Wireless Networking and DVD Ripping

Wireless Networking

To measure the performance of the Wireless adapater we use Microsoft’s NTTTCP network bandwidth testing tool and compare the results against other wireless adapters. For this test, the laptop was located 2″ from the antenna to reduce the effects of other radio sources like cell and cordless phones, and other RF devices. But due to the mature of WiFi networking, this test is not 100% accurate since it’s impossible to eliminate interfering signals.

The Asus W7J is right on par with the other WiFi adapters tested.

DVD

To test DVD performance we use DVD Decrypter to make a back-up of the first disk of the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
