Pen Argyl, PA | What wireless router are you using? So when I'm directly connected to my modem, I'm getting about 76Mbps download which is good! With my Linksys E1200 router, I'm getting about 25 Mbps wirelessly and around 50Mbps average on a wired connection. I am also getting slow internal speed to my servers, sometimes around 5MB/s when backing up my computer.
So this isn't much of a 'I'm having issues with my cable company" because I'm not and I'm getting the speed that I am paying for, but my router they gave me is the slowest part of my network. What are other people using for their wireless routers? Just trying to get an idea of what others are using for reaching their top speeds!
I have wireless devices in my house, and then wired going to my Dad's caption phone, TiVo device, printer server, my laptop upstairs, and switch (servers) down in the basement.
So I need a good wireless router for my phones and laptops, and maybe I can get my laptop wireless (right now, wired is faster for my needs). I could get a gigabit switch, going from a gigabit router -- so now I'm full gigabit -- 300 Mbps wireless.
What are others using and what do you recommend for my needs? |

| Other than local transfers, those sound like typical speeds for a router that is a couple or so years old. LAN to LAN speeds however should be closer to wire speed if there's not some other bottleneck, such as disk speed on the participating systems. Try something like iperf for LAN-LAN benchmarking to get a better idea of the router's limitations.

2nd clarknova  ... to test LAN to LAN transfers, get two PCs and iperf or similar, run a throughput test for
at least 3 - 5 minutes JUST on the device interconnecting them (the E1200). If it hits the full 100Mbps or 1000Mbps
that the E1200 and the NICs are rated for, then you're looking at a bottleneck on the endhosts themselves.

Dumb question, when you're hitting 5MBytes, how are you transferring, Windows fileshares?
