bryanlautt Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 Who on here uses wireless and who on here uses wired and what are your speeds and who are you with??? I myself spend most of my time on my wireless laptop and she has a wireless laptop as well and we do have a main pc thats wired but i mainly use that for our server for pushing and storing large data. I have Midcontinent for my ISP www.midcocomm.com and i have there midco max package which is unrestricted down and 512 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 I use both.. Wireless is a little slower but not by much.. I have never tried to game on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug7272 Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 I am wireless with a Linksys WRT54G and connect wireless to my laptop and PS3, I have ATT Yahoo DSL. I get a little over 5 mbps down and 600 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 I use wireless for everything, My 2 desktops, our 2 laptops and Xbox 360. its just as fast as wired i don't notice the difference unless i'm coping large files from pc to mac.

bryanlautt Posted March 19, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 It would be nice if they would come out with gigabit wireless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 It would be nice if they would come out with gigabit wireless thats no too far off. probably around the middle of 08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanlautt Posted March 19, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 thats no too far off. probably around the middle of 08. Yeah you would think because if they can have wireless networks as an ISP well they should be able to produce equipment for the consumers.

Swimmer Posted March 20, 2007 CID Share Posted March 20, 2007 thats no too far off. probably around the middle of 08. 802.11n is rated to 540Mbit/s.. I think 1GBit/s is a little ways off.. And 802.11n is still not ratified.. (I think it is in a 30 day performance review for Draft 2 right now..) There was a system that was able to hit 1GBit back in 2005ish.. Using MIMO, what 802.11n is based on, but it was also running at 100MHz.. Where as consumer product run from about 20-40MHz.. No doubt that ISPs will have wireless backbone capable of this type of speed.. but for the consumer level you have to minimize everything and make it reliable..

bryanlautt Posted March 20, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah i never did jump on the Pre N, I'll just wait untill N comes out of beta so to speak. If im going to have a 1Gig Lan might as well get my wireless smoking alot faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinoman22 Posted March 22, 2007 CID Share Posted March 22, 2007 I am new to this....so i will best explain how i got into this, Recently received an email from my isp (TWC NYCAP RR) claiming they were upgrading the speed to 10 Mbps download , prolly to compete with Verizon Fios, so @ the time i thought coolbeans... So i decided what kind of numbers i was pushing, I have a laptop so i figured I wouldn't be close to the 10Mbps as RR claimed, with overhead and latency. i expected at least 4-5Mbps TO MYSURPRISE , it was less, WAY less...and sure as S#!t it was barely 1Mbps . I was blown away, i keep a tight ship , no viruses here , no spyware, constant with peer guardian, and symantec corp, very basic unobtrusive. I figured either time warner was screwing me, capping the line or just plain lying. Time warner has a list of modems that support their 10Mbps download upgrade, as i checked with tech support Motorola 4200/4100 was supported for their so called speed increase. so i fired up google for speed test and came across here... found the cable nut, TCP optimizer, hacked the crap out of the registry followed all the easy and clear instructions, and it was night and day difference, the true potential, and claims of 10Mbps was achieved being hardwired to a d-link524 router, and moto 4100 cable modem, HBB1 hawking broadband booster( for QOS used mainly for voip and halo2) and cablenuts fast setting, and TCP optimizer. but i have a laptop ... i hate wires. so here are my results, Aces mate, game set match ... yep wireless dell 110l latitude stock,( ITT crappiest) other than cable nutstweaks and tcp optimizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets a little old at times for those of us in the business. JMHO... Thats true to a point but i can vouch that ISPs do have trouble at times like for instance im running about 4 to 5 right now and actually the trouble ticket has escaled all the way up to the network engineers and NOC. They believe its either the Node or somewhere between my place and the Node it kinda sucks right now but i guess at least im still getting around 4 or 5mb down but its a big difference from the 14mb connection that im suppose to obtain give or take a little at times but generally around 14mb But at least there giving me a 15 dollar credit for this month since im running bascially at there lower level package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
