Before posting my speed test stats I would like to point out a few things. My internet service provider is Comcast and I am on the 6mbps tier. My Router is a D-Link DI-514 802.11b and I got it around 2 and a half years ago. My computer is above average (Comp Specs: 3.0GHz P4, ATI X700, 2.50GB of Memory[2GB Corsair, 512 Stock], 250GB HD, etc,etc). Well now you know I wont be needing to upgrade my computer for a very long time, so lets get back on track.
A few days ago I tried bringing back my old Xbox MN-740 wireless adapter from the dead and I got it to work. Now I have an Xbox 360 and I thought now was the time to test out its Media Center capabilities. Instead I get turned down to a rather disappointing low signal performance test screen. I wasn't even in the acceptable area for a Standard Definition TV Signal. So to make a long story short, I need to know how much of a boost of speed can I get from upgrading to a 802.11g or a 802.11a router. I have 2 wireless G adapters already, so I dont know what router to pick.
And I have one last question. Why does it say im running at only 28.25% of my host's average?
