Re: [android-developers] Re: WifiInfo. getLinkSpeed : uplink or downlink?
I've seen my Milestone connect to the router at anything from 24 Mbit to 64 Mbit. However, getLinkSpeed always returns 54. So it's sort of a technical specifications page value, since Milestone officially only supports 802.11g and that's 54 Mbit / second. It also has very little relation to the real throughtput. In my testing, Milestone can do about 8-10 MBit per second, Galaxy S - about 12-15. -- Kostya 18.08.2010 4:03, j пишет: Thanks Bob.
