I have two questions and maybe a few sub questions lol. First I wanted to know what the packets and all that meant when you click on controlpanel/networksettings. It shows
EXAMPLE:
SENT
2,343,345
RECEIVED
434,222
Can you tell me what that means?
Another thing is that I have Broadband internet with a wireless D-Link router, and I have a D-Link 122 wireless USB adapter thats connected to a laptop. Sometimes though, if I watch a stream (on the laptop with the wireless adapter), it pauses during the stream and tries to catch up but it usually messes it all up and really never catches up. I took some notes and found when my laptop or any computer is hooked straight up to the router/cable modem with a cord, (the normal way) the packets are in this area..
SENT 1,868,310,780,793
RECEIVED
12,790
And when I have just a wireless USB adapter connected to my laptop, the packets are in this area..
SENT 3,149,497
RECEIVED
30,190,785
I was hoping you guys could tell me the reasons what those mean and why it slows down with the wireless adapter. I know it's not as good as connecting straight up because it IS a wireless adapter, but it's not even 15 feet away from the router that the wireless adapter signal is connecting to, but since it is wireless with BROADBAND, it still should be close i'd think. Streams shouldn't really slow down on me like that, since really I have seen DIAL UP play videos perfect.
So can you guys help me?
PS: I have WINXP and the wireless adapter said it can go up to 310 or so indoor feet away from it.
