Router Question

[Bill L]

I tested my speed on the cox website, I had to look up what my actual package was and I saw the test tool. This was on the desktop which is also plugged into the router. So looks like the answer to my initial question whether plugging into the older router slows down the speed, is that it is not an issue.

I googled the xbox lan speed, as far as I can tell, it is 100. I do have a wireless N adaptor for it, but I went back to the hard wire as my router is only a G and I was also having some interference issues. Are you saying that using the wireless N with a better router could give me better speed than the ethernet cable with the 100 speed?

I'll look into the cox gateway thing, my wife does a lot of photoagraphy and uploads to facebook groups a lot, from the laptop, so could have some benefits there

Thanks for your helping me understand this stuff!

XBOX on Wireless N will not be faster than connected by Ethernet (packet overhead, interference, and a myriad of other reasons).

Both good signal wireless (possibly exluding wireless "B") and ethernet will be faster than the likely maximum broadband pipe currently available in 99% of American homes

John i think you and i will agree to disagree about the wireless, i feel that you can obtain a equal if not faster signal if the conditions are right, however as i previously stated i didn't feel he had anything to gain via his xbox with a upgrade, now if his wife is sending pics and larger files that gateway is the way to go with N technology as well as multi channel bonding wouldn't you agree, especially if multiple devices are accessing in the inet at the same time?
