Personal experience with wpa2... while I don't discard it was a specific problem/incompatibility with the wireless card chipset in use and the AP, heck, should you add a security layer you are adding more traffic (data) that need to be proccessed (encoded/decoded) by both, the host AP and client. Besides, if you experience additional problems with coberture (long distance between the AP and the client) or interferences (saturated channel spectrum) then the "recipe" for a slow connection is served :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
