    Yep, i have no idea what your first post is about

    Wireless?? Do you mean Mobile Data speeds or do you mean the Wireless in your House?

    dare say the OP has been to speedtest.net Wfi V's Ethernet connection.

    The result a "PING" provides is a random value, little meaningful. Run "PING" time-shifted, and you'll see what I mean.

    Simply call the principle of "PING" in the memory, which is resembling a table tennis game. The left paddle is your computer, right is a server the website X. Our ping pong ball stands for a data package, which is to be sent forth and back. The ping time ( Round-Trip-Time - RTT ) is the amount of time the ball requires for one back and forth. Of course, this is an extremely simplified model. The ping pong ball takes quite a few detours in reality. The detour is mostly never the same, it's more or less random. Sometimes a data pack can be sent over servers in the United States, sometimes it can be sent over servers in France, etc. Has something to do with the bandwidth balance. Therefore, the noticeable differences in measurements results.



    If you run a small batch file like this

    Code:
    @echo off
    set ip_server=209.188.84.6  & rem This is austech.info
    
    if not "%1"=="" goto %1
    
    start /b %~nx0 2
    start /b %~nx0 3
    
    :1
    echo Pinging AUSTECH loop 1
    ping %ip_server% -n 3
    timeout 10 > nul
    goto 1
    
    :2
    echo Pinging AUSTECH loop 2
    ping %ip_server% -n 2
    timeout 10 > nul
    goto 2
    
    :3
    echo Pinging AUSTECH loop 3
    ping %ip_server% -n 2 
    timeout 10 > nul
    goto 3
    you can watch the differences in values returned by "PING" when doing a time-shifted ping on AUSTECH from your computer.

    Sweet, my computer speed is 2.4Mhz, same wireless or cable

    I guess it would help, if your first post mentioned what WiFi protocol you use, distance from AP, and the equipment used (Client Machine).

    Now I'm really surprised: you measure your machine's "computer speed" by means of "PING" command, which normally is used to measure "network speed". A Nobel Prize worthy measurement method!


    If you want to know your "network speed", and you are on a "Windows 8.x machine, then install Microsoft's Network Speed Test (Windows-8-App) - it's free of charge.

    I guess you are referring to the computer’s processing speed. For me computer speed is dependent on 4 factors: Processor Speed, Disk Speed, Internet Speed and Graphics Processing.

    BTW: Your computer seems to be a lame duck - 2.4 MHz. Today a computer's processor speed is 2.4 GHz and up to 3.7 GHz

    To measure network speed (regardless whether cabled or wireless) within your LAN (i.e. from machine's NIC to AP) you simply ping your cable modem / wireless modem NIC IP. This is after the localhost the second network that connects to your computer, and is a subnet of your cable / wireless provider. For example on my wireless connection "PING" reports <1ms. So faster than the speed of light. The connection "NIC to AP" in no case is a bottle neck. If I ping AUSTECH ( 209.188.84.6 ) then "PING" reports ~178ms.
