We've recently had broadband installed and have put in a wireless home network with a modem/router/WAP all-in-one box and receivers on the two desktops and laptop. It's all going very nicely except I wanted to know what kind of performance I should expect for file transfers between computers. I am sending some rather large files (just under 800MB) from the desktop upstairs to the desktop downstairs. How long should it take for the file to transfer? The quickest it's been is around 1 hour, but sometimes it says it's going to take 600 mins and ocassionally the connection cuts out. Is this something to be expected of wireless? Is it interference? Or have I got something wrong with my set up? The speed seems unaffected by whether I'm using the network to browse the web or download files at the same time as the transfer. Anybody got any ideas?
Cheers,
Lizardo.
