Max speed over wireless

[shabby]

I got a dlink di-524 wireless router with a dlink g122 usb adapter, with the antenna touching the adapter i only manage to get 2.6megs a second or 21mbps.
Shouldnt i be getting closer to 54mbps?

do you get 100 mbps on your wired?

Nope, you should Not get 54Mb/sec.
54Mb/sec. is the working Clock Speed of the circuitry Not Network Traffic.

P.S. mbps is milli bit per sec. Mb/sec. is Mega bit per sec.

Boo talk about false advertising, but i guess for internet use it shouldnt matter.

nweaver: yup it zips along at like 10-11megs a second.

Your car engine is rated by Horsepower.:roll:

1. There are No Horses in the car.😕
2. Cars with the same Horsepower are not necessarily achieving the same Speed.:|
3. Same Horsepower performance will vary by road condition.:evil:
4. The Speedometer of my car is rated 200MPH, I hardly can do half of it.:brokenheart:

Nope, it's accurate. Signalling rate is 54Mbps under perfect condtions. Also, your comment about 10-11 MBps on the wire is making his point, not yours. Available bandwidth is 12.5 MBs on a 100Mb switched network. Doubt your actually getting 11MBps. 9 or so is doing well. 10 would be very efficient but not what available. Overhead. Affects wireless more but both are affected. I've never seen any wireless product advertise you'll get actual throughput of 54Mbps. They say what it is and under perfect wireless conditions typically it's very accurate. If you have NO noise (100% Signal quality) and 100% signal strength then your almost certainly associated as a true 54 Mbps. What your data throughput is varies from product to product, and how your stack is setup locally.

I have seen close to 54, but that is in my copper cage at work, doing FTP sitting <3 feet from a 100mW AP

Still waiting to deploy Wireless at work. 🙁

If your work want's to deploy wireless, and security/coverage/seemless roaming, etc is a big deal, look into Cisco. IMHO, no better full deal package then what Cisco puts out. and it's about to get better 😀
