I haven't actually done any tests to see if the transfer is trully at 108, but what I have done is try to connect from diferent distances from the router, most of the time outside. As the signal degrades over the distance the speeds (indicated in the taskbar icons) do switch to lower or higher depending on the quality of the signal. This was done for a very picky friend who wanted to be able to use his laptop while on a floter in his pool (I know, I wouldn't do it, but he wanted it) Obviously, you can only get 108 when using an 108 router with an 108 card. -Mario -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of Vasile Surducan Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2007 4:44 AM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public.
