Jumped On Board Videotron's 30 mbps Service! - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Hi All,

I upgraded my internet service from high speed to the new 30 mbps service.

My question is: my speed is not the same on my laptop or my ihpone 4.

My main pc which is plugged in through the cable to the wrt610n router gets 30 on speedtest.net but the laptop and iphone on wifi wont go past 20 mbps.

is it normal that wifi would be slower than wired? my router and devices are N devices.

thanks for any info.

wifi is not a good judge of speed,
type and strength of connection are huge factors,
