Wireless Vs. Wired Internet.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

I've been having some problems trying to connect to some COD4 servers today, and i was thinking it was my wireless connection (I've been wireless for about 2 years). So i did a speed test before i hooked up the cat4 cable and got these results.

around 5 mbps download and around .7mbps upload. not bad, wish the upload was faster, but eh.

Now i plug in my cable, and connect to the LAN, and fire up the speed test.

Holy fucking shit. Double the Download rate? thats rediculous. Anybody else notice difference like this with wireless and regular LAN?

I've playd with both a wired and wireless connection on my 360 and really couldn't tell a difference.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

me too, and thats my point. i'd never noticed a diference, but damn. 2x faster downstream is a lot of wasted juice.

[DLIT]

I have no idea what that means. You want faster upload for gaming, right?

Yes I can tell a big difference between my wired and wireless connections. I have an 802.11 G router with an 892.11 N modem. Not sure if thats the difference, but when my wireless router breaks, I'm going with the N router as a replacement. I think I may replace the router anyway. It's a Netgear, should have gone with the Linksys.

i donno. i was refering to download speed.

When online gaming you're sending and recieving... shit i donno, i just wanted to shoot some fuckers with my machine gun.

you will always have a faster connection wired. will you see a difference, probably not. it all comes down to what you are doing and who you are connected to.

who plays on xbox post up your screen name.

mine is m0n1.

hmm ive always ran my ps3 wireless... adn the wifi card on my lappy is fried so any measurements are highly suspect

Wired will always beat out wireless in speed. Wireless will also introduce packet loss in some games. While you don't notice it as much while surfing, it can make games unplayable for you and for the others in the server. This is definitely true of Unreal Tournament.

Wireless N will work faster than G, G+, or any others. It is currently the fastest out. Wired will always be faster though.

My wireless (G+ router) is running 7127 download and 542 upload.
