Wireless Speeds.
Just wondering what sort of speed other people are getting on wireless?

I'm using 2.4Ghz 802.11N (2x WRT160Ns with DD-WRT, one as AP one as Client Bridge to connect upstairs Dtop/printer.etc to Lan)

and seem to be getting ~28 - 35Mbit/s by using 20mhz channel width and channel 13, I find if I use 40mhz channel width I actually get slower speeds, probably due to interference.


I've just setup a spare ex sky DG934 I had as an 802.11G AP so I could switch the WRT160N's into N only mode so hopefully speeds won't drop when people use the Xbox/Laptops.etc (We have a lot of devices that have inbuilt 11G)

I did wonder if it's worth switching to 5ghz for the N clients but that means I need to buy a new router and also then need a 5ghz bridge.


My network setup is a Mess currently
