OT: Wired faster than Wireless?

Hi, I have a DrayTek 2600 Wireless Router and when im downloading wirelessly
im only getting 50k/sec but when i try the same site on a wired pc i get
150k/sec. I am getting a good signal strength and can transfer at fast
speeds internally is there any qos etc setting i need to ajust on my router?

Thanks in advance

Tim.

check the MTU is the same on router and all PCs perhaps ?

what speed is the internet connection, 150 kbytes/s would imply
1.5Mbits/s. If the wireless speed has dropped to 1 Mbits/s it would
only give you 50 kbytes/s so look at connect speed as well as signal
strngth.

The wireless part only works in simplex mode, i.e. one way at the time, that
slows things down a bit.

To be pedantic, I think you mean half-duplex. Simplex means unidirectional.

Actually, there isn't really any such thing as "half" duplex - it's either
duplex or it isn't..!

When I have a conversation on amateur radio using PTT, it is universally
regarded throughout the AR world as a *simplex* conversation because it is
indeed in one direction only. When I finish talking and the channel is
clear again, the other user can use it unidirectionally in the other
direction (!) to talk to me. It's still simplex as only one direction is
in use at any one time.

A duplex conversation uses two independent radio channels, one in each
direction.

it is in one direction *at any one time* which is not the same as one
direction.

Google for define:simplex would suggest my FM radio is simplex, as is
the transmitter serving it (albeit in a different direction) because
both can only do one thing - either send or receive.

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/s/simplex.html would suggest that the AR
example is in fact half duplex, even if they choose to call it
simplex.
