logik

my hardwired speed could've been better,

but this seems to be due largely in part to

wirless BS. any ideas to help my speed?

below are hardwired tests (in chronological order) that i did to make sure that it wasnt just a wireless issue.

the average of my hosts average percentages was 78.84 (hardwired).

im using mac osx and airport extreme base station.

its ~15 feet away, and passes through 1 wall. still,

my speed sucks compared to what it used to be.

with windows, hardwired, my connection was insane.

anyone have any ideas how to help?
