Hi there everyone. I'm not sure if this is similar to the SATA standards or something, but on a cross computer file transfer, I cannot pass 3.5MB/s on my 54MB/s network. One computer is using an EnGenius 108MB/s wireless card, and the signal is said to be Excellent or good most of the time. The receiving computer is on a 100MB/s ethernet connection, all to the same 54MB/s router. So why can't I pass 3.5 MB/s?a network connection is measures in megabits; your wireless is likely 54mbps. a 54mbps transfer speed is  6.75 Megabytes per second. however, even under optimal conditions, there will be packet loss, and of course overhead from the operating system and transfer protocols and so forth; 3.5megabytes a second seems about average TAKING all this into account.Oh, ok. Now I've GOT a slightly different question for you;

The ACTUAL router is in a room next to the one the computer is in. The rooms a SEPARATED by a wall, but it's only drywall since the router's room is unfinished. Does it take any complicated tools to strip an end of an Ethernet cable and thread it into this CAT5 wall plate in the wall?HONESTLY, I have no idea.
No tools required if you get this:  http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=32279Oh, that's extremely useful I'm glad I don't have to loose a cord.Here's your JBox.
