What is your average 2.4GHz 802.11g/n throughput

[eccerr0r]

In the beginning when I first got 802.11g wifi, I was getting 2.5MB/sec. But now, I unfortunately don't have way too much N/ac or 5GHz gear, but noticed my average throughput dropping like a rock. I barely get 1MB/sec on average. Sometimes 500KB/sec is a stretch. I almost never see that 2.5MB/sec anymore during any part of the day.

With the wide proliferation of wifi, are people seeing the same thing? I simply can't believe people constantly saturating their wifi and thus interfering with mine.

I'm just using Cat5 for now when I just need to get data from one machine to another. Even 10Mbit is sometimes faster than wifi...

Way more than that. You should get like 5+MB/s on single band N no problem.

Im lucky, channel 11 is all mine. Everybody else is piled around channel 3... Check the channels in use around you and adjust accordingly.

Well more than 3, I've no problem pulling around 20 MB/s on N300 file transfers. Using a WNDR4000 w/ DD-WRT on it myself.

If you have an Android phone eccerr0r download WiFi Analyzer and it will show you which channels are being used and at which strength.
https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/wlan-...lic-wifi-free/ is a windows alternative.

Microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors can all produce interference on the 2.4Ghz band. As do video streamers. I've seen a crappy wireless video streamer flood all channels and kill wifi almost dead.

Are you using your ISPs provided wireless kit or your own ?

thats the beauty of rural, no pesky interference from neighbor's wireless. nice clean signal, quick, and stable....ohh, and fast.

Doesn't do you much good when you have a 1mbit interne tconnection streaming over LAN would be great though.

1mbit to the internet would be a godsent! On a good day, 384kbit is roaring! Yes, my HTPC's feed off the wireless very nicely though, the only real perk out here.

contact the nearest datacenter, get roof rights, and install a pair of these

Well one problem is that I'm using 802.11g and I don't know who's using 802.11n in my neighborhood. Anyone using 802.11n on the 2.4GHz range especially if using wide channels will interfere with my network no matter what channel I choose.

Tonight I'm getting 1.9MB/sec from my 802.11b/g/n router to a DD-WRT WRT54G as a wireless bridge, which a bit higher than what I have been getting. Perhaps the neighbors aren't busy tonight. I just wonder how much I can kill wifi trying to run mythtv through wifi...
