Wireless Speed Vs Wired Speed

Hi all, This is my first post. I have a brand new Linksys WRT54G router and a new Dell Inspiron 5150 with a TM1300 wireless b/g card. When I goto speed tests, i get almost 3 mbs for my wired and when I try the wireless I get like 1.2 to 1.5 mps? I have Excellent signal strenth. Is this normal for wireless?? Thankyou for any help.. Tryton

Peabody, MA		 How are you measuring this speed? You should be getting at least 16mbps

Re: Wireless Speed Vs Wired Speed

he clearly staed this. WPA does slow things down if it supports vpn use that with ipsec instead less overhead

Peabody, MA		 WPA shouldn't slow it down this much. Is the computer that your testing the wireless on able to get that faster speed while connected to the wired ethernet segment of the network?

u/l = 341kbps

laptop speeds wireless
d/l = 1324kbps
u/l = 349kbps

laptop no security wireless

Peabody, MA		 What are the specs of the laptop compared to those of the desktop? What kind of software (anti-virus, firewalls, etc.) is running in the background of each?

Port Ludlow, WA		 Compare the TCP receive window settings between the two computers using Doctor TCP. The wired unit probably has a larger window than the laptop. If so use the larger number on the laptop.
