Wi if speed infinity 2 / 1?
I have had infinity 2 for 5 months now
I have a Ethernet (5+meters) connected straight from the hub into my smart tv. When usimg the speedtest.net site on the tv, I get speeds of up to 70mb DL / 20mb upl - perfect. When using an ipad / iPhone I never get over 30mb DL / 15mb upl I was just thinking as many or all other devises connect via wifi, what would be the wifi speeds on infinity 1? The infinity 2 wifi speeds are the same as infinity 1 bu of course, that's probably if connected direct to the hub via Ethernet. I'd guess that wifi is 10-15mb DL |

Well several things to factor here, could be wifi congestion with neighbours using the same channel as you so do a check and find the cleanest wifi channel (get a wifi analyzer app to see what's in use around your home) Distance from wifi modem/router also affects speed and how many devices using wifi at once.
The the actual wifi technology in use by the devices, in real would conditions: Using wireless 'G' seems to give about 20mbps, N seems to be about 40-50mbps and AC is 70-100mbps so AC is the best wifi currently you could use assuming your mobile devices support AC and your wireless modem/router as well. So if your gear is wireless N which is more likely then speed tests of 30mbps seem close to typical results acheivable. http://www.speedguide.net/faq/what-i...f-wireless-374 http://features.techworld.com/mobile...n-do-about-it/ |

Just to clarify. The WiFi speed has nothing at all to do with what broadband you have. You could easily have 100Mb WiFi with a 1Mb ADSL connection. Equally you could have a 1Mb WiFi connection with 100Mb broadband. There is no connection between the two. It all depends on what WiFi technology your router uses.
With typical ADSL connections 802.11g was often good enough to be faster than the ADSL connection. With Infinity and similar broadband products the broadband connection can be faster than the WiFi as pointed out above. To check out the WiFi environment around you use inSSIDer http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/inssider.html this will show if your WiFi is being affected by interference from neighbouring networks. It may also show a clearer channel to use that might help improve your WiFi performance. But if you are running on a clear channel with good signal 30Mb might be the best you can get unless you can change what WiFi standard you use. And it would likely still be 30Mb if you changed your broadband service. |

And that's the important bit to The Sack's reply - he's got an AC capable HomeHub5 and an AC capable phone and PC.
