In our home we have a wireless router (802.11g, pretty old) that connects to quite a few devices (~10). I noticed that we weren't getting the internet speeds I expected us to get based on what we were paying for, so I did some tests on wired vs. wireless connections. Here is the data:
(All tests are for download speed through the site speedof.me; upload speeds were all basically the same.)
Laptop 1 (802.11n network card, tested within few feet of router) Wired : 53.38 Mbps Wireless : 18.08 Mbps
Laptop 2 (802.11g network card, tested within few feet of router) Wired : 31.94 Mbps Wireless : 11.89 Mbps
Desktop (802.11n network card, further away from router though) Wireless : 11.27 Mbps
I'm tempted to believe that it's our old router that's causing the disparity between wired and wireless, but do you think getting a new (802.11n router I presume) would increase the speed of wireless?
