Speeds over wifi connection

[Guest paw1]

The other day, i was transfering a typical movie file from my pc (via a wireless router) to my omnia2. The router is capablt of 54mbit transfers. The file transfer was done using Resco explorer after mapping my shared drive.

The speeds i'm getting are pretty bad. All i'm getting is a max of 350 kBps or ~2.8Mbps. that is when my phone is sitting next to the router. Is this the normal speed i should expect?

EDIT : Also, i've failed to stream it over wifi. Coreplayer deteriorates the quality, and is incapable of speeds more than 100kBps. Streaming player managed to transfer at 600+kBps but the video jerked a lot!(and not because of network bottleneck, i think its the processor).

I just tried file transfer over wifi via microsoft network sharing, and I transferred a 18M file over 34 seconds, about 520kB/s. My router is a 54m and on WPA2.

Also note that where you store your file affects the speed. The main memory is the fastest and that's when I get the 520kB/s. If I store it on 'My Storage', then the transfer speed will only be 100kB/s-200kB/s, even slower on 'Storage Card' for my case.

For streaming, it may be CPU limited, my experience for max bitrate for smooth play is also around the 1000kbps limit, and that's for 640x480 WMV. For higher resolution or h264 the bitrate may have to be even lower.

Thanks for the info. I guess i'll just have to use the wire for transfering huge files. BWT, while using the streaming player, i once noticed speeds of the order of 900 kBps ~ 7.2mbps, but again, the video playback was choppy as hell.

UPDATE : Achieved speeds of 1.2mBps (or 9.6Mbps) using "JAVA PS3 media Server" as DLNA server, and the default "Connected Home" as the client.

So, the device is capable of these speeds. All thats left is a dedicated application for data transfer, that can achieve these speeds, because apparently, no other application is able to give such speeds.
