N150 Wireless Micro USB Adapter WNA1000M
Streaming HD video requires 10 to 30 Mbps per stream. Because latency and packet loss
can disrupt your video, plan to provide at least twice the capacity you need.
Streaming MP3 audio requires less than 1 Mbps per stream and does not strain most
modern networks. Like video, however, streaming audio is also sensitive to latency and
packet loss, so a congested network or a noisy link can cause problems.
Backing up computers over the network has become popular due to the availability of
inexpensive mass storage. The following table shows the time to transfer 1 gigabyte (1
GB) of data using various networking technologies.
