Hi, Wifi is not something I consider myself an expert upon. I understand the security problems with WEP, WPS, WPA and WPA2 fairly well, and I've read some docs on fragmentation, RTS thresholds, and channel width. I don't consider myself a newbie here either.
Try as I might, I just can't seem to get decent performance out of my home network. It's a 802.11n network, theoretically 300 mbit/s, however testing with iperf between a Linux wireless laptop and a wired linux server results in 60-70 mbits reported in either direction.
What is the wireless chipset in the Linux laptop? Is the router connected via gigabit all the way to the server? If it's only 100MBits/second then that's all you get (wouldn't be the first wireless router I've seen advertising 300MBits/second but only having 100MBits/second Ethernet!) What about if you wire the laptop to the router as a test? Can you get gigabit speeds then? James
