W3V wireless speed

I seem to be having lower transfer rates than expected. I have a 3 megabit download DSL connection. If I test download speeds from my provider (verizon) on my desktop or even my old laptop with a wireless card, I consistently get just under 3 mb/s. With the w3v I can't get above 1.5 mb/s. I'm using a netgear wireless router (WGR614v2). My connection is always reported as 54mb/s and excellent, obviously well above my broadband speed. I've reinstalled the intel proset drivers, configured it for 802.11g only, disabled power management, and I not using the wireless mouse, nor do I have any other 2.4ghz devices. I also tried the drivers from Intels site. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks.

 

Thats interesting, Im supposed to have a 8mega ADSL line but I have never seen it go above about 1.5 as well, but I have only tried it via wireless on my M6Ne and M2N. Thus I figured it was that my telephone line was crappie and wasnt good enough to supply the full 8meg. I will try ethernet connection tonite to see if I get a faster internet connection. Maybe we have the same problem...could it be a netgear router issue?

ps using a netgear router FWG114p i think from memory. I also have good 54mb/s connection to my network....so it shouldnt be a bandwith issue.

It's a problem with the Intel Wireless card. Mine is the exact same issue. I believe the card drops the connection intermittenly...

My connection seems ok, it's just the max speeds I can obtain. My last laptop (a Toshiba A4) which I have since returned, had the Intel 2200 card and was fine. I guess I'll have to check out speeds on other networks and see if it's a specific issue between my router and the intel A/B/G card. I was using my hospital's wireless network the other day and had poor download speeds, but I have no idea how much bandwidth was available. Interestingly, the upload speed approached 2.5mb/s so the transfer rates, at least uploading, can get up there.

 

Hi,
I've been having undesirable higher latencies in only one particular game, which is the world of warcraft. on my desktop pc with a linksys pci card im able to obtain 100-200 ms (i'm situated in singapore and server is in US). but on my W3v the latencies just goes up to about 500-700ms ... its playable though.. barely. I'm thinkin of getting a super long lan cable to connect my router to my w3v to sub for wireless.. hope the latencies will be sweet.

Ok I've just done some tests and there definitely seems to be a limit of 1500kb/s download via wireless. If I plug directly into the router I get around 3500-4000kb/s, which is almost triple the performance. Note that this occurs with both intel 2100 and 2200 wireless cards on my M2n and M6ne respectively. I have upgraded the firmware on the netgear router to the latest available and this makes no difference. Thus it must be a problem with the intel wireless cards. Note that even at 1.5mb/s I still only use around 10-15% of the avaiable bandwith on wireless b (2100) card so it shouldn't be an issue of bandwidth, also I'm only 1m from the router so connection is excellent. There is no dropout and I have never had issues with lost connection...only that I can get the full speed of my internet connection via wireless. I will do some searching about this issue and see if I can find a solution.

WOOHOOO it worked a charm.
Just change the TCP recieve window value to 65000 for your wireless card, reboot and viola you should now have super fast internet speeds. I just got 4.5mb/s on my m2n with 2100 intel card. That is cool now my internet tv will stream properly.
This is a great day...

Thanks underpantman. That was next on my list to try. I'll have to give it a try when I get home.

Ok found the solution, use drtcp to change max RWIN to 65000 on your wireless card....aparantly XP sp2 defults this to 17000 thus the cap on wirless download speed of 1500-2kb/s.
I am doing mine now will let you know if it works

It worked! Full speed now.

 

Nice one there now theres no more latency spiking up at desperate moments!

Well, my connection hasnt dropped below 54mbps, very solid... ever since i updated my intel wlan driver.. got this from the wireless and networking section in this forum: https://secure.filesanywhere.com/xELinkMain.asp?crypt=%97%8Cz%97zs%81%86%93r%92%AA%A6z%87%9B%B3%5Dy%A7%95%A1%99%9F%9Epz%7C%82a%82a%7DiL%87%9A%7Dt%95%8D%8C%82%82%5F%5C%81%81%86h%83%97%95v%AB%98%8C%86%B9%C7%B4%92%AD%C3%9D%A7%A9%7B%9F%9C%C7%96%C5%7E%9D%9D%A0

Oh, btw, that's on a public wifi network, no idea what hardare the router/AP is.

 

Just downloaded DrTCP. Tested through CNET, cause I couldn't remember anything else offhand.

Before: throughput was 777.1 Kbps

After: throughput is 13076.9 Kbps

So there's a *slight* improvement -- not quite 17X...... [ ]

 

Yeah I'd be pretty disappointed with only a X16 improvement, that really hurts...lol
glad to see its working for everyone.
Happy speed surfing
