Wireless Lan – does about half what it says on the tin
Source: The Inquirer
Tests carried out by the Nikkei Network suggest the effective speeds obtainable using wireless Lans is less than half what it says on the box.
The Network measured the average speeds of FTPing data over a distance of two meters for a minute. It compared the results managed over connections compared to a wired Ethernet connection and found the wireless products sorely short of their stated speed ratings.
Wireless LAN connections managed only about 40 per cent of what was claimed on the packaging, the news sire reports.
