There really isn't going to be an easy way. This is the downside of wireless. If you are using 802.11n, then you can expect maximum speeds of just over 100Mbs, but there is a lot of overhead there, but it is much better than before. But, there is no wireless that can take full advantage of a Gigabit switch.

As you see, bottlenecks can be everywhere. Given that all computers must go through the switch, upgrading was a great idea. Cat5e and Cat6 can both run at 1Gb. It would seem at some point, wireless would become faster, but wired continues to stay far ahead.

There is only so much speed you can get. I mean if your Internet connection were 1Gbs down, you an incredible difference. But, on a network, whether you have 1Gbs or 100Gbs (which isn't possible -- just making a point), your packets can only travel so fast.

I think 3 seconds to 1 second is rather good. The best way to speed up your network would be to go all wired.

If you could give us the standard you are using (I am guessing what I stated above) and what wireless router, distances, WAPs, etc.

Just wondering. Is there a notable difference. I mean if can have two computers relatively close together, does AC open and work about three times faster?
