just wanted any wifi network. bought a 3com setup...
3com wireless gateway 11g (3crwe554g72) and 3com wireless 11g network pci cards to go with that.
my problem is: if i try to ftp anything inside the network it wont reach over 800kb/sek(if i change to other channels beside #6 it goes down to about 400kb/sek)? is this really normal? sounds way low.. the signal is 100% on all cards and less then 1meter away from the gateway also tried to download stuff from the internet and cant seem to reach over 400kb/sek when it should be much higher installed latest drivers from 3com (3crwe554g72_01_02_13 router, 3crdag675_1 card) should i just try to get something else(around same price range)/get new drivers or is this what to be expected from 54mpbs? |

actually im going to move to move it away a few meters with a wall inbetween so shouldnt be to close. could that be the reason for low speeds?
im short on power outages atm and recently bought the thing so havent had the time to look for a powercord with several connections>_< |

By the way, the figures you quoted are about right for 802.11b. Are you sure everything is set to operate at "g" speeds?

i would belive so to.. but all my nic's say its connected to 54mbps/11g and if i log into the gateway it says:
Client Type 11g i have still not moved the gateway(but it is around 1-2meters away with a bookshelf in between) and ive noticed several others have wifi in the building and if i log on to theirs connection i get much better ping values from remote sites. reason is my gateway getting flooded by to strong signal? going to lurk around today for a powercord (btw i seem to be the only one to use any security^_^) Last edited by menjaha : 05-13-2004 at 08:24 PM. |

dutch i wont use their connection(it was aproved btw..)
i have moved the gateway further away but it did not make much difference. lincomatic ive done several test transfers through lan, with small files its around 400-800kb/sec. a 457mb file took 07:47min at average 1mb/sec (with ethernet cable its +10mb/sec) anyone have any good idea whats up? edit: update ok tried to use all ethernet now through the gateway. result: 11mb/sec on average also tried using the ftp host on ethernet and connected with wireless comp #2 downloading. result: average 2mb/sec to a final 04:13min for 457mb file Last edited by menjaha : 05-14-2004 at 03:30 AM. |

As English isn't my native tongue, it might be I have failed Reading And Comprehension 101, but lets just dissect your original statement: Quote:
So in order to know that, you HAVE logged on to their connections... Did you have permission to do that ? A simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice... If "Yes", then no problem.. If "No", then you have committed a felony, even if it was just to ping another site. You utilized an Internet connection which you weren't authorized to use. Thats called stealing. And you have admitted it on a public forum. Remember that stupidity isn't a very good legal defence... Just my 0.02€'s worth... Dutch |
