    Cannot get more than 5mbits with the WLAN connection on my N900

    Hi all,

    I have a 30mbits connection at home (verified) and connecting from my laptop via WLAN I can easily get ~22mbits (WPA2, WirelessG)

    Connecting with my N900, be it to this AP or to any other (e.g. Public ones that I know are very fast) I cannot get past 5mbits download.

    What's the matter? Conky tells me I am connected at 54mb/s and quality is good, so...

    Anyone seen similar behaviour?

    Cheers,
    J

    Actually, 5 mbit/s is more than enough for seamless browsing. (The browser's rendering speed is the bottleneck.)

    I will expect for more answers but thank you for your opinion. I don't agree with you at all and you miss the point

    Just on the immediate, if I want to stream media from my home network that speed is beyond low and unsufficient. Also, what is the point of claiming Wireless-G support if the speeds are more like Wireless B?

    From my experience N900 is not powerful enough for high speeds, if I reach 2Mb/s on torrents the device gets non-responsive until speeds get down. And real life G speed is MAX 3Mb/s,it usually is about 1.6-2Mb/s for me. When accessing windows network it is even slower. So 12-24MBPS is the limit of G in real life, 54 is "in theory". ( I had many routers, laptops so I am talking from experience, no other knowledge ). In short. It is all OK, nothing is wrong or ever will get better. Hope I helped.

    double check that your wireless receiver power is set at 100

    Settings -> Internet Connections -> Connections -> (Select wlan) Edit -> Next -> Next -> Next -> Advanced -> Other.

    Try reducing the number of connections, I think the number of connections Transmission attempts to make causes the N900 to get non-responsive.

    turning off wlan powersaving does improve the performance in some cases but at cost of battery life

    As a test, try to download into /dev/null and see if it is any faster. Writing to the flash memory is really slow. I have 25mbit and experience the same kind of speeds as you, but I haven't tested it this way yet.
