i used pc,and i used usb wireless to connect internet but it slow..
or anyone have ideas to make it become faster?

who know how to make wireless connection become faster?
Ummm, what is your speed you should get from your ISP?
USB is way slower than ethernet so if you have a good speed, the USB could be slowing you down.
Other than that, if your rated speed is less than the USB max and it still doesnt perform up to par, try checking background apps to see if they are taking up your precious bandwidth.

how slow is slow?
You also have to realize that the farther away from your wireless source, the less bars you'll have which will also result in a slower speed.
What wireless are you using? i.e. b, g, super g, pre-n, n? Also, are you getting strong signals from your computer? But more importantly, what speed is your internet provider.
if your residential area has many wireless hosts present, then you'll probably need to change your default SSID and channel. These 2 setting can greatly affect connection and performance.
It'll also depend on how many people are sharing the connection, speed of your connection (broadband/dialup), distance from host, wireless type (a,b,g) etc.

If possible, use a wired connection. Wired connections are always faster than wireless.

I agree with you on the part of always use wired connections, but there are some cases where wireless can be faster.
If you have a crappy motherboard with 10/100mbps lan, then using a super-G or faster connection would allow faster transfer speeds than wire

Unless this guy has some serious internet connection, using a Super-G or faster connection isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference. Even a 10mbps lan is faster than the vast majority of internet connections.
It is important to see how fast the wireless connection is running, and the signal strength. The further away, the poorer the signal strength will be, and the slower the connection will be. Hovering the mouse over the icon for the wireless connection will give the signal stenght and speed of connection. If the signal strength is Poor or Very Poor, then you need to look at resiting the router and/or computer. If possible use external high gain aerials on the router and PC.
If the wi-fi connection speed is greater than your internet connection speed then the wi-fi should not be slowing it down at all. If this is the case, then try setting your PC up via wired lan and running a speed test to check that you are getting the correct connection speed.

Ahah yeah i know, but i was just point it out. But he will see an increase in speed while file transfer through the Lan, but that's really off topic
i'm used wireless connection too...
i ever make my wireless connection became faster than usual..
but you must used external wireless device that has long wire to connect at laptop/computer...
you make a large cone about a dustbin,put your device in the cone and put out the wire connection through the small hole at the hole's muzzle..
the wire then connect to computer..
more wireless wave will rebound to your device and make your internet become faster than usual..
for example,you look at radio emitter..astro..

It may be because of the fact that you are using a USB connection. I think that USB connections have a speed limit, so it may be the limiting factor to your slow speeds.
Check out the drivers. Check out any interference. Slow throughput can be a result of so many things. You said that your bandwidth is not up to speed. Do you have a firewall or antivirus? Maybe your PC is spyware infected. Or maybe you have a peer to peer program like kazaa or bittorrent running in the background which may cause a slow throughput. Check out the services running in the background. What OS are you using? What type of router are you using? Do you have DHCP or PPPOE? Are you connecting to the right wireless connection or maybe you might have incidentally connected to your neighbor's wifi. Is your WEP secured so that nobody connects to your wireless? Address these things so we can better assist you.
i used windows xp,i don't know what types of router it is,i used wireless at campus..i'm new with computer and i don't know what DHCP or PPPOE and WEP..please explain about that...
Try getting a wireless card, if you're using a desktop. I guess you should get one if you're on a laptop aswell. And is it USB2.0 or 1.0? Because if it is 1.0 that is probably affecting the speed.
Cheers.

If you are using wireless at campus, then there is probably little you can do to improve the speed. The main factor will be distance from the router, and whether there are any walls or anything in the way. The only realistic thing you can do is buy a high gain external aerial for your PC. If you are using a laptop, then this may not be possible. Using a high quality PCMCIA wi-fi card with external aerial is an option for laptops, but this will probably be costly.

Maybe you should change the settings on your router. Some routers limit you to 2 megabit speeds when you could switch it to maybe even higher like 11 megabits or even 100 megabits! Also, check to see if your router is set to using Full Duplex.
I use a USB 1.0 external wireless device on mine, I still get full internet speed..
3,000down, 256up.
I'm connected at 11MbPS... still 8Mb faster than my internet connection.. which means there is no need to go faster...
My other computer has a PCI card.. it connects at 54Mbps.. but overkill.. because I'm still limited by my internet speed - 3Mbps.
So the simple truth is, unless you have a MASSIVE internet connection, you're not really gaining anything by going from USB to USB2, or PCI, or whatever.. because any of those connections are likely still faster than your internet connection.
Go to pcpitstop.com and do internet speed tests... need to find out of the slow speed is your ISP or your wireless connection.

try getting either a new usb adapter or new router... simple
