Yes I have a Linksys Wireless N routerMy results was 99 pink and 4 mbps isnt that low?
Speeds are given for up and down, I have no idea what pink is. Just to give you an idea, via wireless my speed right now is 8.63 up, 15.15 down.
Perhaps you mean PING, not pink? In that case yeah, 99 is pretty high, mines 24.
Wireless does have overhead, my hardwired desktop gets around 12 up, 30 down.
Yes I meant ping, my mistake. My ethernet is 9 mbps and wireless is 4.5, why?
What is the advertised speed for your package? Are you saying when your hardwired to the router, with the laptop wireless turned off, your only getting 9Mbps down? What OS by the way?
Cable companies can throttle bandwidth from the router if the router supports it, or manage it centrally. As long as you are getting the speeds you're paying for, I wouldn't be concerned. Also, what type of wireless do you have - the 802. standard has different speeds - B, G, N are typical these days and effect your wi-fi speed.
