I've been wonderingh why my wireless LAN has bee running so slow. The info in here explained why as well as good methods to speed it up. Too bad that one of them requires equipment upgrading. :( But, at least it won't be very expensive (yet). An adapter is a lot cheaper than an AC modem, for sure. And that would not have been an improvement with a G adapter that needs to go.
Thank you all for the tips.
WIRED down speed on trusty XP box 32
wireless down speed 29 per http://www.speedtest.net/ Motorola SBG6580 leased ($10/mo.) from Time Warner Cable (supposedly integrated 802.11n, but I'm getting 802.11g; problems when 2.4GHz->5) Modem specs claim potential 300+ TWC Plan "Extreme Internet" states 50 Mbps max desktop Dell (i7 CPU, Dell Wireless 1801 802.11b/g/n) 6 inches distance Tested 10:50 AM weekday (but summer so neighborhood kids may be home) No one else on channel 1
high wifi speed within the same room are good, but it is less a pb in these case to put a cable.
But when the router is in another room without LAN cable in the building, cable is not an option, so it has to be wifi. And with 20m distance, I am very far from the 450 Mbits promised by my router and receiver: with the room door open, I can get 30 Mbits, and when closed it sometimes drop to 15 Mbits. That sucks! (and note for other comments: please don't mix MB / MiB (Byte) and Mb/Mbits (bit). Network speed is mostly specified in Mbps / Megabits per seconds. 100 Mbits => 100/8 =12.5 MiB.
I'm in San Diego (La Jolla) and I just switched from AT&T DSL (6/0.6) to Time Warner's Ultimate 300 (formerly 50). Using a 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina and connecting wirelessly over the 802.11ac protocol to the latest AirPort Extreme base station, I have consistently received 400/20 mbps using dslreports speedtest. The bufferbloat is far lower than any other connection I've ever had: downstream 160 ms, upstream 50 ms.
I have Spectrum 300mbps. When running speed test on Ethernet I get around 350mbps.
I have a NETGEAR nighthawk ac1900 router. On 2.4ghz wifi I get around 90-110mbps. On 5g I get 250-300mbps, but this drops off rapidly at a distance of about 20-30 feet. Are these good wifi speeds considering what I am clocking on wired and with the hardware that I have? I've been driving myself crazy tweaking settings thinking I'm not getting what I paid for.
Route/WiFi card certainly critical.
Found on a New laptop with Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 connecting to a Arris NVG589 (2.4Ghz b/g/n) the combo dropped down to 802.11b speeds of around 4Mb/s regardless of any configuration and firmware I could test. In this case throwing a 5 year old USB WiFi stick on the new laptop gave me a more reasonable 40Mb/s .while connecting to a 3 year old Dlink 820L resulted in a useful throughput of 100Mb/s
Hello mate, I'm using a Fritzbox 7390 same as you. But I get less than 40 Mbps speeds. My wireless card is an Intel 7260 AC. I have played a lot with my router to speed this up like changing channels, bands, encryption and distance. But nothing seem to improve the speed. Is it possible for you to save the configuration file of the router and send me so I can restore and see whether it makes any improvement. Thanks
unrelated: I L O V E the crunchyness of this comment section.
The local ( non-stupid, non 3rd party server captcha, the weird alien or man-head for the anonymous avatar, the tiny pixel-perfect font in 1920x1080 raster look, the simplicity, non-requirement-of-registering FAST posting, the ability to rate posts by others) Question: if I wantd to run this php comment section on my webhosting for a few of my pages, what php comment script do I uses? is it a custom php comment section or can I download the php script/server-side application for it? thanks. P.S. mimo x2 atheros ac wireless laptop adapter, windows 10 registering as double mimo, total 866mbit/sec, practically giving connection speed top of 161mbit/sec via ookla application, about ~70 per ookla website.
BT FullFibre 900/110 Mbps speeds, and the router is BT SmartHub 2.
This router is 802.11ac. My personal laptop's WiFi adapter is 802.11ac, too. It is located 1.5 m from the router. Stated connection speed in WiFi adapter properties -- is 866/866 Mbps. Real WiFi speed by speedtest.net app goes up to 440 Mbps DOWN / 110 Mbps UP. On some servers somehow it reaches 550 Mbps, but this is rare. Typical limit is 440 down. Ethernet connection on my work laptop, however, deep in the night, can get up to 930 Mbps DOWN.
About the comment section: the comment script is custom (also uses the forum registration/logins), the captcha is one of the free php captcha scripts you can just google for.
EastExpert, thanks for sharing your experience. It depends how many concurrent WiFi streams you can get on your client from the router I suppose, and that's why the internet speeds are "up to" certain Mbps. |
