internet speed

fallen2004 · 05-06-2007, 01:36 AM

i am planning on getting wireless, i would like to know what speed of internet can i get out of it. i know there are different speeds of routers i am planning on getting 54mb/s. ALso will this be fast enough for LAN gaming.

Hello,
You will be ablt to get cable/ADSL ect out of it bascially and Internet should be fine.
It is not called LAN(Local Area Network), But over wireless it will still work and you should have no problems.

THX
adding some info, i have 2meg cable broadband what download speed will i get over the wireless will it be the same as though it was on 1 compute normaly wired?

Well at home I have 1.5mb, I get the same speed on the wirless to my laptop, as I get to my computer that is direct. Sometime I might get an extra 5 to 10 kb/s on the computer, but it is not much.

To find out how fast your downlaod speed would be for a rought estimate,
2mb (Mega Bits) so that would be 2,000 bits , and there 8bits in a byte so what you ned to do is divide it by 8.
So that would be roughly 250 kb/s per second.
Sorry if i got some the names wrong, in explaining it!

Hope this is what you were after

in case anyone out there might nit-pick or just require additional info)
2MB = 2048,000 kbps or 2048,000,000 bps (kbps = KiloBits Per Sec) (bps = Bits Per Sec)

Divide by 8 will give 256 kbps or 256,000 bps

if the data is coming from a router the only reason for getting different speeds would be because of "overheads" possibly caused because of bad signals or errors in transmission requiring retries. If you are getting a good signal with no interference from other sources then you should see similar speeds as would normally be picked up by a wired link.
