I have high-speed intenet conection up to 7Mbs. Then I bought a Wi-Fi adapter, to connect both my PC & PS3 through it. On PS3 everything was pretty, no problems with Burnout online or PS Store. But then I noticed that it took longer to download the pages on PC, so I ran a speedtest, where it showed some ........ 1Mbs MAX with signal strengh at 75%! Does anyone know what to do, cuz I have no idea:(
That is bandwidth wise, not actually speed. To get around 7 mbs, you need to get one that at least does 108mbs. All of those dinky wi-fi adapters suck and you would be better of spending $80-$100 on a good router.
Some of you are confusing megabits per second and megabytes per second. In theory, your adapter should be able to handle your internet connection just fine. I'm guessing is just a bad signal. Try moving your computer right next to your router and see if you can get a good connection that way.
Yea that is a possibility because I had my room right by the living room and that was where my Mom's pc was at and router and I was using a adaptor as well wireless anyways when I moved and my room is now 27' away my signal comes and goes mainly goes then come.
I'm assuming that it would be mb b for bit cause when I'm able to get online there is a number by the mb and so that number is always going up and down. It goes from 54mb down to 18mb and when it is at 18 I can't get online at all but when it is on 54mb I can and it is fast. Also it hits numbers in between those 2. Like 48mb 36mb.
Far as the signal goes it goes from excellent to very goo and at very good I can't get on or if I do it is very slow but at excellent it is fast. But this up and down roller coaster is driving me batty.
[QUOTE="tdavis20050"]lots of wifi adapters cant run at 7mbps you should check the speed your adapter can run at. brandao25
It can run up to 11Mbs!
usually the router (just like usb) can run at about a tenth of the actual speed. You should order a G router and adapter 54mbs or even better an N which is around 300mbs and that should fiz your problem

My router runs a lot faster than 1/10 of actual speed when I'm file sharing between my computers.
