How much can a signal booster help?

I'm only getting 200KBps transfer rate peak, I want to get at least 1.5MBps.

I'm thinking this kind of boost will be impossible and I'd be better off running solid line thru the house

 

the wireless signal booster isn't going to help your internet speeds much. it just helps the distance the signal goes. if you've already got a decent signal (and it's not low) then it's going to do nothing. 200 sounds about right from a regular server. to get higher rates, you'd have to be connected to an ftp server. go to www.dslreports.com and do the speed test. that'll tell you the max you can get with your line.

 

No, the max tranfer rate I get between 2 pc's on my network is 200KBps, my internet dsl max's out at a measily 88KBps I want to boost the signal so I at least get 1.5MBps, 802.11b is capable of 11MBps so I'd like to get about 1/10th of ith:

 

:yes:

 

oh, i thought you meant over the internet. what kind of signal are you getting? good or lower than that?

 

dunno there's no bar indicatorh:

I know 211KBps was the highest tranfer rate I got transfering mp3s between pc's. I got this reading w/ DU meter

 

which version of windows do you have?
