could somebody explain to me why the download speeds are so slow? |
I think it's location based, my downloads are usually at the right speeds on that slow ass USB ethernet thing, pretty sure the Wii U caps it out most of the time actually but it's stable.
Question, superchunk, where do you live?

Slow ass? Unless you have a 200M/bit+ internet connection, which I rarely doubt even then you would still be downloading games at possibly 40 M/Bps+ with the ethernet thing. 40MBps was just a comparison as that's what most USB 2.0 HDDs achieve. I mean I consider my 20Mbps or 2.4MBps internet good. And using the adapter will probably result in a more stable connection than Wifi unless your Wii-U is touching the router.

I'm going to test it real quick on speedtest and see if it's actually 100Base-T in a bit, I was alwasy under the impression that it's 10 which would be like 1.25MB capped out and frawn face slow but the ping is better for playing games, will update later, if speedtest runs lol.

Right, I wasn't thinking about that type of cap. You're right. Theoretically if it's a base 10 then yeah it will be capped at 1.25. And if you're lucky and its a base 100 you've got a 12MBps cap. I owe myself a facepalm. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just tested it and it's slower than my Wifi on transfer speed LOL! It does respond faster on web page loading though, now if they'd just release a gigabit version.....
