Solve : Will wireless connect v. wired bottleneck dedicated rackmount

1.	Solve : Will wireless connect v. wired bottleneck dedicated rackmount server?
Answer» Hello, I am planning to setup a rackmounted server using old parts that I will soon have due to upgrading my current desktop. Old parts: AMD 9500 Phenom, 3GB DDR2 800Mhz, 8500GT GPU, 450watt PSU. I live with my parents and I already know without asking that I won't be able to run ethernet either through the walls or on the floor or ceiling. I plan to use the server to host an L4D2 server, my internet is 10 megabits down and .93-1.00 megabits up connection, even with wireless G connected on my desktop I get maximum speeds 99% of the time. So, will having the server connected using WIFI bottleneck it's PERFORMANCE? I'm going to be using a CCI EZFOLD wall mounted server rack, and a 4U server chassis to fit everything inside. Have FUN! Your ISP limit you to 10 M bps download, Right? If you Wireless is running at near 54 M bps, the connection to the Internet would not be much faster if you had a direct Ethernet cable. As you said, maximum speeds 99% of the time. That is as good as it gets. For a server, you would like to have the 'uplink' speed to be better. But the ISP has an asymmetrical bandwidth for technical reasons. Are you going to put up a web site?Quote from: Geek-9pm on October 14, 2011, 10:48:57 AM Have Fun!
