If after moving a notebook and router around the room, playing with the antennas, rebooting the router on different channels, and turning all other devices off such as wireless mice, keyboards, and stereo equipment...and wireless transfers are still poor, what do you do?
Router: D-Link DIR-655 in N only mode
Laptop: Dell Wireless N card
Its normally connected between 117-130Mbps, but during transfers to my wired computer (at 100Mbps) it will suddenly just drop and fluctuate wildly between 13, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100Mbps and its all over the place. Time remaining to copy files doubles, triples, or even quadruples and my incoming bytes received via task manager drops to a fraction of what it was when it started.
This is the only time I have had any problems. Wireless performance outside of the network is stellar, pulling in 12,000kbps from a Speakeasy.net Chicago server. It can download files from a fast server at just over 1 megabyte per second (1,000 KB/s). It is the same performance my desktop system gets from the onboard Realtek card which is very impressive to see, before we could never come close to wired performance. I would no longer have to move the laptop within ethernet distance to connect to my router to move large files, as the speed should be the same wired or wireless - except for my little problem here.
I don't have any other N devices to swap and test so I have no way of telling if its the router or the laptop's N card itself.
To recap: transfer speed is poor between my wireless laptop and wired desktop.
What would you do? :shrug:
