Hi Folks,
I posted an earlier version of this comment on maemo-users a few days
ago and got one confirmation from another person experiencing similar
behavior, but no useful advice (they simply stopped using the network
for transfers)... so I thought I'd try again here.
I'm finding that large (>200MB) transfers of data via the wifi network
are extremely unreliable. They start out running at a reasonable speed
(350KB/sec-600KB/sec), but within a few moments slow to less than
100KB/sec. The rates become very erratic, and the device GUI becomes
very unresponsive.
I've reproduced the problem in a variety of scenarios:
- unison over SSH with a variety of connection settings
- wget from a local webserver
- using the bundled webbrowser from a local webserver
- All of the above while connected to my wrt54gc access point at home
on which I'm the only user, have strong signal levels, and no
history of interference problems.
- All of the above on whatever enterprise level access points are
used in the Cornell University wireless infrastructure. Again,
strong signals, familiar locations, no history of interference.
- All of the above in situations in which other wireless clients are
able run the same download at high-speed without mishap.
Does anyone have advice about how I could further troubleshoot or
isolate this issue? Is anyone pushing substantial amounts of data over
the network without these problems?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Mike
