| Unfortunately wifi is not all it's cracked up to be. If you have 54Mbps connection that is shared between the sending and receiving, plus interference from another wireless devices as well and other computers. Where as 100/1000 at full duplex allows that amount of bandwidth for each computer.
If you router supports channel hopping that is a good feature as it will jump between channels if it gets interference. The latest 108Mbps connections just use multiple channels. Hard wired LAN is the go if you want good speeds though, but not always convenient. If you get inference or a bad single you can greatly increase you connection strength by getting a large gain antenna for both the adapter and the router. Do a channel scan make sure there are no other wireless devices using the same channel as you are.
Good luck. |
