If 1.5Mbps upstream isn't fast enough for you... you've got way bigger problems than wifi.

[xrp]

Your connection upstream from your router is only going to be whatever your ISP allocates for you. DSL or Cable modem, most upload maximums are 128kb/ps-384kb/ps. So you could connect to your wireless 802.11g @ 54Mb/ps and still only have 1.5Mb/ps down - 384kb/ps up from your DSL provider.

I have FIOS fiber

I use this.

[xrp]

Nevermind, I just re-read and saw that you have fiber to the house. Must be nice!

Check your settings on the router, maybe you set it for 11Mb instead of 54Mb.

[Ramius]

FYI... the only reason that upstream and downstream are different in the first place is going to be because of throttles on the ISP's end.

They don't want to offer home users that much upstream bandwidth because then you and lots of people like you would get into the hosting bidness and clog their network.

I'm running mediacom through a linksys wireless G router and using http://speed-test.net/ I'm getting these results:

You need more than 1.5 MB/Sec? You hacking into DARPA there, sport? I'd give my left cojone for that.....LOL

My network connection is 54.0 Mbps

The bandwidth of 802.11G is dependent on the distance between points. The closer they are the higher the bandwidth that is available (assuming it is configured properly). Also, MB is mega bytes and Mb is mega bits. 1.5 MB per second would be 12 Mb per second.

The Upload test..

Does it work they way you want it to?

[BigSkyFreeper]

There are 8 bits in 1 byte, so for example if your transfer speeds are 12 megabits per second, you're really getting 1.5 megabytes per second (e.g. 12^6 or 12000000 divided by 8).

My 1200 baud modem just screams.

[isthisnickcool]

If you push the phone receiver deeper into the two black cups will it make it go faster?

[coconutt2000]

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

Did you go here yet?

can anyone translate this?

Hey.
