Wifi Transfer speed

[daniescholtz]

Hi,

Anybody tested the new dongle yet and can tell me how long it takes to copy a 700MB file? Wanna calculate what is the max transfer rate.

Some WLAN transfer speeds from a competitor (Xtreamer) for comparison:

Info: PC and Xtreamer are both connected to the router via WLAN; signal strength is stable and good.


Uploading to the media palyer's internal HDD: 1,20 MBytes/s
Downloading  from the media player's internal HDD to PC: 1,00 MBytes/s


Via WLAN g + using Windows Explorer to connect to the media player.

Any difference when using unencrypted versus WPA?

I have had these results with protection wpa2-PSK [aes], but I imagine that the benefits will best without protection.
During the weekend I will test

Hi guys,

I just got my Wifi mede8er dongle yesterday.

Did some tests after setup over Samba with Netmeter.
Upload to Mede8er - +-1.2 MB/sec
Download from Mede8er - +-2 MB/sec

Checked my Linksys WRT160NL and saw that is was not running on Wireless-N but Wireless-G mode.
Tried to play with some wireless settings to force it to connect to Wireless-N, but didn't succeed in that.

Any of you maybe some tips on router settings to force the wireless-n speed?
distance between router and mede8er wifi dongle is about 5 meters, signal quality is very good, so that cannot be the cause that my router is stepping down to wireless-g mode.

Edit:
Now with firmware 2.0.1 and a new Netgear router got it better:

Noticed that switching from WPA to WPA2 give some improvement over Samba (don't use NFS so couldn't test that).
Going from WPA to WPA2 with my new Netgear router improved from 2.5-2.8 MB/s average to 3.2 MB/s copy from PC to Mede8er. (with Teracopy).
