Download speed

Linksys WRT54G WiFi router/access point.

Just upgraded my DSL bandwidth from 1.5Mbps to 3.0Mbps (down) and

512Kbps (up). I did a speed test on my notebook PC (Dell Inspiron - Centrino Solo 1.8GHz with Intel 2200BG card). It shows downstream speed of about 2.4Mbps and upstream of 412Kbps which are normal. However, when I download a file from Microsoft site (XP SP2 for example), the transfer rate can not go faster than 195Kbps/sec. When I use my desktop PC with Linksys WUSB54G USB WiFi card, I can get 320Kbps/sec download rate. Any idea why? Thanks. read more and respond »
