So I got a computer for free yesterday...

[Cheese7710]

Well, I'm usung a wireless right now, so I might see how fast it is, then post the results.

EDIT: The results:

Got a better result from OKC:

That speed is blistering fast compared to the 0.26mbps I was getting.

But now I'm wired up and I'm like pffffft wtf was that shit:

And this is with the other 3 members of my family using it as well.

But yes, this just proves my point that wire > wireless for far better stability and reliability.

 

[rileyper]

Have you considered Powerline Networking. As long as you not in an apartment this should work.

 

[JerzeyLegend]

Wireless generally max out at about 54mbps

The stone ages called, they said you need to get with the times as they are already on Wireless N with MIMO getting 600Mb/s.

>.< Sheesh, at least make it a real site.

He totally needs to download more RAM to improve his computer's performance.

That explains the horrible lag I was getting

For the common consumer, that's plenty.

And I am actually interested in knowing how many people are actually using that wireless N with MIMO and if they are getting 600mbps or not lol. There are few ISPs if not none that provide commercial broadband services that approach anything near that speed lol. As far as I know, 200mbps is the fastest there is here.

 

[Hawke]

600MB/s is probably used in corporate and industrial settings like game or movie production, where giant files are transferred between a team. it's pretty useless for the average consumer.

Jerzey just has an errant desire to overcompensate.

I concur. My ePenis has not had a good stroking in some time.

@Konflakes, I was just pullin' ya leg, but 600Mbps transfers would be nice for a SOHO.

errrm


That is on Wi Fi

That's what it says. On my laptop I get 80mb/s wireless. But I doubt you ever really get that kind of speed when you download.

Fairly sure that request is measuring your bandwidth via your router.
If speedtest factors in your wireless router limitations, then most likely you're using 802.11n.

 

[cs6ranger]

just get one of these for a wifi adapter alfa awus036h They also make an 802.11N version but signal levels are better with the 802.11G version. I own a few of these and don't even consider anything else anymore for usb wireless as i've made decent connections a good 1/2 mile away through trees and a few walls with the stock antenna.

Hook me up with that shit. I have a cable running through my floor to my router still. And I get .86mb/s

 

[Cheese7710]

Apparently, my parents are thinking about drilling a hole in the floor and running the cable directly to the router. Hope it works

bad place for an Ethernet cable.

Go wireless.

Honestly, I don't understand why there aren't cable jacks in every room. In Alberta, it's building code to have at least one in every room where there's even a slight chance of a communications device requiring it (essentially everywhere except the bathroom). As a professional electrician, I tend to put two in major rooms (livingroom, master bedroom, dining room, etc). I've never had anything but thanks.
