I was supposed to get it after midnight tonight, but someone jumped the gun at BT and let it out of the bag a day early..... Done a couple of speed test and my gast is flabbered............. Download speed of 74 meg Upload 17.5 Ping 25 The sites seem to appear even before I complete the click on the mouse...... Still wondering if I really need it, but I save about 5 quid a month, which I know is neither here nor there, but if it is that fast I will be able to watch netflix and Prime without buffering.... Bring it on.... The girls will be made up and I won't get the earache of the WI-Fi not reaching the bedroom.... With this baby I can get WI-FI in the car park outside.
I'm jealous haha I live in a village that time (and technology) forgot. It does have its advantages though, I loose the signal on the company mobile just as i turn into the cul-de-sac...very handy
I have BT summat or other, but only get about 40megawotsits. Better than the 4 megathings that I was getting with the Post Office though. Facebook still takes a few minutes to fully open. Yawwwwn.
Well BT claims the SH6 is the most powerful wifi router out there compared to the other major players' routers
I remotely support our customers and one can immediately tell when browsing our online ordering system from their PC when they have a fast connection. Generally quite noticeable at 70+ MB and upwards.
My router is sending the signal at 150 somethings per second. Is that good ? Perhaps need to sort out my 2003 PC now.
Sounds like you are probably using Wireless N (802.11N) which transmits around that speed. http://homenetworkadmin.com/wireless-b-vs-g-vs-n-vs-ac-difference/ I think my laptop communicates with my router around 650MBs
Yup the wireless will easily be accomodating your broadband/fibre. Wifi might go faster if you replace the PC but the bottleneck would be the broadband anyhow.
Sadly lucky to get 9 meg, coupled with her poor connection out there conversations take a while! But I'm leaving for the Phils on Thursday for 6 weeks so can't wait! Yippppeeeeeee
I installed the super super duper router myself. Just move the cables from one to the other do the online password thingy and bobs youruncle.
Your new router may well have a better range than your old one, but as oss says, it is most likely more to do with better antenna placement or orientation. That or the new router has a higher power built in transmitter. Speed has no direct correlation to range is the point that I was trying to make.
Yeah, also sometimes more importantly the channel selection can make a big difference, a couple of weeks back I found that just about every bloody router in the building had decided to follow me to channel 1 So I moved to channel 8 manually to try to get some clear air and that has worked so far, auto channel selection can be pretty crap at times and all I have to get through is one fairly thin wall at a maximum range of 4 metres (I live in a shoebox ) Most of my kit is quite old and just running on 802.11n and I'm not sure the crappy Sky router actually supports anything better to be honest.
