Increase Mbps?
« on: November 18, 2009, 11:01:23 PM »
Hey guys, I just got a new Acer Aspire 5732Z with the following wireless specs:
Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/Draft-N

Right now my DIR-655 is set at mixed g and n with 20/40mhz and I'm only getting 54Mbps on my laptop which says the radio signal from my router is at N. Is there a way to increase the Mbps, or is this it?

Try opening up your internet with TCPOptimizer (requires reboot, run as admin Vista) from www.speedguide.net. Windows comes defaulted to sucking bandwidth through a straw, this will make it a sewer pipe.

Make sure your laptop's wireless N adapter is set to Auto (Device manager/Network Adapter/<hardware> on Advanced Tab I think).

If you want to max out your wireless N then you must follow the STICKY.

yes, I agree the STICKY is the the MINIMUM.

I needed to check my adapter driver, also.

Ok, I tried TCPOtimizer and switched to AES, and I am now getting 300mbps.
Thanks guys  ;D

If you are running Vista or Windows 7 then there is no benefit from running TCPOtimizer as those OS's are already optimized for broadband. That being said it was changing cypher that fixed your problem and nothing else.

I agree. TCPOptimzer was not the fix for the 300mps connection, but, for Vista (I don't know about W7), TCPOptimizer still helps out with the pipe to the internet.
