eclip Posted August 1, 2006 CID Share Posted August 1, 2006 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? :::..

coknuck Posted August 1, 2006 CID Share Posted August 1, 2006 eclip, Welcome to the forum. You are being lumped in with other Comcast users who have boost or higher packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
