[RT] wired vs wireless LAN for trading

["Charlie" <lin-hua@xxxxxxxxxx>]



hinton one small suggestion, i had some problems with data surges (fed days, etc) that were solved by making sure all IP connection points were upgraded to gigabit speed-- router, hub/switch, and data cards.  If you want to go the extra mile, change out any cat 5 cables to cat 6 STP (shielded twisted pair).  the gigabit makes more of a difference that you might think.

 

i have a wired/wireless home LAN with 4 computers - 2 for trading (wTS8 and IB) so a hi rate of data

Subject: [RT] wired vs wireless LAN for trading

I run a two PC workstation, wired to a router, collecting IB futures data for

Tradestation 2000i. Would a wireless router handle the load as well as what I've got now?

 

Soon, fortunately, my ISP will replace the current normal DSL with 100 mbps fiber. Might a wireless router be a bottleneck, more than a wired one?  Any other hardware considerations for fully utilizing a fiber optic connection?

 

Thanks for any ideas on this. For the first time I have a use for wireless LAN, but I don't want to sacrifice my data collection in any way.
