Speed test results.

Potentially how much difference does it make using an ethernet cable over wireless?

Bugger all unless your net speed is over 54MB and then you can solve it by using Wireless-N

I can't wait untill my sexy 50mb.

In theory yes, which is what I thought until I actually tested it.

Wireless is way less reliable compared with ethernet. Wireless cuts out randomly and the speed can change when you move your body???

Stick with ethernet it's way less hassle.


It depends how far away for your router you are I think. I am about 10 Metres aways and it's really bad.

Maybe yours does, mine doesn't.

I had wireless, I was getting about 6/7mb. I got wired and now I'm getting 9mb+ so it does make a difference.

I was also getting max speeds of about 400kb/s on Rapidshare, I can hit 1.2mb/s now..

Which backs up my point. Stick with ethernet.

Im in wireless as I have to be. If you want come to my house and try and trail a Ethernet cable 2 floors up to the loft when the router is in the kitchen. I'm on Wireless G at the moment with only 2 bars of signal, hoping to upgrade to Wireless-N which my router can handle.

I never said you didn't need the PERFECT Wireless signal, i.e. an antenna out in the open right next to the wireless source

Hmm. I might as well try it, see if it helps.
