Which option makes the internet experience faster?

I am looking to speed up my wireless internet browsing experience and I don't really know much about networks. I currently have an old 802.11b/g three base station airport network at home on a wds setting and I pay for a network speed of 1.5 Mbps with my ISP. It works smoothly, but I would like to speed it up if I can. I have heard that going to the 802.11n standard can speed it up but I have also heard that increasing the Mbps with the ISP will speed it up too. I am on a budget so I can either upgrade my airports by getting the 802.11n airport extreme or I can increase the speed by going to 6.0 Mbps with my ISP, but not both at this time. I have no clue what to do about this because I don't really understand it. What I hope to avoid is upgrading one only to find out that it was pointless because not upgrading the other cripples the one I upgraded. So, should I upgrade either the airports or the ISP speed now (if so, which one?), save money to upgrade both later, or none at all. Please help point me in the right direction. Thanks much. :O)

Reading your post again, I will assume that you have 3 devices set up in a WDS configuration. With b/g devices, the maximum bandwidth capability on your network with the 3 devices would be around 13 Mbps. Actual throughput is typically much less, so call it 7 Mbps.
With that, your "internet experience" will improve with a faster connection from your ISP. With a 6 Mbps connection, your wireless will be able to handle the signal. With your existing equipment, the internet experience on your network is going to be limited by your internet connection, not the equipment.
It's true that newer 802.11n devices can operate at substantially faster wireless speeds. This would benefit you if you were transferring files, backing up, etc from device to device over your local network. But, your internet experience would continue to be limited by your connection speed.

  • How Can I make the following query faster

    Hi Guru
    I want your valuable suggestion to make the following query faster.I did not write all required columns list. I gave here all those columns where I have conditon like decode,case when,or subquery

    How can I make the above query faster.
    Query condition or indexing whatever is preferable please guide me.
    The approximate data of tables
    DC_MODALITYAPPOINTMENT 2,000,000
    A lot of updating is going on some columns of this table.all columns are not in the select list, Insertion is happend in batch process by back-end trigger of another table.
    Primary key based one column,
    OP_REGISTRATION 500,000
    Daily insertion on this table around 500 records,updation is not much.
    Primary key based one column 'reg_no'
    DC_TESTMST
    Total records of this table not more than 1500.This is setup table. Insertion and updation is not much on this table also
    I have to create a view based on this query .
    and I have to create another view to serve another purpose.
    In the 2nd view I need this query as well as I need another query by using union all operator based on a table(dc_oldresult)
    which have 1,600,000 records.There is no DML on this table
    SELECT      NVL((SELECT USER_DEFINE_TEST_NO FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ),SV_ID) USER_D_EXAM_NO,
    (SELECT TEST_TYPE FROM DC_TESTMST WHERE TEST_NO = SV_ID AND ROWNUM = 1 ) EXAM_TYPE,

         (SELECT PAT_SEX FROM OP_REGISTRATION WHERE REG_NO = HN) PATIENT_GENDER
    FROM DC_OLDRESULT
    WHERE HN IS NOT NULL AND SV_ID IS NOT NULL AND UPPER(ACTIVE) = 'TRUE'
    Should I make join DC_OLDRESULT, OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST? or The eixisting subquery is better?
    I use OP_REGISTRATION and DC_TESTMST in both query
    Thanks in advance

  • How can i make the internet windows cover the whole screen?

    My new macbook brings up a small internet window, and it's not the easiest to see, although the type and quality is good. I have tried changing the display under system preferences, but that makes the quality less. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am new to apple products so any hints would be gratefully received!

    This applies to the windows for all Mac applications, including your browser. If you look in the top left corner of the window you will see three dots -- red, yellow and green. The red dot closes the window, yellow minimizes, and the green dot will cause the window to enlarge (though not always to full screen). If the window doesn't go to full screen, you can enlarge it further by dragging the bottom right corner of the window (you'll see something that looks like a page corner that has been folded back).

  • How can I tether my iphone to make the internet work after upgrading from ios6?

    I have a iPhone4, I had upgrade to the ios 6. Now I can't tether my phone to use the hotspot, I can use the airport on my MBP to use the internet but it is much slower. My ISP is AT&T. I had contacted them and they told me that they are working on it, I called Apple, and they told me that they are working on it. Anyone else having issue using the hotspot?

    If your phone carrier supports it then you use the personal hotspot feature of the iPhone to connect to the internet on the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517

  • How do I load graphics at boot, to make the initial paint faster?

    I'm running a big application, with many screens (JPanels) on a slow system. The average time for the system to change screens is about 200ms. The first time you visit a screen, the average time to load is 400ms. Every time after that, its about 200ms. All of the screen are on top of each other, with setVisible(false) applied to all but the visible one. The only call made when changing screens is setVisible(false) and setVisible(true) (one to turn the previous screen off, the other to turn the new one on. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of that initial 400ms, and bring it down to 200ms. Is there anyway I can cache the graphics before the page is first visited?

