what's your max WiFi transfer speed? — Nokia N80 — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Hello, I just got my n80 yesterday. At home we have a wireless router to which my notebook is able to connect at 120 KB/s (that's our adsl line limit) but on my n80 phone I am transfering only at about 10-20 KB/s or less . I did a test, opened a website on the mobile , and the exact same website on the notebook at the same time (both connected to the same wifi router) and the phone was at about 10% loading while the notebook was already done.
Is this normal? Technically what's the wifi speed limit for the n80 in terms of KB/s ?

I am using the built in web browser under Personal > Web .. maybe switching to a different browser such as Opera will increase the speed? :con?

Thanks..

The browser is not the culprit. Wi-Fi on Symbian really isn't that fast. Don't know the details of why. Faster (and cheaper) than GPRS, though (or Bluetooth), if that's any consolation. 😉

note the signal is generally lower on the phone and that relates to the download speed.

Don't know what the absolute limit is but here you can see I'm connected to my router at a speed in excess of your notebook. The speed is shown at the bottom

I usually get about 2000 KB/s at home via WiFi using my Linksys router
