Can anyone out there answer a WiFi speed question for me ??
Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 1:52 am
I just recently bumped up my Sprint DSL broadband internet speed from 1.5 meg to 3.0 meg
and actually saved $6.00...
I ran a speed test using several sites available on the web and the computer that is hardwired to the modem and Linksys router is getting the new speed I paid for. My 3 other computers that are connected via WiFi though are only running at 1.5 meg or about 1467 kbs download & 478 kbs upload speed.
Why are my computers on WiFi running slower than the hardwired computer that is now working at the higher rate? My guess is that my router is not capable to to send any higher speeds to those remote computers but that is just a guess.
Would anyone know???
Thanks,
