Hi all,
I know first hand and through researching articles in the past that it is simply unfeasable to run a microsoft access database across a WLAN unless using some form of terminal server/upsizing to a SQL server. The WLAN connections are typically seen when trying to access your office network through some form of VPN.
Now my issue is that the office I work in has recently switched to a wireless setup. I previously discussed this in another thread whilst the new network was being setup and have since realised that running through wireless seems to be exactly as slow as running through a WLAN / VPN.
Is this the correct characteristics I am seeing? I am sure I have read a few times that people are succesfully running databases wirelessly within their office (even if there is a very high risk of corruption through JET due to loss of connections etc.) I am not a networking guru but I assume the 100.mbps speeds you can get through your ethernet cable and a direct connection to the network can simply not be met by a wireless setup and hence this is the delay? Much like trying to access via VPN etc where your connection may only be 3mbps and less
