i did a quick search to see if this has been discusssed recently, but i didnt see anything pertinent. ive been having really poor wireless speeds lately.
i have 4 laptops, 3 that are G capable, and one thats a B only. my wap is an older linksys wap54g (original version, actually). the computers connect and notate they are connected at 54mbps, but realistically, i have clocked them in a only a fraction of that. i tested each of my 4 laptops, and wrote down their speed while doing an ftp transfer.
2 of the G laptops top out about 16-19 mbit, the B only tops out at 2.78. my other G laptop (running a freebsd beta, using a driver for the intel 2200 thats fairly fresh i believe) connects at G, states 54mbit, but transfers at B speeds.
so WTF? is 16-19mbit par for the course? do i need a new wap? should i run 2 waps, and segregate the B's from the G's?
