WIRELESS cuts my FIOS speed by nearly 50%! :(

You know G is 54mbps right? That's about 7megabytes per second, which is the speed you're getting. Why hasn't anyone posted this yet??

because this isn't the networking forum, the OP posted in the wrong forum, so any bogus info is ok

Actually, maybe FiOS is reason enough to upgrade to a good Pre-N or Draft-N MIMO wireless setup--you can get kits that include the MIMO router and adapter (not sure if its USB or CardBus/ExpressCard.)

Pre-N for the nguyen!

Please don't do this. Draft-N is a channel hog and makes life even more miserable for the rest of us.

Massachusetts isn't any where close to Minnesota... N-spec signal is good ... but not that good.

802.11g is more than fast enough for his purposes. I expect that he simply has crappy antennas or there is too much interference in his house. And lastly, keep in mind that it is wireless. It's going to suffer compared to wire, that's just how life is.

So by your logic, the IEEE committee responsible for the N-spec should just disband, cease and desist? We should all just give up on any further world progress, since the slackers are all destined to suffer? Please....

I do agree with previous posters on one point, get off of the USB wireless adapter. While the USB 2.0 throughput is great (and also not your bottleneck), the signal strength and antenna propogation on that small device is less than adequate.

I use the Pre-N version of the Belkin wireless router and PCI card in my 2 story house. Awesome coverage, and I play BF2, CS:S, and other online games over wireless.

Where is the update?

(The optimizer)

Set it for optimal settings, save to registry, reboot, report back here.

Wow this is rediculous. There's now no noticible "lag" when you first start loading a website... that's all I was really worried about in the first place.

Speeds increased to: 10929/1687. I'm impressed . I'll see what I can do to maximize it.

run that, and it will also tell you if your registry settings are optimal for FIOS, and if not, it will have a link to click to fix it.

I figured out that wireless KILLs bandwidth LONG ago. Just don't use it unless there is a need to be wireless. A desktop computer can always be wired.

Your price for "1/2 speed of 15/2" is still cheaper than my 1.5mb/896k.

Oh, and go wired.
