Beyond that ... many wireless routers - unless 'N' or better, are 54 or 108Mbps - and that doesn't include overhead.
Many wireless routers also have 100Mbps ports (haven't seen many that have GigE ports attached, unless they're the WAN port.
Just the opposite for me. My last three wireless routers each had 4 gigabit ports. And my current one is the first router I've owned that has a gigabit WAN port.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21637122 Thu, 25 Dec 2008 22:34:28 EDT Re: Downstream is nice but.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21636806 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21636806 Thu, 25 Dec 2008 20:49:07 EDT Re: Downstream is nice but.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21634188 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21634188 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 22:47:46 EDT Re: Downstream is nice but.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Downstream-is-nice-but-21633861 said by dadkins:

100mbs is a tough thing to do. Not necessarly technically, but people are always expecting improvement in the internet speed area.

After 100mbs, it gets sticky. 99% of all ethernet cards out there are rated at 100, which means they cant get any higher than that. People would have to upgrade TONS of personal equipment (not only multiple aspects of hardware, but some OS software too) to get above 100.
And most of the newer computers/cards have gigabit and that is becoming standard.
My 4 1/2 year old laptop has a gigabit NIC. :)
So does my cheapa$$ compaq i got at wal*mart.

i think you MISSED that WITH IN THE NETWORK thing
so you cant pull all 100Mbps who cares its like being on any 100Mbps lan but you can share stuff with your buddies down the street at full wire speed
