What are some of YOUR WIRELESS DOWNLOAD SPEEDS???

[DarkFudge2000]

folks, I just set up my wireless Belkin Pre-N Router wich supports MIMO. This is my second wireless MIMO router ( the first one was a D-Link 624M which I returned for the Belkin)

It seems like these routers are great for wired connection download speeds which I am able to reach close to my cable providers max of about 9-10 mbps but as soon as I connect with my wireless laptop which has an Intel 2915ABG wireless card, the max download connection I can achieve is about 2.5 to 2.6mbps from TESTMY.net broadband testing website which is very accurate for testing your speeds in comparision to real world situations.

My question is, is this speed pretty much the max that wireless routers can transmit WLAN data around your wireless network?.....I pretty much have tested this around my entire house including right next to the wireless router and achieve about the same download speeds....also my wireless connection display shows an EXCELLENT SIGNAL strength and a connection speed of 54mbps. So are these download speeds as good as I should expect from a wireless connection to the internet??

What are some of your REAL wireless connection download speeds??


thanks all

22mbps is the most I've every gotton.

I'm connected to 5mbps cable and somehow only get 200kb/sec via wireless but a full 550kbps via cat5. Is this what you're experiencing? There's probably a setting in the access point that'll allow faster transmission speeds other than the B/G speeds you see via the wireless info. I'll look into it.

You might want first to find out what your Wireless can do locally.

I have two wireless units. The Netgear acts as an access point + router while the WRT54G v.1 with a Sveasoft firmware acts as an access point only. Through the Netgear, I am getting the full download speed, through the Linksys, I am getting less than half. They're actually both located in the same spot and I am connected via a Linksys WPC11 which is a B card. I believe it's just a setting in the access point itself. Look for something like wireless transmission rates and not the wireless compatibility mode and adjust that accordingly. I'll post my results when I have time.
