I was looking into my wireless adapters properties, and I came across something this is how and what I found

Start -> Control Panel -> Security Center -> Windows Firewall (bottom) -> Advanced tab -> (click Wireless Connection in the box that shows connections) -> then click Settings under Security Logging and you`ll see under Log file options you can decrease/increase the amount of KB of your internet connection?

- I beleive that`s what it is because my internet is 15MB from Cable.
- I tested it via direct connection to modem and it got 13MB+
- When I went onto wireless it would not go above 4.
- Question is, if I higher than number, will that mean my wireless adapters speed increase?

If you want me to be more clearer please say so.

15MB or 15Mb?

Assuming it's 15Mb, try changing the number to 1920KB or 15360Kb to see if it changes anything.

Even if you're using a wireless b connection, the limitation is around 11Kbps, so it would seem that it's not the protocol but hardware or software imposing the limitation.

There are four types of wireless adapters:

- 802.11a = Supports bandwidth up to 54 Mbps
- 802.11b = Supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps
- 802.11g = Supports bandwidth up to 54 Mbps
- 802.11n = Supports bandwidth over 100 Mbps

For let's say for example, you have "802.11b", and your connection speed from your ISP is 20Mbps, therefore you won't be able to get 20Mbps because your wireless adapter is limited to only 11Mbps. So if you have the B type, you might wanna consider to buy other types, and I recommend the G type since it's the most common for home users.

Your wireless speed is effected by 2 things, first one is your connection speed itself from the ISP, and the second one is the distance between you and the wireless which is broadcasting the signal.

Also there is a hidden bandwith which kept reserved for your windows that is taken from your connection, but you don't need to mess with that.

So the bottom line, speed in wireless adapters is the same, and can't be raised if you modified some values. But if you wish a higher speed, you can buy a better adapter that supports and corvers more signal range than the current one you have. Also if you have the router wireless in your home/work or whatever, there are some of types that support antennas to be attached to them, this also could raise the speed. If it doesn't support antennas, you can put a piece of tin around the wireless router and your speed will raise!

Hope that is useful.

can i put magnet around the router instead of metals?

[Federal]

The goal in putting the tin around the router, is to gather the signal in one place, so as to keep it as close as possible to the router which gives more speed. But using a magnet, it might suck or distract the signal, and that won't be good.

[Federal]

Yes, that's true Dr. Pepper, but we're talking about the side of the wireless adapter itself and not the router. Also maybe he doesn't have a router, he's only getting the signal using his wireless adapter. That's the point.

[TrueSoulja]

Yeah, I do have a 802.11B and it only goes up to 4Mb
and I meant MB as in Megabytes per second. & Yeah I`ll try to change the settings to 11,000 kb since the guy stated above that`s the maximum.

[Federal]

Then get 802.11g

[Austin Powers]

i'm using belkin 802.11g last time and it always disconnect every 5~10mins. don't know why(lifetime warranty)

i went to the shop and replace a new one the man said 10megs for 802.11g is it really 10megs or 54megs?

[Federal]

802.11g supports up to 54Mbps, but doesn't give 54Mbps. The Mbps speed depends on your connection itself.

For example:
If your connection speed was 20Mbps, your adapater still can support it and give you that speed.
If your connection speed was 40Mbps, your adapater still can support it and give you that speed.
If your connection speed was 54Mbps, your adapater still can support it and give you that speed.

If your connection speed was 60Mbps, your adapater can support it but can't give that speed since the max is 54Mbps for the G Type.

[Austin Powers]

so 60Mbps must need 802.11n?

[Federal]

Yes.
