CA3LE Posted October 17, 2006 CID Share Posted October 17, 2006 wow, cool..... this isn't my fastest score... but it's my fastest score on the wireless on my laptop. I surprised that I was able to max out my connection, usually wireless runs quite a bit slower than the wired..... at least that's what I see everyone else having. -- I guess i just get a nice clean connection in my house, I guess having my router mounted at ceiling height makes the difference (I have a data closet at my house and the top shelf is about 10 inches from touching the ceiling. I was recently in California at a friends house for a couple of weeks and he had his router (same router I have) litterally on the floor. My connection dropped all the time and it was constantly having problems, pings were all over the place (they were like 52ms, 38ms, 460ms, 190ms, 39ms, 380ms -- it was crazy). So, if you have a wireless router I highly reccomend installing it as high up as you can. In fact, it's not a bad idea to mount it litterally to the ceiling. I've seen this done at some businesses (again.. with my same router.. lol). it really makes a difference. - just a heads up -D Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/15928-wireless-router-tip-for-a-cleaner-connection/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming you mean in a business Dlewis. A ton of ceiling fans at home might be over kill. But breezy though.

Ive been in houses that have a ceiling fan in each room, some even have 2 or 3. Ive even seen them in the bathrooms in some of the big houses.

tommie gorman Posted October 18, 2006 CID Share Posted October 18, 2006 So actually if they were in each room. OK, I thought you actually meant a ton of them in one room.

tommie gorman Posted October 19, 2006 CID Share Posted October 19, 2006 MJFSOL you are running a 2460 Kbps on a 5 Mbps connection speed over wireless. Are you in the USA What type of connection is it anyway. Wireless internet besides the wireless router?? Anyway that would appear slower than necessary. I wouold think it should be much faster.
