Is WiFi G Faster than B in Windows Mobile?

2007-11-29
hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocketnow.com and this is a video of an interesting to see if there's actually a speed difference between 802 11 g and 802 11 be on a windows mobile device so right now i have my wireless router it's a standard netgear wireless g router set to broadcast and only be mode so I'm here at dsl report com / m speed and I'm going to run the one megabyte test and record all three I'm going to do it three times and then record the numbers and average them so here's the first one and we get 972 kilobits per second with a latency of 1.1 38 okay let's do that again click the back button click that second one is 1108 latency of point 096 and one more time and we get 1097 kilobits per second and latency of point zero eight eight okay let me switch the router to G mode only okay let's do this for the g mode I'm going to click back and do one megabyte again get ready to record this see if it's faster a little bit faster 1139 kilobits per second latency of 0.08 six let's do it twice more to be fair we get 1192 latency 0 point 0 87 back do it once more and then we'll average these finally we get one one six zero latency of point 116 okay okay so the results are in 802 11 be averaged 1059 kilobits per second with a latency of Oh point one zero seven seconds 802 11 g averaged 1164 kilobits per second with a latency of 0 point 0 9 60 G is faster than be on a windows mobile device but marginally you would think that it would be much more considering that G is 54 mega bits per second broadcast and B is 11 megabits per second certainly we don't expect to come to those speeds those are theoretical maximum and you're not going to get that on a mobile device or even a laptop but this difference is very small I'm curious as to why perhaps it was the speed test that we used though i did use other speed tests before this video and they showed similar results so interesting results of this test no doubt
