Confusion with WiFi speeds- can someone clarify please? ...
#3
Just to tack onto Trinidad...

When you tested in LL you checked the Speed of the WiFi NIC and/or if you would be connected the internal NIC, only the speed of the card(s) in the computer.. You're provider is referring to your bandwidth think of it as "speed to the router"..
You can check your ISP up/down speed here:  http://openspeedtest.com/

The "speed at the router" is what allows multiple devices to access at the same time, a lower bandwidth would lag at high utilization. Streaming a movie to couple devices, play a game and download your favorite Linux distro simultaneously and the movie may buffer or the game may lag in play or possibly take longer to download (different effects depending which takes precedence).

Hope it helps clarify Smile
