Internet Gateway SpeedHave a D-Link DI-624 wireless router as the Internet Gateway. Win XP shows
its speed as 10.0 mps. The LAN connection speed is shown as 100 mps. The router is a "Super G" device capable of 108 mps, so I'm confused. The whole setup should be operating at 100 mps or better but it doesn't appear to be. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! John Your internet speed will be limited to the speed your ISP provides. For most
home users this will be only a fraction of 802.11b speeds. There are many sites on the Internet where you can test your download speed. For most users just browsing the Internet you'll never get the full Internet speed your DSL or cable ISP provides. My experience is seldom if ever does the LAN operate at it's full rated speed, even when transferring files between computers on your LAN (which would use the most of your bandwidth). -- Show quoteHide quoteDavid Hettel Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

The Wireless is capable
to connect at SuperG only if you have a matching SuperG card from D-Link. SuperG is rated as hardware clock 108Mb/sec. at best it would yield functional 40Mb/sec. You have to set the client card parameters to Auto. Pending on the environment it would yield the max possible under the circumstances. I.e if there is wireless related noise, or obstructions ,or you are too far away you would get less than max. http://www.ezlan.net/net_speed.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

Thanks for the feedback. There's no problem with the wireless card connection, I'm just wondering why the desktop computer which is wired to the router shows 10 Mbs for the gateway when the LAN is showing 100 Mbs and the router is supposedly operating at at least 100 Mbs. Not sure it really matters as downloads are pretty quick. John Show quoteHide quote "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: > The Dl-624 wire connection is the regular 100Mb/sec.

In some places, LAN's info. display does not actully measure the traffic, there is few optional numbers that can be displyed and choice is made according the closer category. Jack (MVP-Networking).
