| 1276136 | 2012-05-18 20:50:00 | Oops .. the Netbook is a N. It goes connects at 54Mbps only. Same with old D-Link router. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1276137 | 2012-05-18 21:28:00 | Just basing on a single video file - 200MB located upstairs (Desktop Wifi G), downstairs dining room laptop G. Netbook N is off. Laptop G goes at 1,000 then 980KB/sec (as reported under Windows 7). Changed to 20Mhz channel - no change. Maybe 1,000KB/sec = 1MBps = 8Mbps is normal with 2x Wifi G computers :confused: Tried with a single ISO file as well - same speed. Seems strange. Maybe client computer. B/c thru the Internet I could download up to 1,700KB/sec. Then: Dekstop PC upstairs is still G. Downstairs laptop G - disabled Wifi. Plugged network cable to router, I get 2,000KB/sec copying the same file by the same way ..... hmmmm. |

| 1276138 | 2012-05-18 22:25:00 | Keep in mind that wifi is only half-duplex so if you're copying device <-> device over wifi, you're never going to get as fast speeds because wifi can only send or receive, it can't do both concurrently. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1276139 | 2012-05-19 00:45:00 | Re: the Netbook G wifi - under the taskbar the connection is only 54Mbps. Windows 7 Starter. Is that normal. . As I said, If you want full N speeds at 300Mbps than you will have to make all the devices on your network compatible with N, meaning install N cards on all computers. Once you put in a wifi G device, all speeds will drop to match the lowest card. My desktop has a N card so its connected at 300Mbps. My mate comes over with his old laptop with wifi G and my connection drop to match his G speeds... 3811 |

Acer Aspire One 522 with: Atheros AR5B95 Wireless Network Adapter On the router... is your wireless mode set to include b, g, n? Thats the current setting on mine. Also the Bandwidth is set to 20/40Mhz.... if I set it to 20MHz than my connection drops to 150Mbps. |

| 1276142 | 2012-05-20 04:10:00 | Doesn't seem to have a B G N setting . Under "802 . 11n Rate" it's Auto . Under Bandwidth it's "20Mhz in Both Bands" . There is also "40Mhz in Both Bands" or "Auto" that I can select . |

| 1276143 | 2012-05-20 04:11:00 | Try 40mhz | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1276144 | 2012-05-20 05:11:00 | Try 40mhz Still 54. Turned all computers and cellphones off. Restarted router too. |

| 1276145 | 2012-05-20 10:08:00 | Still 54. Turned all computers and cellphones off. Restarted router too. 802.11n Protection It is similar as 802.11g protection. In Auto mode the router will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11n performance in mixed 802.11n/ 802.11g/ 802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11n throughput under most conditions Check the above settings.. got that off the router manual. Besides that not really sure why you are not getting full N connection. |
