I noticed in menu Status > Interfaces that I got many In/Out errors :

Does anybody knows what it means ? I noticed no speed loss though.</hostap></full-duplex>

Why are you running 10 baseT?

Try a different NIC (preferably 100 megabit or Gigabit). Make sure your cable is good.

I used a 10baseT NIC for my WAN / cable-modem connection, since it is good for up to 7mbit/s. Do you think these errors are related to a kind of duplex mismatch?

I'll try to change it to see the results, and I'll keep the forum informed.

As for the WLAN interface, I've seen something about the antenna in the forum, so I'll investigate on this later.

Thanks

Buffers are smaller on 10 megabit. 100 or gigabit will show better performance.

Check duplex as well.
