Vista Wireless Performance Questionnaire
With the amount of Vista issues on the forum, we are putting out a questionnaire here to get more information on the setups to get get a grasp of what is happening. Based on user feedback over the la...
Well I'm getting 0.5mb/s read and 1.5mb/s write over wireless (according to the iometer test). Not impresssed This is still much higher than before I changed the MTU on the laptop to 1430. Also tried making the Duo 1492 and that slowed both read and write further. Making the drive exempt from scanning by eset doesn't help. Not had time to run IOmeter on the XP machine yet. May try tonight.
Newbie question. Are the MTU settings arbitrary? Ie I see that 1430, 1460, 1492 and 1500 are all used, but is there any reason to stick to those values? (I know that 1500 and 1492 are internet standards, but will my normal wireless performance be noticably impaired by dropping from 1500 to 1430?).
Equally not run IOmeter when cabled to the router, although a file transfer showed that the rate dropped from 1mb to 20kb/s. Actually just thinking about that, it's odd that copying files reported a write rate of 1mb/s but IOmeter says 0.5.... I wonder if that's because IOmeter is using a 'v:' mapping as opposed to the file copy that we done using '192.186.0.8/media/'?
