Photon WiFi Throughput

Hello…!

My Photon is able to connect to local WiFi network (as at TCP/UDP client) and can able to send big chunk (4 KB) of data to Laptop (TCP/UDP server).

I am using netcat utility to receive data on Laptop.

I am looking for the Photon’s wifi speed. How to check the Photon’s Throughput? Actual Wireless Throughput shows upto 200KB/s. Can I get faster then this?

Please help me measuring Photon throughput…!

Thanks.!
Kind Regards,

I regularly get a minimum of 800 Kbytes/sec over TCP, outbound from the Photon. Sometimes you can get over 1 Mbyte/sec, but conditions have to be ideal to sustain that; 800 Kbytes/sec. is reasonable.

@rickkas7 Thanks for quick reply and pointer to you other useful thread.

The theoretical throughput of 802.11g is 54 Mbps, but photon gives ~7 Mbps based on your test. Does TCP stack lot of overhead? (I don’t know much about TCP/UDP :frowning: )

Which tool/utility/method did you use to measure this speed?

Please suggest me needful.

Thanks.!
