Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Hi
had a superhub self-installed last week and I am on the 100M service; are these standard speeds?...
Desktop (wired connection) - 93M
Laptop (wireless connection) - 50M
iPhone 4 (wireless connection) - 25M
regards

not really but it also depends upon your setup/configuration.

firstly self install for 100meg? could you post your downstream and upstream connection stats please. put this into your web browser and hit enter

you'll have a message appear just click ok. then open this..

scroll down and copy and paste in here both downstream and upstream

------------

with regards to your setup. firstly the SH does suck so if your willing to invest in a decent router i'd do it. in the mean time whats your desktop specs, laptop specs?

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Well you will not get better speeds than that for your iPhone 4, as for your laptop I would have to know more details about it specifically its wireless connection type.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

I think my desktop and iPhone are ok, my network card in my laptop is a 'n' and says it has a limit of 72M - hope that helps

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

My Galaxy S3 gets 55Mb over the wireless (though should really be able to do a lot more), 50Mb on a laptop is pretty poor. Then again if you're getting that on a 72 card then it's pretty impressive, the maximum you should be able to get is about 47.5

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

I am sure the card should do more than 72 but cant see any way to reset it or adjust it

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

download inSSIDer > http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ onto your laptop and scan for wifi networks. note which channel each uses then set the SuperHub to use a channel that isn't in use. also toy with wireless mode, upto 144 - upto 300 < disable OBSS when applying 300.

download TCP optimizer > http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php/ and move the marker up top all the way too 100+ then above apply changes click on Optimal then apply, restart > test via IE. make sure you configure both ethernet and wireless for the laptop.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

will do - thanks:)

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

*In your opinion and not in anyway official or legally binding:rolleyes:

Speeds over wireless will always vary and depend on your network card.

I consistantly hit 100Mb over direct ethernet connection but on my laptop never get over 70Mb and iPad is lower again.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

the SH does suck. theres far better routers out in the world. fact. and i didn't say the SH cannot cope with 100meg over wifi as beta testers proved it can be done.

* out my whole post and acknowledge I said it depends on setup/configuration

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

So...
Desktop (wired connection) - 93M
Laptop (wireless connection) - 50M
iPhone 4 (wireless connection) - 25M
... desktop is ok, laptop is due to networks cards 72M limit and iPhone is due to its limit as well?

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

whats your desktop specs and whats your laptop specs ?

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

No, iPhone would have 72M limit and should do 40-50 in practice

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

My desktop always reaches over the 100mb limit through Ethernet.

Laptop does vary without testing it again I'm sure one test I did on it got around 99mb but on average its around 70mb

phones I think are around 20/25mb not sure if I have ever been over that

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

There's been a lot of discussion and even disagreement. But it works like this:

Desktop (wired connection) - 93M
[SEPH]: Normal as you'd imagine.

Laptop (wireless connection) - 50M
[SEPH]: Assuming you're on 2.4 GHz (as per iPhone), 50 meg wireless is very good and better than normal. The card might well do 72 meg but that's tops without considering the two way element. AFAIK, wireless is half duplex and that would bring average rate down.


iPhone 4 (wireless connection) - 25M
[SEPH]: That's above average based on my experience

So, all in all, a win.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

I dont think the iPhone 4 is capable of much more than 20ish. Heck the new iPad maxes out at 35meg on the same single band Asus RT-N16

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

When I use the speedtest.net app on my iPhone4s, it gives me a d/l speed of 31M. The same test on my hard wired PC gives 61M.

I am using SH in MODEM only mode. WiFi + Ethernet are dealt with by my Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station & AirPort Express.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Although I'm on 50 meg currently, with Airport Extreme and Airport Express I get a DL speed on the iphone 4 of between 18 & 25 meg - usually at the lower end. The iPad on 5 GHz does 35 meg.

Similarly on my ASUS N56RT hooked up to BT Infinity.

Wireless Upload on VM is always 5 meg and 10 meg on Infinity.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Are iPhones really that crap?

Wow. Android phones from 2009 managed that... Using flash too.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Glad your's is bigger than mine, Qasi!

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

I'm just surprised. I'd expect more from a phone that has the same wireless chip as another 3 year old device that does ~40.

Course you could blame the Superhub but if a laptop with the same speed rating does double that then that points the finger at the iPhone...

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

I was gob-smacked when I got my 4s and it didn't have 5GHz WiFi. I really hope the new model has it.

According to the AirPort utility (for Apple Extreme/Express), my connection speed is a rock solid 65M. Throughput is much lower (as you would expect) at 35'ish Meg.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Hi Wallace

I've looked at my Airport Utility and must have missed the function that tells me what the AE thinks my connection speed to be.

Would you mind telling me in which menu I can find that function? I mmust be doing something wrong.

Thanks

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Sorry for the delayed reply. I was shopping in Tesco's when I got the email!

You can use either the Airport Utility on the PC or the app on the iPhone.

PC:
Start the Airport Utility as normal. In the left hand side (LHS) box, double click on the device you want to 'look at'. In may case I have two. An Extreme and an Express. On the summary screen about half way down you should see a line that says Wireless Clients followed by a number. If the number is 0 (zero) the obviously you are not connected via WiFi to that particular device. However, if you left click on the words 'Wireless Clients', it will show you who is connected, speed, noise levels etc.

iPhone App:
Fire up the app. The front page will give you a pictorial overview of your devices. Again for me it shows both my Extreme and Express.
Tap on one. If you are connected to that device, you will see a line 'Wireless Clients and a number. Tap on the wording again and it will list the MAC address of the connected device/devices. Tap again on the MAC address and it gives connection details and quality etc.

HTH.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

In practice all iOS devices wifi speeds suck along with very unstable latency. I would say on average 10 from an iPod touch, 20 from an iPhone and 30 from an iPad.

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Oh well, in that case I wouldn't put much weight on the iPhone results then and just go by the laptop one

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Does the HTC one x support the 5ghz range? my wife has one but not sure if its connecting automatically to the 5ghz band I have an asus RTn56u but dont see her phone go any quicker than mine say 20/25meg

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

Yes it does and there is no way on the device itself to prefer one band over the other. Yet.

There is an option on the US-based version so perhaps a future firmware update will allow this.

Also 5Ghz does not inherently give any more speed than 2.4Ghz

Re: Superhub speeds on 100M
 

105/9.8 on the Desktop (Ethernet)

40-60 on the laptop, varies (Wireless)

6-12ish on the following - HTC Desire HD, HTC Aria and the HTC sensation XL

Not really sure if I should be getting more out of those phones?
