Making WiFi fast

Pick a standard number of devices typical in the home - let's say 5. And let's say our wifi router has a max bandwidth of 100Mb/s.

Now fire up 5 devices, clobber the access point, and see the total throughput. If each device manages 10Mb/s, that means the router is achieving 50% of theoretical maximum throughput.

I know it's pretty much the same benchmark as they currently use, except they use one device so they achieve 100% of theoretical max, and they quote the throughput.

If we can go to Ham and say "in a typical home, with 5 devices, half your throughput is unusable", that's a benchmark he won't like becoming public ... :-)

Cheers,
