Toshiba Mini 205-x vs Asus Eee 1005 HA - wireless speed connection. Is there any significant difference with internet speed connection ?

it depends on the network. N networks are so far the fastest, but in all reality, i HIGHLY doubt anybody can tell which is faster considering we are limited on our bandwidth anyways. im in the netbook market now as well and after my research i would go with the toshiba nb205 due to the keyboard. BUT i am now leaning towards the 11.6 to 12.1 inchers. not only bigger keyboards but also bigger screens and STILL extremely portable with long battery life.

The info on amazon is incorrect None of Asus Eee Pc's havd modems. I called the manufacturer and they said none of these sold in the USA have modems

From what I remember installing it there is an Ethernet connector on the back, but as with most modern equipment it's either/or. I doubt you'd see a major difference between wired and WiFi, as long as it's not too far from your WiFi router.

It depends on your wifi router speed, not your internet speed. I use a Belkin AC1800 dual band wifi router with the 802.11ac network standard, that is the faster than 802.11n. But you must remember that this Belkin N150 Micro Wireless Usb Adapter is an 802.11n. I can't tell you that it will work in full speed at distance of 5 feet, but if you insert the usb adapter in the closest side from your router (e.g.: I use mine in the usb port in the right side of my laptop and my router is located in a room right next to my laptop) but it will work better, I've tried it, and when I install it on the left side of my laptop the speed falls to half. If you use an USB 3.0 port on your laptop, it will work faster too. But I believe that the new laptop with USB 3.0 they already have an wifi adapter inside it with an 802.11 a/b/g/n or even a/b/g/n/ac. I believe that this will help you. Best regards, Dalton Miyabara

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

You can connect to the 2540 with your wireless device. Other than that, I don't know of a difference. Here's a PDF Brochure that shows them both: www.bmstech.com.au/brochures/hp/deskjet1510.pdf

The included WiFi is pretty crappy. I was getting 3-5mb/s over my network, and poor connectivity in my bedroom, which is usually not a problem. I ordered an Intel 6235 WiFi card for $23 here on Amazon. Windows8 didn't even need drivers. I am getting 50+mb/s and great connectivity on 2.4GHz, and the 6235 has 5GHz too. (Installation is cake. unscrew the bottom, swap the card, screw back up. 5m)

I replaced a latest gen Airport Express in the hopes of better wifi coverage (still N), but I don't notice any appreciable difference. I'm keeping the unit, mainly in future proofing for new idevices with the AC protocol.

AJB, you are correct that they are not the same, they are indeed quite different. You hit on almost all of the differences, here are the other two: - the 1005PE-MU17 has 802.11 b/g/n whereas the 1001P-PU17 has 802.11 b/g - the 1001P-PU17 has Bluetooth and the 1005PE-MU17 does not

I have not used the AC 1600 so I cannot make a valid comparison. My experience with this router is that I am getting download speeds for the 5 Mhz wifi network that approximate the speeds that I experience when connected to an Ethernet cable (95Mbps on a cable TV internet service) -- even when myPC is located at a maximum distance from the wifi router inside my 2 story, 2500 sq ft home.

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

The N300 is a faster router with better band. The N150R works fine it just limited on reach. Mine does not get connection in my garage. As stated by someone else it works fine for gaming when its in the same room I've never had problems on pc gaming or xbox one gaming

Your processor speed shouldn't matter nor processor type. As long as the socket type of the mini wifi card is identical to the socket it will connect to. The newer the OS, the quicker windows will find the driver for you. The older it is, then you will most likely have to find it. Should work if the sockets are the same...

I can't see a change in wifi speed but the ram problems are fixed. The update was a little on the hard to update side for my unit. i think the new model g-tab has the update but not sure I bought my two a year ago.

Linksys wrt54g wireless router has 10/100Mb/s Ethernet switch ports. The SE2800 switch will connect with the router at 100Mb/s, not Gigabit 1000Mb/s speeds. The rest of the SE2800 ports are available to operate at Gigabit speeds when connected to Gigabit devices.

Yes you can. It even comes with the Windows XP drivers (you'll need them), which is nice because downloading them from the ASUS web site takes a LONG time, no matter what your internet connection speed is. They're in Taipei, and from here it seems like their servers are connected via a 56k modem. It's not the easiest process, though. There's no CD drive, so you'll have to install from a USB drive, or possibly share a CD drive from another computer on the network. Make sure you have the Windows drivers on a USB drive, since you won't have network connectivity until you've installed the network driver. In the BIOS, change OS Installation from "finished" to "start". This is the same for the smaller Eee PC as well. I had a trial edition of XP on the 8G which expired, and it was a major pain to get XP installed. But with a working OS, it should be much easier. But, you might like the Linux version too. It's pretty slick.
