:cheesy: Hello All. I have just been setting up my wireless network, and there are two questions i have.1 is: while my network was on cat5, i was getting transfer rate of 615kps, now with my wifi, i am only getting half this, why?(modem and adaptor only 2meters away)
and 2 : as i have 3 adaptors, silly me did not mark them. how can i delete the profile on these adaptors.

In this thread described much lower transfer rates after switching from wired Cat5 to a Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter. and covered basic points about link differences and where to find network connections. Additional, practical checks that commonly resolve large gaps in observed throughput include verifying measurement units, ruling out USB/driver limits, and confirming whether the adapter or access point is running a legacy mode or suffering radio interference.

Measurement and diagnostics: distinguish bits and bytes (multiply bytes by 8 to get bits) and measure LAN throughput with a direct file copy between two machines on the same subnet rather than relying on Internet tests. Confirm the WG111v2 is attached to a USB 2.0 host controller instead of a USB 1.1 hub and update the Netgear driver/utility. Check the radio environment (change to a non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channel, reduce nearby microwave/cordless interference) and disable adapter power-save during tests. Review AP settings to avoid forced legacy/mixed modes that reduce effective throughput.

Removing saved profiles: when Windows manages wireless, use the Preferred Networks or Manage known networks list to delete SSIDs (XP: Network Connections -> Wireless Network Connection -> Properties -> Wireless Networks; Windows 7: Manage wireless networks; Windows 10: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Wi‑Fi -> Manage known networks -> Forget). If the Netgear utility is installed, delete profiles from its Profile/Preferred Networks manager as well. Record SSIDs and keys before removing them; temporarily disabling encryption may be useful only for isolated lab tests and should not be used on production networks.

due to the simple fact that wifi g has 54mbps bandwidth whereas cat5 is 100mbps

Network places/click view network connections should be a list there.
