The device speed for each is: Server: Intel 82567LF Gigabit: 10/100/1000 Mb/s Belkin Wireless F5D7230-4v7: 10/100 Mb/s Belkin ModemRouter F1PI241ENau: 10/100 Mb/s Asus Zenbook UX31: ath9k: 54 Mb/s RJ45 via USB: 10/100 Mb/s On an unloaded network I can get about 6.5 Mb/s when I use the cable connection to the laptop but nothing better than about 1.5 Mb/s for the wireless connection - and even that is when the laptop and the wireless router are only about 1.5m apart (the XFCE network icon shows connection quality is then at about 90%). Anyone know why the wireless performance is not better than this? -----Original Message----- Well, firstly if all your components for _wired_ are 100Mbps or better, You might start wondering why you only get 6.5Mbps.... That is already bad. Next, as you already said, quality 90%? You don't mention if it is dropping/reordering/corruption/.... But if you have 10% packet loss, you get lots of re-transmissions. Try other (less used) wifi-channels. And try a cross-cable between your laptop and server: you should be able to gat 99% saturation, if not 100%... hw ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
