Is there a program that actually works under Windoze in showing the real throughput of a client adapter? Software with my radio certainly does not, nor does netstumbler. Little or no relation to what they show and the actual data speed of the connection.


I currently use a program called Bandwidth Monitor and before that I used a program called DUMeter. NetMeter is another one, IIRC, and of course there's always the built-in Windows utilities.

Any particular version of Windoze? Win 3.1, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7 ???

Any particular "radio" that you're using?

I'm not sure what you're doing, but the XP, Vista, and Win 7 the Task Mger and Performance Monitor that come with these versions of Windoze do a rather nice job. For XP:

Task Mgr: Right click on Task Bar -> Task Manager -> Networking

Perfmon: Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Performance Tweak the setting so that it shows various network performance values. Right click on graph -> Add Counters -> Network

If you happen to be interested in how fast your wireless can go, download JPerf, setup a wired machine to act as an IPerf server, and measure your wireless performance.
