my htc desire's connection to my wireless router (Buffalo G-300N) seems to be unstable, sometimes it loads websites extremely slow, when I try to Ping the Desire from my computer, there is very long delay, or timeouts. but the desire seems to be perfect fine with my university's wireless network. anyone has the same problem? and can it be solved ?
 
Sounds like someone near you is on the same channel. Change your routers channel in the admin console and try again.

thanks for answering me, but i think that's not where the problem is, other devices (my squeezebox,5800xm） connect to this wireless router just fine, no packets delay, no dropping of packet.

So i suspect the problem is a compatibility issue
 
What broadcast mode are you running in?

You'd be surprised that some devices cope well with signal clutter, whilst others dont.

It's how I learned of signal issues near me, was my N96 dropping wi-fi connection. Changed channel and everything was sweet again.

Are you running in mixed, b/g, B+g+N? any options of signal boost?

I changed the channel to 13, but still, packets loss and long delay, but the problem is not consistent, sometimes for a while, it seems to be completely normal.

my Wireless mode has 3 options, disabled, mixed, n-only. I guess i can only use mixed. I don't know what "disabled" mean here, if i try i may be locked out from the wireless network, my computer only supports G.
 
Mixed is what you want.

What channel were you on, and what did you change to? The channels over lap quite a bit ;)

If running XP, try an app caller netstumbler to see what channels others around you are running.
 
When you set up the connection on the desire, did you enter the passcode as a1b2c3 or A1B2C3?

The latter is normally how routers prefer them

I used WPA2/TKIP, only numbers.
it's so frustrating, probably i'll just change my router for a better one ....
 
by the way, do you know if desire can set the transmission power of wlan ?

my previous HTC windows phone must set to high power in order to connect my D-Link wireless router ....
