WiFi Speed Test 802.11n vs 802.11g (Linksys Wireless-N Router)

[lottabullets54]

if anyone can tell me how I can reconfigure my 802.11n adapter to be a 802.11g adapter I would be extremely greatful

[HurricaneGaming2011]

will a new modem increase my upload i dnt mind my donwload upload is 0.37mbps and i have had my modem for 4 or 10 years

[johnpkelly05]

@HurricaneGaming2011 4-10 Years? Thanks for being precise.

[jackburton2009]

That's not accurate, your internet connection is fully capable of being carried by G. Typical wireless G throughput is around 20-25Mbps and my WRT54GL routers with Tomato and with the settings tweaked I get 30Mbps.

[CharizardFireGod]

I'm using a G connection and I get 18Mbps down 16Mbps up on speedtest. If I connect to wired the speeds are 20-20. I expected alot more from N, maybe 60 or 80...

[jackburton2009]

@CharizardFireGod You're not going to go faster than your connection with your internet service provider. Speeds also vary quite a bit during the day from your provider. You don't need N for internet sharing unless your internet connection is more than 25 Mbps, which for most people it's not.

[cal920c]

@CharizardFireGod actually it depends on your ISP not on your connecrtion

[SIOYGYG]

you have shitty ping

[jishan22]

i can see your ip address it is 72.199.194.247, or you changed your ip address...

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@jishan22

thats not my ip address i think its the server address that im connecting/testing too

[Everything4Mac]

@SunDaygoPinoy nope thats your ip buddy

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@Everything4Mac then i guess my ip changes since everytime i go to speedtest it changes

[Shrieken213]

@SunDaygoPinoy Apparently your city and state are up there too

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@Shrieken213 wrong thats my state but not my city.....

[faztclix]

@Everything4Mac

ISP's WAN IP actually

[dv6000hp]

A really pointless video, your running this test over the internet. Try tranferring a large file between to laptops within your own network (Intranet). And switch between the N(MIMO) and the G Routers.

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@dv6000hp

that was the point of the video....

[captainpiccard]

@SunDaygoPinoy dv6000hp is right, these test need to be done locally...

[dv6000hp]

@SunDaygoPinoy You never mentioned this at all, you just said "WiFi Speed Test 802.11n vs 802.11g (Linksys Wireless-N Router) "

[dv6000hp]

@dv6000hp Sorry SunDaygoPinyo I ment this at PaulF721. I do think it was a good video, don't get me wrong. I just thought the title was missleading not a personal attack at all. It just funny that non technical people think that if they go from a 54mbs to 150mbs when in reality a connection that fast can only happen on the wireless side not on the WAN side. and that if you have a computer that is wired 10/100mbs you shouldn't expect 150mbs.

[dv6000hp]

@dv6000hp It is nice to see that it appears you do get a speed improvement. Not sure if it is due to faster switching speed, or just more headroom in the pipe.

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@dv6000hp

oh ok

i just wrote what it said on the internet status so forgive me

[PaulF721]

@dv6000hp SunDaygoPinoy is right, the point of the video is to see how it affects internet speed. There are tons of videos out there that show how fast it is between computers, which is fine, but what I wanted to know was, not will my transfer speeds between computers be faster if I switch to N, but will my actual internet usage be faster over N.

[wireless2107]

WTF...

[YOUCANNOTDENY]

For Wireless G I get about 20Mbps on speedtest and for Wireless N I get about 30Mbps. It's funny how Wireless N get's a better ping than gigabit ethernet on my computer. I think that speedtest is inconsistent because using the same wireless adapter, I get a 179Mbps download average on my other laptop in speedtest.

[jadayMisha]

неплохо! надо будет протестить

[BADASSEDWIN]

hey doesn't it also depends what type of internet you have? Like if you have the cable internet and you have the 20mps deal or the 1mps deal... will the router make you more download speed or more megabytes... Like if i have the 1mps deal like i do and i buy the n gaming router will i have 20 MB?

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@BADASSEDWIN

im not sure about the type of cable internet but the router does make alot of difference

im not sure how many mbps my internet provider offer but in my computer i only get 54 mbps but in my laptop i get 150 mpbs!! SAME router just different type of reciever b/g on comp and N in laptop

[Willage5565]

you're not going to show a difference in internet connection speed between 802.11g and N mate, them kinds of things depend on your ISP, Plans, distances from servers, ping/latency and so on

the difference between them is things like better signal quality, faster LAN, etc

(802.11g 54mbps, 802.11n 300mbps)

should also note that 80211n is only the draft version out right now, not the final certified version, but it did recently get certified so it might be in stores

[cr9527]

it depends entirely on your internet connection and how many people are using that connection mate.

If you are the ONLY one using that router, and your internet speed is below 54mbps, then you would see no difference between N and G when accessing Internet.

[dv6000hp]

@SunDaygoPinoy Due a Ctl, Alt, Del go to networking tab and see what the % of utilization is, I'm curious to see what it would be? While doing a speed test.

[SunDaygoPinoy]

@dv6000hp

oh ok

anyways

download (max 12.50%) average 4%

upload (max 2.75%) average 1%

Down(g) (max 31%) average 10%

Up(g) (max 7%) average 2

by max i mean the highest it went during a single test and average is where it hovered the most during a single test. I tested twice it was almost the same

[dv6000hp]

@BADASSEDWIN Nope it wont kick it up to 20mbs. It may improve as far as the LAN side but not the Cable Modem side, WAN side.

[tijuanotj]

mm!!

[x5ite]

draft N is not the final version of the protocol, thus not having the same speed and range as the 802.11n has ... that's why I was asking, because I know 802.11n just got approved

[SunDaygoPinoy]

oh thats what you mean. then no i got the final then its a 802.11n my laptop model is less than 2 months old(produced)

[x5ite]

quoted from wikipedia:

802.11n is a recent amendment which improves upon the previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and many other newer features. The IEEE has approved the amendment and it was published in October 2009. Enterprises, however, have already begun migrating to 802.11n networks based on the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification of products conforming to a 2007 draft of the 802.11n proposal.

[x5ite]

is that draft n?

[SunDaygoPinoy]

if you mean if its a N or a G yes both my laptop and my router are N's but i can switch my laptop to wireless G mode so i can connect to G routers but i dont have to since it does it automatically. just to show the different speed
