Wireless network connects only at 11Mbps

Hi,

I have 2 laptops one VAIO K215Z with Wirelss 54Mbps and another VAIO B1XP with wireless 54Mbps and it connects peer to peer only at 11Mbps,.. i changed the connection to 802.11g (54) but they still connect to 11mbs.. does anyone knows what to do..?
K215Z wireless is LAN-Express AS IEEE 802.11g miniPCI Adapter
B1XP wireless is INTEL PRO 2200 IEEE 802.11b/g

i never used an acces point to test them.. though in peer to peer they connect only at 11mb...

Thank you,
All the very best for all.

It should work:smileysad:

Sorry I have no idea. But, maybe I shoul say that there is no response.

If you click install, then Windows should install it, but you wouldn't recognize it. Unless, sometimes opens the DOS-box for a short time. But is rare. It should work.

I have installed my Windows from a self-burnd Windows CD (click me )

it works fine for me:smileyconfused:

If it would work then at the next restart my SONY NOTEBOOK SETUP should be in ALL PROGRAMS and that its not happeing.. anyways..
I fixed that by downloading the preinstalled drivers
the problem now is that i installed the drivers from INTEL for the WIRELESS CARD and i have the same problem
maybe are the drivers from the K21Z AS IEEE 802.11g
but i cant find any on internet... and i dont know whats the problem.. are those 2 wireless cards incompatible?

That would be a real crap, if Sone have had manipulate this part of hardware too. The cards can't be incompatible, the IEEE 802.11 b and a are standards.

I think more and more that Sony has fuckoptimized the driver. That would explain why the original driver not works. here is the download site from Intel again. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Support_Intel.aspx

Or it's an hardware fault. But why should the b standard work, but the g standard not?

You should set it too WPA (not wpa-psk). That works only with g standard.
WEP works with the b-standard too. Maybe this helps.:smileyconfused:
