Download speeds with 802.11b Card

The Troll · 2005-11-14 14:26:43

Was wondering what download speeds i should be getting with this card? I'm using Esats BB plus package - 2Mb Downlink. The laptop i'm using is in the next room to my router.

Given correct conditions.

The actual throughput of the 802.11b card is closer to 5.5Mb/s

your wireless card wont limit your speeds over broadband (unless the signal is really bad). my 3Mbit broadband works fine over my 802.11b network

Theoretically been the appropriate word, of course it depends on how far away you are from your wireless access point (how many walls/floors) as long as you get more then 2mbit/s on the wireless connection though ye should be grand
