Hello, I'm running a wireless network (mainly to share an internet connection) using a D-link DI-714p+ and a D-link DWL-520+, both are 802.11b and both are running in "4x" mode. I've been having some trouble with the stability of the network - the PC that is connecting wirelessly loses the connection at time. The distance couldn't be more then 25-30 feet, and it's not going through concrete (but it is going through tile). I don't necessarily think it's a signal problem because the software states that I constantly have 100% link quality and the signal strength never drops below 75%. I also don't have any other wireless deviced runining on the same frequency (although switching the channel from 6 ro 5 did temporarily solve the problem at one point). Finally, at one point I enabled the 128-bit encryption, which worked fine untill a day later when the router and the adapter stopped communicating - at that point I disabled encryption again which got it all working for a while.
Finally, could anyone tell me the difference between the "long" and "short" preamble settings? Currently, both are set to "long", and I'm wondering if that has an effect on stability.
Once again, any help here would be greatly appreciated.
