I just ran a quick iperf from my laptop to my nas storage server, theres a monowall box routing between the wireless subnet and wired subnet the server is on.. But this shouldn't affect the results as id expect the wireless network to be the slowest segment. This is a HP laptop very similar to yours (nx5000) in G mode to a linksyss WRT54gs, but I do have another 2 x wireless B devices on the network (and one is using remote desktop at the moment of this test being run) kyle(a)server:~$ iperf -c 10.3.68.2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 10.3.68.2, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 10.3.64.11 port 34591 connected with 10.3.68.2 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 19.3 MBytes 16.1 Mbits/sec kyle(a)server:~$ So you should definitely get some faster results than what you are seeing, I have noticed SCP's are always slow for me, so id recommend trying iperf and seeing what your results are. -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Jones [mailto:oliver(a)deeperdesign.com] Sent: Saturday, 27 August 2005 4:23 a.m. To: Waikato Linux Users Group Subject: [wlug] Wireless performance I've been twiddling with my wireless router settings and nothing I've changed so far has improved performance. Some appeared to degrade it a little. I'm still only getting 120kbytes/sec in gFTP/SSH. Which translates to about 1Mbit/sec. This is supposed to be a 54Mbit device. Come someone else with a 802.11g wireless network do a little throughput test and let me know what sort of data rate they get. Thanks. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
