NDAS and Ximeta - very slow via wireless

I have DELL XPS M140 (that comes with Intel 2200BG wireless card) and a
Netgear WGR614 v6 router (54mbps b/g).

This is what I did:
In Router -
1. Updated the driver (got it from Netgear's support site)
2. In the router switched to "Mode G only" and channel 11.
3. Left rest of the settings "as is". (I use 128bit encrypted WEP
security)
In Wireless card (in the laptop) -
1. Updated the driver (got it from Intel's support site)
2. Went into Device Manager and updated card's properties as follows:
a. set it to only use "mode g" and channel 11
b. specifically set the speed to 54mbps (default is "best")

I spent **lot** of hours figuring this out. Tried tonnes of
combinations and am pretty sure that the above steps helped me get it to
work the way I wanted. Just upgrading drivers didn't help; just updating
settings without updating drivers also didn't help. And every setting (I
mentioned above) has a signficant role in making it to work. For more
details, please pick up a router book and read what is "mode g" and what
are "channels", etc. and you'll know why I set it to specifically "mode
g" and why I used channel 11 and not 1 or 3 or 5.

So, if you have similar set up you might try out the above solution. No
need to get 100mbps super G router or any thing... basic audio just
works fine. I haven't yet tried dumping Gigs of data yet... will try
that this weekend. Eventually I want to be able to dump my backup files
to this wireless drive. I'm guessing I might need to upgrade my router
and card to 100mbps super G router then - let's see... But in a nut
shell ximeta does what it says and they do it perfectly... however on
the downside, support sucks, documentation sucks.

It's unfortunate that such things are still so complicated... I work in
the router industry (in the valley) and I could make it to work because
I know how routers work and I went configuring things really
systematically. I never followed what any post on the internet said
unless it made sense to me and I knew what I was doing. I certainly
don't expect any peprson (even in the computer industry) to make it to
work easily.

BTW, LAN connection worked like a charm for me. It was certainly slower
than the USB connection, but the speed was far enough for my needs.
However I don't need LAN.

Why WEP? WPA is more secure.
