Hey everyone.
I was just wondering what a few other people get when they run speedtest.net on their Wii. I have a 12 mbps connection with 4.5 mbps upload. On my laptop in the same room I get a ping between 40 and 60. However, when I try to test the speed from the Wii I can only get a little less than 3 mbps down and 0.3 mbps up, with a ping of 85. All my matches are pretty laggy.
So I was just wondering if anyone else showed large descrepencies between their Wii and other network devices. I haven't played wifi in quite a while, but none of my old matches were ever this laggy, and back then my connection was only half the speed it is now. The system is fairly close to the router and is properly configured. I might end up needing to buy the lan adaptor, but I'm dead broke so I want to make sure it's my only option first.
For some reason the Wii only shows one bar when connecting. My router is just in the next room over and even my DS can get a full signal from outside (with my router on the second floor on the other side of the house).
