Wireless network speed

How fast can you send from your wireless device to another device?

I know even with a g wireless eithernet card you won't get the ful 54 Mbps
 
Goot enough to stream top gear or divx wtihout 100% saturation and without having more than one lag hiccup every 90 minutes of uninterrupted film

Edit: Any updates on that lottery ticket?

Windows only tells you what the theoretical throughput of your 802.11 standard is.. not the real transmission speed.

 
You can find out what maximum speed you can get with your wireless network by sending something off any device connected wirelessly to another device over the network while using netmeter to monitor the speed.

Pics for proof because I don't believe you unless you are using one of those dirty 2 channel hacks like speedboost or whatever and even then it'd be interesting to see a screenshot.

Managment frames make 54Mbps throughput impossible on standard 802.11g equipment.
 
Ooo wow I just tried sending a 61mb folder to my other computer and it took a lot longer than like 2 seconds 😕

You shouldn't doubt the resident ATOT network engineer 😛.

Well that's how fast I move data. Throughput is a hole nutter question.

-edit- forgot to mention it is a gear.

Haha define what you thnk throughput is then.

How quick is your laptop hard drive please?

5400 RPM Fujitsu.

This is why in my opinion.

I bet a 7200 rpm hard drive in your laptop would help speed up file copying over to your laptop a lot.

Though the disadvantage is more heat, less battery life, and you can't always get 7200 rpm laptop hard drives in the same size as 5400 rpm hard drives, well at least not the really large ones yet. Hey I could be wrong.

Throughput is one way data transfer of the payload. Normally disregarding layers 1-6.

.... of the OSI model?

What layer do you think ICMP works on?
How does an application layer protocol function without any other layer?

How do you think throughput is a one way transfer.. how are you getting a response? 😛

edit: furthermore, what definition of throughput is anything other than 'the amount of data moved successfully from one place to another in a given time period.'
 
ICMP doesn't really have a throughput because there is no payload, and it is a layer3 protocol.

But normally throughput means "disregarding any underlying layers"

I know I'm splitting hairs here but the terms speed/bandwidth and throughput get mixed up way too many times.

🙂

:laugh: The hardrive is not even close to being a factor.
 
The real throughput from experiences are somewhere between 10-15Mbits/sec, thats with WPA on on a G router.

Yep, I've got wep enabled also.
