I have a 802.11g network set up in my home
Mainly to share recorded tv, videos and music across three Media Center
Edition PCs

My AP is a Dlink DI-624 is in the basement
One MCE is also in the basement and connected to tha AP via 10base T
The second MCE is on the first floor (wireless)
The thrid is on the second floor (wireless)
I have also added two DWL-G800AP's in repeater mode, one on the first and
one on the second floor.

My througut as mesaured by QCheck is still horrible (<1 - 3 MBPS) despite
54Mbps connections at the client (per the client utilities).

Any thoughts?

Is that in megabytes or megabits?

3 megabytes per second is pretty respectable for wireless G.

Nothing horrible about 3 MB/s on a 54 Mb/s infrastructure.

If it's in megabytes, 3MB = 24mbits/second is a pretty good speed. Most
wireless networks you'll hit ~65% of the speed at best.

Even with a wired network, you'll never get the full speed due to overhead
and other factors.

I was surprised that I am getting 90%+ at 5.5MBps on 802.11B cards,
with a WRT54G router.

I have to upgrade the 10base2 link between the router and my server to see
if the same happens at 11MBps.
