said by montecarlo1:I have a question for TheTechGuru:
With your examples of wired/wireless with and without gigabit speeds, are those "internal" home network LAN speeds with a home networking device or not? How do you conduct this test, or if you did not do it personally; how is this test conducted in your images? Please, please explain in detail.
Please reply.
Thank you!
Tests were performed from a Windows 2008 R2 server on my LAN running MS-IIS and serving up the speedtest from a RAMDRIVE so that the hard drive speed would not be a bottleneck (hence why the download is better than the upload) I did all the speed tests on my Core i7 laptop using it's Realtek PCIe gigabit wired LAN adapter and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 wireless adapter's.
For the wired tests I changed the mode on the laptop's side for the adapter from 1000base TX AUTO, to 100base-TX Full duplex then to 10base-t full duplex.
For the wireless tests I changed the modes in the router from N only 40mhz, to N only 20mhz, then to G only then to B only.
IMHO, if you're buying any new equipment, go gigabit, you'll eventually need it for something in the future, buying old technology is just throwing money away.
