Good day!

  1. Home Internet is used
  2. There is a WiFi router NetGear WNR3500L (802.11n)
  3. there is an adapter NetGear WNCE2001 (802.11n)

There is an option to install a router at the entrance to the apartment, so as not to pull the cable to the workplace, and connect an adapter to the system unit.

Question: how much such a connection will be slower than the option to pull the cable to the workplace and connect the router directly to the system unit?

  • one
    Many times slower. First, the cable is faster than WiFi (although of course it depends on your tariff). Secondly, the broadcast in major cities is now heavily hammered and WiFi does not work very much. in the third, the signal usually passes badly through the wall and door of the apartment. In order not to pull the cable, you can also use the PowerLine (Internet through a 220 socket) - Mike
  • I join the aforementioned, and add that you can connect a little to the processor :) - Vasily Barbashev
  • Formally, 802.11n can provide a channel up to 150 Mbps. In practice, all the same, everything will be determined not by the transmission rate but the throughput of the external channel. (Unless the output is optics with a super cool fare.) - Dmitriy Simushev
  • Too many external factors. The delay will certainly be higher, and the speed, yes, will be more limited by the provider than by the router. - D-side
  • Sorry, but if you have 1MB inlet, then the wifi will not drive anymore. it turns out, the wire, then everything is wire, and as a result, I agree with the wifi, even the telephones on the wifa :) - Anton
