I was talking bout the antennas not speed,These are two different things!
Clearly your wireless card is 802.11G and not N,Wireless G has
a 54mbps transfer speed (which translates to 6.75 MB/s actual speed)
so that’s normal.
Answer #7
thx guys
but I have b/g/n in my laptop
so EDIMAX BR-6226n nLite Wireless Broadband Router 802.11b, 802.11g, 4-port 39.99GBP is not good for me
I’m thinking about
LINKSYS Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router 49.99GBP
or
EDIMAX 3G-6200n Wireless Router 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 4-port 40.87GBP
