Two Wireless NICs - One stalls when other in use
OS: Vista
1) Two wireless network cards connected (both same make/model/driver Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO USB Adapter F5D9050UK) 2) Each connected to different G wireless network 3) Routes added: route -p add 216.196.109.131 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.254 route -p add 216.196.109.144 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.3.1 When download starts for 1st route at 20Mbits+, the second route (or any traffic going thru 2nd NIC) becomes extremely laggy and totally saturates the connections (high packetloss). When downloading stop at 1st NIC, 2nd NIC becomes responsive. And vice-versa when routes and network cards switched around. Why? Driver bug? Doesn't happen when using a Wired NIC and Wireless NIC. |

Thanks, moving the antennas seems to have fixed the problem, were just 30 cm apart before, now metre difference |
