Wireless and the rate

[Shams Fantar-3]

Hi,

My wireless key works almost fine. I just have a problem with the rate.
Here is the output from iwconfig :

wlan1     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"xxxxxxxxxx"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.457 GHz  Access Point:
00:18:39:3A:21:4C  
          Bit Rate=11 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm  
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:xxxxxxxx   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=63/70  Signal level=-47 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0x

The bit rate is at 11 Mb/s but I download all files at 300 ko/s, not
more. The rate seems to be limited.

What to do ? If I do "iwconfig wlan1 rate 54M", the connection freezes.

Regards

Is that KB/s or kb/s?  If the former, then we're talking something like
~2.5 mb/s, and from what I understand, the maximum practical throughput
of 11Mbps is anyway only about ~5.5 Mbps, and that's under ideal
conditions.

The 300 are in ko. (or = kb). But anyway, 11Mbps are different of the
300ko/s. How to remove the limit of the 300 ?

Are you sure it is your wireless that's at fault? Try a cable to see if

you get better rates. Else, it seems that you still have an old b-mode
(11 Mbit) card, or at least that the driver doesn't support more. If
that's the case, you'll have to buy a g or n-mode card for a better
throughput, trying to change that with iwconfig will not help.
What kind of wireless card do you have?

Yes. I think so.

The wireless key is a late-model. With a cable, the rate is perfect.
