Speed with 22MBPS wireless

[olympusxp]

I have a wireless network going with the D-Link 22mbps AirPlus equipment

I setup an FTP server on one of the hardwired machines and connected to it with the laptop that has the 22mbps card. The network signal is excellent (95%) because they are only about 10 feet apart from eachother. The wireless is also running at full speed (22Mbps).

At 22Mbps, divide that by 8 and you're roughly able to download at 2750 KB/sec.

I know that in real conditions the actual speed with be significantly less, but two networked computers and the wireless end sitting right next to the router I'd think we would be able to at least get 2000KB/sec.

Sadly, the FTP program reports an average of 710KB/sec with a 750MB movie file.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't want to go faster, except maybe I need to adjust some settings with the TCP/IP windows like recommended at dslreports.com. Would those help though on a network or that just for web?

You will never get 22Mb/s

even with 100% signal.

what you get , is what you get.
