Modem problem.

I have a dual band modem and the printer is connected wirelessly to band A. When I connect to the network with my laptop it shows a speed of 48mb on band A but falls quickly to 1mb, but signal strength remains excellent. When I connect to band B it stays at 48mb.I am using Windows XP. Can anybody offer any help as to why this is happening please?

Try changing the channel on band A.

In case you're unsure how to:

more accurate information required

I presume by "modem" you mean an ADSL wireless modem router running on the "N" protocol with the 300mb/s dual band?
Assuming thats correct
1) which two bands have you set the channels to?
2) is the printer running on G or N protocols? Presumably the printer is only capable of single band?
3) is the computer running on B,G or N? Is the computer capable of dual band?

Milo I will get back to you on this next weekend. I am away on a trip so I don't have access to the hardware.
