WiFi Effect on Download Speed
These are my results when testing some equipment:
ISP Bandwidth package = 30Mbps
Wired to Modem = 30Mbps D/L Speed
Wired to Router = 29.9Mbps D/L Speed
Wireless via 802.11g to 802.11g client = 15Mbps D/L Speed
Wireless via 802.11n to 802.11n client = 26Mbps D/L Speed
Is this sort of loss normal when using WiFi? Is there a scientific explanation of what to expect in terms of % of D/L speed lost for each type of 802.11 connection? In other words if you have a transfer speed of 54Mbps, do you normally lose 50% of your Download Speed compared to wired?
Thanks!
