50 meg, slow wireless speeds.. but 50 meg when wired ?

[Rs2k_Rider]

Hi all,

Got 50 meg installed the other day, was just about to call them and let rip when I thought .... hmmm lets see what its like wired... opps, get 49 meg is on test sites wired... yet on wireless I only get 10 meg if I am lucky !

What is going on ? Got a hp dv9700ea laptop, the router virgin game me is a D Link DIR-615... any settings need changing ?

I am getting really pissed with this now, who uses a wired connection mostly these days !

Grrr lol

Anyone know what to do here other than box it up an send it back ?

 

[Jooooles]

What speeds can the DIR 615 handle also with everyone of work today I'm not surprised things is a little slow.

Also when you do a speed test of a site I'm sure it forces the best out of your connection do you get the same results if you start a Ngroup download with grab it etc

do you get the same results if you start a Ngroup download with grab it etc

Plugged in direct to the router I get just shy of 50meg, even on ng's.... on wireless i dont get about 15meg... around the 10 mark.

It was NG's that got me wondering what was going on, when on wireless lol

On grabit I could not get above 15meg, did jump to 22 but then dropped straight back down lol !

What is the "draft" bit about :s is this not a true N band card ? :s

n has not been fully ratified yet and there is a few different versions (very slight anomalies) You may also have to turn off ab/g in the router also and have it only running on n.
