***POLL*** Your Wireless Network speeds.

[FrustratedUser]

How fast connection do you have between computer on your wireless network?


<--- 500 - 800 kbit.

I guess you are asking for actual throughput and not connection speed... as I'm connected at 11Mbps right now using my B Adapter. Speeds are between 300-800K depending on what I'm xferring with, what level of encryption/filtering and what router I have connected at the moment.

I've just ordered a G Adapter so I should be back in the 2200-2600K/s range w/ 128WEP when that arrives = ~17-18MBit/Second.

On my wired lan I get about 8-9KB/s so 72MBit/s throughput.

802.11* stuff is very misleading on actual throughput. Something about the 11b protocol uses 1Mbit for negotiations so even at 11Mbit/s 'connection' you have a lot of 1Mbit overhead. Not sure how G improves upon that, but it is faster.

psst... what do you vote for if you have 150kbit ?

(I'm wired... 100Mbit - for now)

dman - Which 802.11g adapter did you order and why did you choose that one?

 

[ThePresence]

54Mbps. Linksys Wireless G.

 

[brtspears2]

Roughly 150KBps. Dell Axim won't go any faster.

What I am asking is your ACTUAL speed between 2 networked computers.

I got the 'g' stuff which should be 54Mbit but in reality I only have 500 to 800 kbit.
Looks like this stuff is really sensitive to bad signal.

Oh. I have no idea, my network is at home and I'm at work.

Well the good thing though, is if you really need a large file transferred within the network, you can plug-in and get that 100Mbps... am I right ? Please tell me yes... cause my Netgear wirelessG combo is being shipped today.

So you're getting 1/100th the speed the router is supposed to be capable of? You think there might be something wrong, maybe?

I have 11mbit equipment and I am able to get 3-4 mbit across it.

Yes I do think there is something funky going on.
The signal has to go through a wall and a door, the signal strength says 'Normal" (I think it is 50% looking at the indicator).

How far away is your computer from the router notfred? Any wall / doors between?

hopefully I can answer this question soon when I finally install my Linksys G router with Speedbooster

That would be great. I am considering building a custom antenna with higher gain for the computers on the 'receiving' end.

The router is upstairs and the computer moves around downstairs, there's usually at least a floor between the two.

oppps i voted wrong :/ ours is prob 1 of the slowest one "500kbit" However im on direct cable modem so i dont get the slow speeds ;p of the old 1st gen wireless networks.

Something funky going on with my stuff then.

How?

Do you have your computer 3 feet from teh router or what?

 

[dman]

Just setup my 2200bg card and Dell Truemobile 1300 Router, with 64bit wep, getting throughput of 2500KB/s or ~20Mbit on a 54Mbit G Connection.

On my Netgear MR814(802.11b router) w/ same 2200bg card I got ~5-600KB/s or 4Mbit speeds.

Using the MR814 w/ the Lucent Silver card (old PCMCIA card) was 3-400KB/s or ~3Mbit speeds.


Sounds like poster is only negotiating B speeds. Check and make sure both the card and router have g enabled (they do by default).

connected at 11mbit/s. however my router supports higher I just haven't gotten around to getting new wireless cards yet.
