VERY. today i havent anything problems with speed!!! i can run all tests. uplink match my adsl tariff - exactly as in my win7/2k... look on screen its was uoload test. now look on download. i cant run iperf3 on 9x for downlink test, so here present only ftp download. its kbytes, not kbites. its good speed - i first time see such wifi speed on 9x. but yeasterday iperf and other tests just not work. i does not changes on my configuration. possible today Alpha Centaury's activity is low, and this help work my wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneCrusader Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I obtained a USB Wifi Adapter based on the RTL8187 chipset which has a working Windows 9x driver without WDMEX. I thought I would use one that had working drivers and compare the results to what has been seen with the devices here using RT2870.SYS. The download speed is still garbage, it never exceeds 150KB/sec and floats around the 142~149KB/sec range so it appears there is some kind of "limit" at 150KB/sec under 9x for wireless LAN for whatever reason. This needs to be researched... Also, after a few minutes of downloading a large file I get a non-informative BSOD with a garbage address in it just as I get when using the RT2870 device with WDMEX. This may or may not be related to the speed "limit" if some kind of buffer is being overloaded or something isn't keeping up. Also noticed the USB Adapter was pretty hot after only a few minutes of use, I don't use WiFi very much so I don't know if this is normal or not. So whatever causes this BSOD is not related to WDMEX or the missing functions it provides for RT2870.SYS. A different BSOD that appears with the RT2870 devices does not appear with the RTL8187 however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might have just figured this out, but if yours is working faster then it throws my new theory out. (more below) 50 minutes ago, MERCURY127 said: yes, its normal. wifi, bluetooth, cell modems, other high frequency radiodevices - all they relative hot when intensive used. but they not be to smoke or smell Good! Now for a theory about the speed issues: What if all 9x-compatible USB WiFi devices (and their drivers) are assuming that Windows 9x only supports USB 1.0/1.1? Since Microsoft offered no official USB2 support, many manufacturers assume that no USB2 support exists for 9x. (For example noted in this manual for a 9x-compatible TP-Link USB adapter.) Now, to extrapolate further: USB1 speed of 1.5Mbits/sec = 192KBytes/sec. Assume a "safe" limit of 150KBytes/sec when writing a driver for USB1 bus speed? Of course this is all just speculation. But it made sense until you said that you were getting 250KBytes/sec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERCURY127 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) today i insert in my second comp (which p3) old (96/98 year) Intel PCI 100M Ethernet card. special for tests... at first, i run test toool PCATTCP on p3 with 100M PCI card working under 98, and realtek 150M wifi on Core i7 under 7. traffic run via Zyxel Keeenetic DSL router (4x 100M ports and 300 Mbiit wifi). i get that results: 94 Mbits when "pcattcp -u -t" runned on i7 (UPload from i7, i7 is generate traffic, limited 100M PCI card on p3) and 66 Mbits in revert direction (pcattcp -s -c runned on i7, DOWNload to i7, p3 generate traffic, limited p3 performance?). its matched to 10/7 Mbytes/sec... here is UDP test, in TCP mode results is lower. after this, i repeat test with ralink wifi on i7 under 98 (i now can run usb on i7 with 98 using wdmstub, nusb and usbhub20 from 2k/xp, mouse, flash and wifi now work relative good, but glicerol periodially appear again)... i get 24/66 (yes, again 66 downlink for ralink dongle, with 98 on both ends) Mbits in UDP mode between two 98 systems. on screen is i7 machine with uplink (outgoing) test. but as seen, UPlink for our ralink wifi on 98 is much less then maximum... limited by 98? but on second machine with PCI ethernet we seen stable 66, and even more, 94 mbit! after this i run pcattcp -u -c -t on p3 (infinity traffic generation from p3 to i7 at 66 mbit speed) and fast (3-5 seconds) get bsod on i7 (where used our unfficial ralink with 98)... so i think, this ralink driver have some little incompatibilities with 98 (obviously, cap? ), but in general - work very good!

No, Windows ME doesn't have native USB2 support either. Microsoft made no USB2 drivers for 98/ME and I guess we're lucky that the 2K files just happen to work. A USBHUB20.SYS 4.90.3000 does exist, but this file was developed by VIA and distributed with their USB2 controllers. It doesn't come from Microsoft and it isn't universal, only working with VIA controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumper Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Intel, NEC, and VIA all provide USB2.0 support in the drivers for their Win9x-compatible USB chipsets. Intel is supposed to be the fastest. My SiS-based machine only has USB 1.1 onboard, but I remember getting 4Mbits sustained downloads in the past with my Airlink101 USB wifi dongle. Yesterday I peaked at 5Mbits via my NIC-connected (SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter) external Wifi modem (also Airlink101). Win9x will definitely do some higher speeds if you get your Receive Window and other network parameters tweaked correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, various manufacturers provided USB2 drivers (I'm aware of the OrangeWare and VIA stacks, any others out there?) but there was no direct Microsoft support. Which I'm inclined to believe some other manufacturers (maybe not all) used this as an excuse to not provide USB2-speed capable drivers. I have no way to prove this yet but something is amiss with these ridiculously low USB WiFi speeds. There's no speed issue with PCI or even PCI-E network cards, only with USB WiFi. Unless there are some settings separate for this specifically then I don't see how tweaking network parameters will help... what tweaks would you suggest though? Anyone know if the security type used by a WiFi network has an effect on speed? (And/or affects 9x differently than say XP?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mass Storage driver won't affect USB networking, but some of the others probably do. Security type probably does affect speed. The drivers have to encrypt/decrypt each packet sent/received if it isn't handled by the chip (unlikely in low-cost products).
