internet speeds.

Here's mine:

You guys are sooo slow!

[mhyde71]

[eulogious]

Pusses When are you all gonna get some real speed



Gotta love "100mbps" both ways

[fuzzysnuggleduck]

I'm close, eulogious!

That don't count. That's a government connection, of COURSE it's gonna be fast.

[eulogious]

Well, that was the speed of the connection I was posting from, so it's not like I cheated



That's my home speed, which is lame The upload ain't bad, but the download sucks. I think I need to look into that, I am paying for a 22mbps connection. Man, I hate comcast.

[eulogious]

I'm close, eulogious!

Damn, them some good pipes! Gotta love government funded connections!

Ok, figured it out. Wifi. Any device on wifi (802.11g, 802.11n won't have this issue) will be limited to around 12mbps, since I am not the only one with that number...



From a wired connection, it's much better

I connected to my 802.11g access point and got 25.7mbps/4.32mbps
My 5GHz 802.11n access point got 30.88mbps/4.32mbps
My 2.4GHz 802.11n access point got damn near the same (which it should)
This is all in one router BTW.
Only a 5.2mbps difference...

So, in summary, your router sucks.

Wow, thanks for that. Totally not needed at all. Just trying to have fun man… No need for the attitude.

And for the record, I don't care if my router sucks, and it doesn't BTW. The router was free 5 years ago, and runs ddwrt. Works great for what I need. Oh and I am 50+ feet away through several walls, but that wouldn't have anything do with it now would it Radio waves travel through walls with no signal loss at all, right? I wasn't trying to be all scientific and shit, I can do that just as well as you, just trying to have a little fun… Sorry I brought it up actually. Meh, oh well. (and I could be on the rag, so sorry if I took you wrong )

Now back to real life…

[stipud]

Ya think?

NOO MY ROUTER!!

[eulogious]

Ya, after seeing all the guy drama around here, I edited my comment as I seemed like an ass, and didnt want to cause any more drama that's already here

All I have to say is that Joerg schooled us all from our home connections, that's for DAMN sure!

[Thumper88]

lol....calm down son....I didn't mean to insult your router, or you.

I guess while on the subject, here's my router:
http://www.ubnt.com/rspro
Running DD-WRT.
With these cards installed:
http://www.ubnt.com/sr71a (setup for 5GHz 802.11n)
http://www.compex.com.sg/fullDescription.aspx?pID=90 (1W 802.11g)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0456041155 (generic Atheros card, 802.11n/g)

All installed in this case: http://store.netgate.com/RouterStation- ... 1C127.aspx
It's crazy seeing 7 antennas coming out of it....it is a beast.

Electromagnetic waves.... Took the class last semester. http://www.eecs.umich.edu/emag/

Cool, thats why I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially not a "random" internet person. The internet sucks for trying to convey emotions, so what is truly intended behind words is very hard to tell without body language. So no harm, no foul

Damn, that's a nice setup! Little "fancier" than mine. I used to have a p4 1.6ghz/w 2gb of ram running gentoo as my router and my wrt54g just acting as an access point and a WDS bridge to another wrt54g running ddwrt, but an bad system update due to a bad memory module that caused bash to not update and fail forced me to used my wrt54g with ddwrt on it for my router. Works just fine for what I need at the moment, but your setup looks sweet!

You got your HAM radio license? I just picked mine up a couple of months ago. Just got my tech cert, going to go for the extra here shortly. Lots of good theory of radio waves in general. I learned alot about all that stuff. Took an online class for that. Wasn't specifically dealing with electromagnetic waves, but since all "radio" waves are of some sort of electrical magnetic force it can all be applied. It's good stuff!

While on my phone I went to the site and did the test via the cell phone.

What I got was:
DL- 16.25g
UL- 2.9th

Mine sucks, how can I remady this?

It doesn't suck....it really depends on the area you live in.
I live in a college town, so my connection is excellent.
Although my newer modem seemed to increase my speed a bit:
