Linksys wireless router effective speed greater than 10MB VANITY

[motohockey]

I have FIOS fiber internet access 15megabits per second at home.
Using wdc.speakeasy.net with my wired NIC I get 13MB or greater always, but with wireless 802.11G the max I can get is 8MB.
No big problem, but I wonder if anyone else has seen effective speeds greater than 8MB .
I would definitely recommend Verizon FIOS fiber internet access for anyone who can get it.
Does anyone else who has FIOS at home able to get greater than 1.5 MB upload speeds?

My network connection is 54.0 Mbps

My wired home office network is 100.0 Mbps, 2 desktop computers, a laptop, and a network printer.  The transfer rate is 12 MB/sec.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Is there another site that tests this with a larger file?

Not that I know of.

The transfer rate is 12 MB/sec.
Out through the internet or from computer to computer there at home?
I've got a wired desktop, three laptops, a wireless print server, and a linksys VoIP modem.

I'll have to test this at the office.

Friend of mine works for the local telco ISP.  I'd give anything to have their network setup.  3 servers, two OC-3 (OC-3 = 155.52 Mbps) lines and one OC-12 (OC-12 = 622.08 Mbps).

Ahh, to dream...

I just tested it using wdc.speakeasy.net.
From their server in Seattle I got 1423 Kbps download and 215Kbps up.
To the Alanta server I got 1524kbps and 229Kbps.

Interesting...

their network setup
and what a DREAM

From their server in Seattle I got 1423 Kbps download and 215Kbps up.
To the Alanta server I got 1524kbps and 229Kbps.

Ah, you're closer to the Atlanta server. (fewer network hops and less network congestion)

I just did another test with interesting results.
I've got a Motorola surfboard cable modem to a linksys BEFSR41 wired router. Then i have a linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to the wired router. The wired router is my DHCP server. Then I go wireless to a Netgear printserver with 4-port switch. My linksys VoIP modem is connected wired to the Netgear switch. The VoIP modem has a fixed IP and is configured as a gaming port to get around my firewall.
I'm on my laptop with a wireless connection, my wife is on the desktop wired connection, and my daughter is on her laptop wireless.
I called a friend on my VoIP phone and ran the test from the Atlanta server.
The neither the download speed or the upload speed seemed to be significantly effected, but when the test went to upload, my friend could barely hear me. Download seemed to have no effect.

I thought that interesting.

If you have any 802.11b devices accessing your wireless router, I believe that knocks down the access rate for devices using 802.11g.

[GrandEagle]

Depends, most of the newer ones can arbitrate the different networks without difficulty.

Did you go here yet?

[Khurkris]

can anyone translate this?

Sorry if my post wasn't clear. I have fiber to my laptop and I put in megabytes instead of megabits per second. When I hook up my laptop to the router via fast ethernet 10/100 I get 13+ megabits per second downstream and 1.5megabits+ upstream.

When I connect to the linksys router via my 802.11G card I get less than 8 megabits per second downstream while upstream remains 1.5+ megabits per second.

I am not complaining that my speed is too slow, I am just wondering if anyone has successfully connected with greater than 10 megabits per second using an 802.11G card.

I do not have any other wireless users connected to the linksys at the moment, and I have the wireless router set to use 802.11G only.

I am considering upgrading to an 802.11 pre n device, but first want to see if anyone else can successfully get greater than 10 megabits per second out of their card.

I only pay 50 per month for 15megabits per second downstream and 2 megabits per second upstream and the service has been excellent. We are considering getting the television over the fiber in the future also.

I tested the speeds to speakeasy's dc and new york servers from right next to the antennae of the linksys router and the speed is listed by the card as 54megabits per second.

Thanks

I don't have any problems getting the higher speeds when connected via fast ethernet so I don't think my tcp/ip and mtu settings need to be adjusted, but I'll check and see if the settings for my wireless connection are using different settings.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks GrandEagle,

Using the site you gave me I get

But I am located in VA and their servers are in Seattle so I think this is why my results aren't better.

Here are my results from Speakeasy.net's Washington DC servers (

Err, what's the problem then? 1712 Kbps up is 1.67 Mbps. You're rated for an upload speed of 1.5 Mbps, so you're doing quite well.

Hey.
