of difference...
