Making sure speed is at max

[djmoore85]

Hey everyone, wanting to know if I have my connection speed fully taken advantage of. I have a cable connection, going through a Linksys wireless g/n router, and then my laptop is connected to wireless with 54 MB/s potential. I want to see if there is any way to change/check/optimize connection speed for downloads. Thanks to anyone who has suggestions or solution

Re: Making sure speed is at max

I've heard of people tweaking mtu and things like that, but as long as your not running in mixed mode on the router, ie, N and G and have n and g devices then the default settings should have you there at the top.

so if the laptop runs n set the router to run only n. also you check your speed with

iwlist [interface] scan

and it should give you the speeds and connection strength for the device
