HI
i have been having some problems with my wireless network file transfer speed. i eventually realised that this was was greatly owing to poor signal. i moved the laptop to 'excellent' signal range. the speed increased about 8 fold. now the wireless network on my pc (have a G router) is capable of a maximum 54Mbps, with receiving and sending it boils down tp 27Mbps one way. consider the overheads etc. thus a im left with say for argument's sake 22Mbps transper one way. this translates to 2.6MBps transfer. The best i get with my laptop next to my router is about 1.5MBps. according to my reading my speed of 1.5MBps is reasonable, even good. but my concern/question is what happened to each MB per second? basically i would appreciate it if someone could exlain why this happens.
second ques: i read that NETbeui has high overheads. should i uninstall this protocol? when does one need it for home networking purposes. Thanks to all the great minds that take time to entertain my questions.
