Wifi Speed

[devilfp]

Hi

I got a D-link DSL-2760U ADSL router and would like to know if anybody els got a similar one? I'm trying to do some wifi transfer speed tests but I cant seem to get more than 4Mb\s transfer speed which doesn't make sense.

Hardware
D-link DSL-2760U ADSL router
Edimax 802.11n Wireless USB adapter
ASUS 802.11n Wireless adapter
Gigabyte Laptop with Intel N Wifi Card

Anybody got some ideas?

How far are the computers from the router? Do you have good signal strength on both computers?

500KB/s? Pretty slow but that is what you can expect from wifi if there is weak signal due to walls or whatever. Also, bandwidth is shared amongst connected devices and you are also limited by the slowest device on the network

I have tested throughput on my wireless network - I get 1.3MiB/s (or 10.4 Mbps) transfer speed between my laptop and old desktop.

I tried various things like turn off firewall/antivirus and turned off the remote blaster, but no affect on speed.

My router is a 802.11g network device though, so you should get far faster speeds with a 802.11n device.

The router, pc and laptop is in the same room, not even 2m apart. I've even tried to set it up as n only, no g devices can connect. I've even tried to set the wifi security to WPA just.

I had the same issue ... wouldn't get more than 4Mb/sec using a Linksys WRT160N and a Netgear USB N.

After checking out a little more on 'N' I noticed the speed was slower ... but actually not hugely so. No one on 'N' got anywhere near the claim. Check this review out http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2375976,00.asp and check the real world speeds

Varies on equipment used, both chipset type & (MIMO) capability.

I have TP-Link WA901ND AP (300Mbps claimed) in my roof, and get the following Win copy performance ....

Macbook Air (Airport Extreme adapter) = 6-8 MB/s
Dell 6400 (Intel Centrino 5100N) = 7-9 MB/s
2nd TP-Link 901ND (in client mode) = 12 MB/s basically limited by 100Mbps ethernet infs
