TabeyTabe Posted January 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Oh yeah! definitely!! Quick question... I just did the tweaks on my laptop, but the increases weren't as dramatic... I'm only getting about 1.9mbps on it. I't wireless over an 802.11b connection Should I expect my laptop's speed to be about what my desktop speed is? Or should I expect it to be that much slower since it's only on an 802.11b connection? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Unfortunately, going wireless means losing speed. Does your laptop have a NIC? If so, I'd consider hooking it up directly and seeing if there's much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TabeyTabe Posted January 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Heh, well, just tested again and got 3.2mbps... I'll take that on my laptop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 Not bad at all. If you find that your speeds fluctuate, your wireless card may have come with an antenna that will increase signal reception. Otherwise, just be sure that your system is squeeky clean.
