Tonight I got sick and tired of my streaming movies buffering over the internet, so I started running some diagnostics and unplugging things. I was blown away when I cut the power to my two Foscam 8910W cameras. They have been absolutely murdering my Wi-Fi.
Using the apps Airport Utility and Speed Test, I took readings several times all over my house. I quickly found that I'm getting 5 and 2 Mb/s on my iPad and iPhone, respectively, with the Foscams running. Unplugging them immediately takes me to 16 Mb/s with the iPad and iPhone each.
