To be more specific, my Belkin 802.11g router, which has wireless, also has 4 hard wired ports. I've always used a hard wired connection between my computer and the router. I had another computer in the house on wireless, onto which I have now hard wired the router connection.
When I first put forward my query, my Local Area Connection to my original computer was2.8Mb/sec, and the new connection read 3.2Mb (hard wired). Thereafter, and right now, they both have been displaying 100Mbbs constantly. So it could have ben a transient slow down?
As I mentioned before, I have a nominal internet connection from my ISP of 2.0Mbbs, which I obtain most of the time. My original query was, in simple terms, how do the two speeds inter-relate? If we can only receive 2-20Mb/sec from ISPs, why such a high LAN speed?
Thanks for the replies so far.
