Question: TEW-633GR WLAN Speeds

[Shuino]

I just recently picked up a TEW-633GR v1.0 and so far it seems to be working well, besides the interference from my wireless headset

I am just wonder what kind of file transfer speeds I should be getting with this router.

I'm using a Gigabyte GN-WS30N wireless card in my laptop and the speeds I'm getting between a wired PC and the wireless laptop are about 10MBs.

I should be seeing a lot higher speeds correct?

I have followed everything here:

Any tips or advice would be great!

Am I reading that correct, ten megabytes per second? If so, that equates to 80mbps which is definately wireless N, 20-25mbps is cap for best case scenerio of wireless G. Are you using 20MHz or 40MHz channel width? If using 40MHz channel width then 10MB/s or 80mbps is most likely best speed you will get out of it.

I'm using the auto 20/40 and yeah 10MB's is what I'm getting in the windows file transfer window.

I was thinking I would've been more towards 100Mbps than the 80 but that's why I asked.

What does windows wireless link speed report? eg. 150mbps(20MHz dual stream), 300mbps(40MHz dual stream) The 80mbps fits the avg downlink 40MHz calculated in the wireless charts(top performer to boot).

 

[Shuino]

It will go between 270 and 300 Mbps.

Only a top performer if I have my Plantronic's .995 Wireless Headset turned off as it completely wrecks my wlan XD

Which took me like an hour to figure out as I messed with almost every option in my router... :-(
It's like when you lose your hat or glasses and you find them on your head... I was sitting there complaining about my wireless speed while in Ventrilo talking on my headset.

yeah 2.4GHz band is pretty crowded...40MHz channel width does use up 2/3 the freq. band, try speeds with 20MHz and test for interference.

Just tried changing it to 20Mhz but it's almost not worth it. The speed is still only a bit faster and I get less signal strength.

I heard the Logitech clear chat wireless headset works without wireless interference so I gonna give that a try. My friend has one so I'm going to have him bring it over so I can test it out first though.
