What's the wifi speed required to work properly?

It works perfectly fine with just 3Mbps, through WiFi too not even through cable

Hard Internet wire is when you use the supplied ethernet wire that comes with this device directly to your Internet modem. Wireless wifi is when you configure your device to receive Internet connection without phydically attaching an ethernet wire between this device and your modem. Also hard wire connection doesnt need configuration. You plug the wire and start watching.

Rana, 15M download speed is enough. However your speed goes by the weekest link in your Internet setup and using wifi makes it hard to figure out what is slowing you down if your box starts buffering. Do your best to run a hard wire to your modem or router if at all possible.

I have a standard netgear wifi. If you think your wifi is not fast when you use your phone or laptop then don't get this one. Hope that's helped you

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

How many do you need it to? WiFi usually is good depending on how far from the device you are and how much bandwidth you need your devices to pull. If you're expecting to have, let's say 5 personal devices that streams, it will let you connect.... but then... how fast is your link to your provider... if you're paying 20Mbits then you might be stretching it... but if you've got 100Mbits then it'd be fine. But if you have "accessories" im sure you can connect 15, 20 probably even 25 no problem, as long as it doesnt pull much bandwidth. Hope this helps.

Just my $0.02 worth. I've been using the DIR 655 for a looong time now. The technology isn't the newest, but it is really solid and stable. I have a 100mbps internet connection (super fast). My wireless download speed is 20.74mbps. My wired is around 93mbps. Usually if your staying within your own network, you can achieve speeds up to 100mbps to 1gbps depending on your networking gear.I would recommend this device, but keep in mind that it's not dual-band and it doesn't support the latest in wireless networking technology.

Hi Chris. It's supposed to give you 300 Mbps wireless connectivity. The speed will also depend on your router's signal though, as well as wireless interference in the network

I have 35Mbps and it works fine. I was able to use it with a split Ethernet cable connection to my router also without any problems. I would advise against using a wireless connection based on my experience though.

1.6 GHz Its slow, I mean really slow. Also have had issued with WiFi Card and speed.

Definitely less than that. Currently it is having trouble picking up on the Wi-Fi in my home. I bought another adapter by HornetTek that is working much better although it's a bit bulkier. I believe my HornetTek adapter is supposed to get up to 300 or 400mbps. Remember this is just an estimate of speed the adapter can take in. It really depends on the speed of the Wi-Fi you are using.

You are correct that the WiFi is built in and it works very well. No additional hardware required.

The speed of your internet connection is irrelevant to this device. Anything under 100Mbps is going to be fine, anything over will work but will be throttled by the adapter. You're fine using this.

Runs from 702 to 900(right now it's at 877.5Mbps) using a WZR-D1800h(1.91 firmware) Buffalo router, at a distance about 25 feet from router. With a better router you may get better speeds. This card has the best antenna that I've ever seen on a Wireless NIC.

I am using a Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD; the NAS is wired to a Gigabit router and Wifi network is Wireless N 150Mbps. I was getting 9-10 MB/s. I was sitting around 3 meters from AP. Infact connecting to the 100Mbps port of the switch gave me same speed.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

Wifi is built in though the apps run very slow. I don't use that feature, I use my own external streaming devices.

It would depend on how many addresses you give it. A class-c subnet, the default (255.255.255.0) would be around 254 devices. There are 4 wired ports as well, but they get their IP's from that same pool. You could have more, but the bandwidth is shared among the wifi clients. 802.11n give you a 100Mbs and sometimes higher rate. The latency and throughput depend on distance, congestion, line of sight, and load. If your checking your email, not much BandWidth is used, if your watching videos or downloading files, then more BW is used by that client. I can stream dvd quality (2-4Mbs streams) to 2 or 3 televisions at the same time with no lag or issues now that I use this wifi.

The wifi works well. Adding an external drive should not be a problem either.

It's 2G, and internet speed is depend on the carrier. it works fast with wifi.
