Wireless N vs Fast Ethernet (100MBit)
It's an old P4 system with 1.5Gb of ram and a Geforce 6200. I'm using it with a raidcard to hold my harddrives and it's even fast enough to encode on the fly for the PS3 media server (huge surprise there). Only problem is that it has 100MBit Ethernet instead of gigabit which make file transfers a big pain. (5 minutes for a 2Gb file...) Well anyways, I currently have a wireless N card I can pop in (D-link dwa-552), but I'm not sure if it'll be reliable enough to transfer huge files at a time. Any input? On another note, the Asus RT-N66U is frekkin awesome. Huge range and absolutely no problems since I bough it a month ago! |

from my experience 100MBit is more than I've seen from a wireless transfer rate. If you have the card can't hurt to try it but I don't think it'll be an improvement. Signal strength is what you would need to worry about and as long as it stays over 50% it should be okay.

Yeah, just tested a large file transfer to my Macbook (which I'm pretty sure has a better wireless N chip then the years old one) and it was at around 5Mb/s compared to the 10Mb/s I was getting before.
Guess I'm heading to the store to get a Gigabit adaptor.. hehe |

If you get good N equipment there's no reason for it not to be fairly fast.
I have wireless N and it will connect at around 249Mbps and transfer rates hit around the 30MB/s mark. That being said buying a Gigabit card would be by far the best option. |

It depends on a lot of factors, but on average you're probably not going to get much more than 12-15MB/s out of wireless N, especially if there is even one wall between you and the router. So basically, same place you are with 100MBit Ethernet. Gigabit is the way to go if you want faster speeds.
