300K bytes per second on MN-500

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

For wireless sounds right. 300K bytes/s = 3M bits/s = 3Mbps
-- after overhead this gets close to 11Mbps (you may be
able to get a little faster, maybe 400K or 500K bytes/s,
but depends on interference and noise on the wireless signal)

For transfers between 2 wired connections, check that your
ethernet cards are set to 100Mbps and not 10Mbps. Remember
that the Modem port is limited at 10Mbps, and your ISP is
probably even lower.

I haven't timed the 802.11g, but you can expect also a
"significant" overhead -- this said, standard Internet will
remain probably a lot much slower for most people.

You can look for 802.11g with turbo mode (combining two
channels together) -- but they are not strictly standard
(i.e. most often they are not interoperable with other
vendors).

Were you tired or not thinking when you posted this, because none of you
math makes sense. You are right on the overhead though.

I think some of your math is off. 3 Mbps is actually 3,072 Kbps while
you are saying that 300 KBps which is actually equal to 2400 Kbps or
2.34,375 Mbps is equal to 3 Mbps.
