Can a wireless connection sustain a heavy data transfer load?

Running this wireless access point at the full 108Mbps, and using the
Netgear WG311T Wireless Cards and a Netgear WG511T PCMCIA Card. When trying
to transfer a large file (650MB image file) or even a bunch of MP3 files of
around 5MB each as a test to see how stable
everything is, and how the speed will drop etc, the connection
drops..drops.. drops... and then just appears to lose DNS and everything
comes to a halt. The wireless connection is gone and I have to reset the
access point to get things running again.

Any ideas why this would happen? All drivers and firmware are the latest..
Any input appreciated!

Yes it can. You may have a hardware problem.

Well I have just been reading back information using deja.com and it looks
like there is an issue with large data files over wireless. A lot of users
experiencing the same thing I am. Maybe Netgear support can help Then
again....

Time to call Netgear... It's most likely a hardware problem. I routinely
transfer 2 - 3 GB files over wireless... and am online for days or even
weeks. However, I've gone back to a wired LAN for large file transfers only
because it's ALOT faster.

Use DrTCP to set the MTU to 1492. Any .11b gear in the area might make
that setup leave turbo mode.
