I'm maintaining a library of ebooks on a N800 for myself and a 770 for my wife. The N800 is running OS2008 and the 770 OS2007HE. The storage cards in each are formatted ext3.

When running rsync to update the libraries, I'm seeing a major difference in speed via wireless: The N800 regularly sees transfer speeds from the central library of 600-750 kB/s. However, the 770 is markedly slower, with speeds ranging from 21 kB/s to 300 kB/s, usually staying on the low side.

Are these slow speeds to be expected with the 770?

Thanks,
Jeff

Serge replied and pointed me here where I grabbed the overclock wifi module. I'm sorry to say, I don't see much difference. I'm now seeing an upper cap of around 300 kB/s and lower cap of 30 kB/s.

I'm using the following script to sync:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

[ $# -eq 0 ] && { echo >&2 Missing argument, type "booksync tabletname"; exit 1; }

echo starting sync with $1

sudo rsync --verbose  --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh \
--recursive --times --perms --links --delete \
--exclude "*bak" --exclude "*~" \
/software/books/* $1:/media/mmc1/books/
