However I can not bring a cable form the modem to this computer, and I want to speed up the WiFi - what can I do about it? Also, I do have suspicions about browsers just being slower, but this will need to wait until I speed the WiFi itself up.
I'm sitting on a laptop that I connect to wifi, and the speed test is less than half of my rated bandwidth. If I pick up the little android tablet and do the same test it is restricted ONLY by my purchased speed rating. The laptop has 802.11G single band capabilities (2.4GHZ). The tablet has Dual Band, B/G/N built in. My AP has MIMO and steerable antennas and dual bands and all sorts of magic I just barely understand. It is still true that unless you have a very late model AP, If you have any single 802.11G device on an 809.11N capable AP, don't be surprised if many stations get dragged down to G speed or lower. If you WIFI card can't do B/G/N, drop it and get one that can. These things are plug replaceable and cheap these days. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