    No, i dont think that is it. I think I have narrowed it down to something very simplistic. Say you extend JPanel, and at the end of your initialization for this panel, you say
    System.out.println(this.getGraphics());
    It will print out "null".
    It will continue to say null, from any point that you call this, until it is visibly painted to the screen. After that it will return something like sun.java2d.SunGraphics2d....etc. Something that basically identifies this Graphics object. What i believe will solve my issue, is figuring out how to get the "getGraphics()" method to return something other than null BEFORE it is initially painted to the screen. Once the Graphics object is instantiated, I believe that will solve the extra time issue when first entering a screen. Using a card layout will still make the graphics object null until it is first painted....or something else initializes it...and that is what I'm trying to figure out.

  • Will enabling pipelining make my Firefox experience faster?

    If it do, I wonder what to drawbacks are that make people not use this feature in about:config.
    Additionally I wonder what about:config changes I should make to make to have pipelining run correctly.
    Thanks!

    The extension Pipelining Firefox will make the following changes to about:config. So I guess they will make a good outline of what to change.
    network.http.pipelining
    network.http.pipelining.aggressive
    network.http.pipelining.ssl
    network.http.proxy.pipelining
    It will also set the

  • How to make the start up faster?

    I bought my MBP on April. During the first couple of weeks, the start up was impressive! So quick! But after I installed couple of programs I use at uni, it start up seems to slowed down a bit. Recently I installed Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and couple of other Adobe products. Now the start up is significantly slow compare to before. I was wondering if the services from these programs are running during the startup. So I disabled them via "Login Items". But I'm not too sure if it stops them completely.
    Any suggestions to make start up faster?

    Is it still showing up in your ad-on manager?

  • Which option is the best - Upgrade from GRC 5.3 to 10.1 or migration from GRC 5.3 to 10.1

    Hi All,
    One of my client is expecting to use GRC 10.1. Currently they have GRC 5.3 and want to upgrade to GRC 10.1
    Can anybody give me benefits of both options - Upgrade vs Migration then it would be great ?
    Thanks,
    Aditi Shah

    Hello Steve,
    Migration you deploy Java component and extract data form 5.3 and import in 10.
    still lots of work to be done like and implementation as there are pre-requisite.
    second approach does not need to extract all data from 5.3 system(apart from Ruleset,if at all its required)
    I never migrate workflows better to create new one identical and faster i believe .
    Second approach is little time consuming but good from my point of view.
    In java stack people normally go with 2 system landscape .
    there has been client where in ABAP people go with 3 system landscape.
    now where tricky consulting part play and which data to be imported where.
    and few other points needed to be looked like when you use tools and import data.
    you actually import all transaction  data which contain all active and inactive
    expired.
    in you go with 2nd option you will have only valid data to start with.

    Prasant

    Is there any trigger on the table you're inserting? You could consider disabling constraints (in case any exists) if you're sure enough of the data you're inserting and no one else "touches" the table while you're working on it.

  • Gallery (3.0.2): Bugs & no sorting option make the App useless

    Hi,
    I recently received my Touchpad. When I openend the Gallery App I was impressed by the design and the nice integration. Unfortunately, I had to find out soon that - while the app looks good - it is practically useless. This is basically for two reasons:
    1. There is no option at all to sort the files within one folder. I always assumed that this would be the first thing a developer would think of. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. I recently copied the pics of my last holiday to the Touchpad, only to find out that they were appearing in random order. There is no chance to sort or rearrange them, so in the end I left my Touchpad at home and took my notebook with me to show the pictures to my family. Very disappointing.
    2. Pictures show up twice. When I flicked through the copied pictures, the Touchpad would display several pictures twice. So when I swiped to the next picture, it would show the same one again. I first thought that the pictures actually were duplicates. But when I deleted one of the - assumed - duplicates, the other one was gone as well.
    Additionally - as I'm already writing this post: I'm desperately missing the Picasa / Google Pictures integration.
    I would be really happy if HP / Palm would solve these issues, as I think that browing pictures should be one of the very basic features.
    Is this forum monitored by HP / Palm support / development staff? Otherwise: is there an official contact to write to?
    Best regards,
    Alphajoe
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    @Terabyte
    This is base functionality - touchpad should not have been released wiltout the ability to change sort/view order etc. Please get this sorted ASAP, re-iterate to the WebOS team that this should of been base functionality and it is an urgent requirement.  I am aware of quite a few new touchpad oweners who are extremely disappointed and shocked that you cannot even sort photos into a logical order.
    Laffer.

  • C++ speak the text libraries, not sure which option in the project to include

    Hi, i have downloaded all the necessary libraries to speak the text, here the link to the project libraries:
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17897/audio-ostream-A-Text-to-Speech-ostream
    and they require to include them in the project settings.
    Pre-Requisites
    For the code to compile and run you will need 3 libraries:
    For the TTS engine, you will need to install the Microsoft
    Speech SDK (I used ver. 5.1).
    For COMSTL you will need the STLSoft libraries (you'll need STLSoft
    version 1.9.1 beta 44, or later).
    The Boost Iostreams library. You can download Boost here.
    Set your compiler and linker paths accordingly (Boost and STLSOft are header only).
    Not sure how to include them into the project setting ???
    Get back thanks in advance...
