Is the latency between send and receive any different than DSL?

It depends on the internet speed ,you must have reliable internet speed to get good results

I've not seen any difference that is noticeable. Just pinged to a device on the remote side and the pings have 2 ms latency, pretty darn fast.

Our antennas are 0.9 miles apart. I am getting an average ping time of 2ms from my computer to the antenna at the other building. No latency issues at all.

We used the antennas between buildings about 200 feet apart. No latency whatsoever. Speeds as good as Ethernet even while using the antennas so support regular networking tasks and our shoretel system

My Bridge only covers about 100' from building to building but I detect no latency at all. I can't speak to the maximum distances which are advertised in miles.

I havent noticed a delay when I used it. If there is one it is hardly noticeable.

I do not notice any latency now. When I first installed the keyboard and mouse there was too much distance to the usb transceiver. In that case there was latency and sometimes just no response at all. Once I moved them closer together, it has worked fine ever since. It seems to work fine with 2 to 2.5 feet separation but more than that is a problem. Also, the transceiver was kind of buried in the computer case and somewhat shielded by the case.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

Yes, there is a brief delay but that's not unusual though. The time it takes for electronic devices make the so-called "electronic handshake" is normal for just about all switching devices.The length of the delay depends on the individual devices, some take longer than others, but in general I'd say between five and eight seconds. For the low price, this switch has been just great for me.

I use it with Logic Pro X and barely notice re latency. It's probably around 10 milliseconds or so with my setup.

Whether the router line enters a Low, Med, or High port on the switch, there is no impact on the speed of connected devices. I tested this. Also, the relative speed of connected devices does not vary between the Low, Med, or High ports unless there is a lot of traffic (e.g., streaming HD video) on a higher-priority port. The switch will then take some bandwidth from lower priority ports to ensure the quality of service on the higher priority port. Nearly all of the time, all ports will operate at the same high speed. WD should really document these things better, because while they're obvious to IT professionals, they're far from obvious to the home users that this product is marketed towards.

I am not sure about the actual speed compared to cable or dsl (I suspect a huge difference, slow with the Jetpack), but it is the limited amount of gigabytes which is the real screecher on that. If you never watch movies or go to YouTube or send or receive sizable pictures, it could be a solution. Otherwise, run away from this idea.

2000 mbps on a gb switch just means full duplex. It means that you can transmit 1000 mbps in each direction. I can't find any info on the actual throughput or whether or not jumbo frames are supported. Even if you enabled them on both the source and destination, you would still have to run wireshark or some similar solution to know if they were actually being sent. Since there are QoS port assignments, presumably the switch doesn't function at wirespeed though.

In my experience wi-fi for gaming or streaming is generally more stuttery. I use an ethernet connection to avoid that.

Sorry, don't know. My unit is off and stached away. I tried 2 different units, and it works as long as you don't move your computer. Move it by a couple of feet and latency increase and speed drops in spite of a full bar signal. I don't recommend it.

My experience is around 12-15 secs delay giving the internet speed with Comcast of 6 Mbps download and 28.85 Mbps uploads.

The DSL connection is a wired connection, Ethernet output is both a wired and wireless signal.

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

I don't remember the latency but I can say that it works fine with HP mini 1100

Haven't measured the speed , but don't notice myself waiting around for it to transfer files

The only time I notice any significant delay is when I move large blocks of files. Normal daily file transfer is fine. I stream movies off of it and use it for my iTunes library and it works like a charm.
