Hey guys,
It's been quite a while, Happy Holidays!
I just had AT&T install Uverse and among the issues I have with it, they
disconnected my DSL and installed a wireless network in my house. So now my
ping is way high in online games and now sometimes I get bounced off the
servers. Grrr...
They installed a 2Wire 3800 HGV-B modem and I have a US-G-AT-02 wireless
receiver on my box. The modem is upstairs and my box is downstairs but the
distance between the two is about 15 feet.
The wireless connection icon on my toolbar says I'm getting 54Mbps, but when
I go to 2Wire's page and run a speed test they say I'm getting around
3.40Mbps.
Question 1 is, which is correct? Question 2 is, how can I get better
throughput? The tech guy suggested running a ethernet cable from the modem
to my box but that's a bit of a hassle. Is there a way to improve the
wireless efficiency?
thanks!
Veech
