Hello guys, good morning.

I'm from Philippines. Just wanna ask these
1. What's the purpose of Data Transfer Rate in my NIC?
2. Does Data Transfer Rate has to do with my Internet Speed or the Data Transfer Rate is for transferring files only via network?
3. Does the Data Transfer Rate increase the bandwidth of my Internet?

Hope someone can explain my noob questions.

Thanks and God bless.

I'm not sure where you are reading this off of, but if I am correctly assuming it's a power of 10 (wired connection) or 11/54/some other number (wireless), it refers only to the speed of the link between your computer and whatever it is directly connected to; probably a router. Between those two points, you should be theoretically able to move that much data, though sometimes consumer hardware is only nominally capable of the speeds it claims (particularly with gigabit stuff - once had a router that managed a whopping 21 MBps). If other computers are hooked up so that all the links are of a certain size, you can count on similar performance - so you can probably get 100 Mbit/s between your computer and another computer on your network if they're bothed hooked up by 100 Mbit ethernet. This is often referred to as 'link speed' or something like that, since it's only talking about a single point-to-point link of the network.

Addendum: Connection speed is determined by the weakest link, so in the totally certain case that not all of the links between, say, you and LQ are 100 Mbit, you're only going to be able to transfer at the speed of the slowest one. This making sense?

Hello Sir karamarisan! Thanks for replying my topic.

Nice post Sir. But I got a question again. Does the Turbo Mode in wireless router improve or boost the signal?

Because my friend has a Edimax wireless router which has a Turbo Mode feature. I forgot the model, sorry for that.

Thanks again Sir and God bless.

That's going to be some sort of proprietary (in the sense of being specific to whatever manufacturer his device comes from, rather than an industry standard) extension to 802.11g or 802.11n, the effect of which is probably increased speed and possible also increased range when you've got multiple devices made by them. If you want to know what exactly it promises, find some marketing material for products that have it - I am sure they advertise such a thing.
