Gigabit Nic

Wireless and NIC both hooked up for more LAN speed?

I currently have a wireless N router, but it is not a gigabit router, and i can not afford one right now. I do alot of backing up to another computer, and I want more speed. I get around 9.50MBps with NIC hooked up, but when i bridged it with wireless N card, it only got around 5MBps? how would I go about making both work together so I can get more speed backing up my data? i do not have any more LAN cables or NIC cards.. is it possible to get more speed with way I am doing this?

Just forgte about trying to use both NIC's. The biggest issue is that they run at two different speeds and you need a switch that can handle teaming the NIC's. If you don't have the money for a gigabit router, then you are not going to have the money to buy a enterprise switch.

If you want better speed, hook the computer directly to what you're backing up to. If both devices are gigabit capable, you will get much higher throughput.
