wireless speed question
i have a friend that has his router downstairs, connected to a couple of BGC tv pass through int6400 which are Lan over AC adapters.
on the 2nd floor he has his 2nd lan over AC + wireless stick TL-WN821N plugged into usb
he has regulerly internet problems, so i tested it upstairs and downstairs, and got less than 10 Mbps download speed
i think this is way to low ( so it is possible the bottleneck is outside his home - it's being tested)
what max speed can i expect with this setup, knowing the router provides 385Mbs over lan? (not wireless)
when i tested on another location wireless, i got 30Mbs - is this normal?
and how to speed it up
system is running windows 7 64bit

You may wish to consider a new wireless stick. Otherwise, you may be getting the best speed you can. Wired speed seems decent.

ok i'll rephrase my question : please use the speedtest here https://www.ziggo.nl/speedtest/
and report the results for your wireless internet speed
and report the results for your wireless internet speed
Using Wi-Fi for internet, 17 Mbits/sec down 600 Kbits/sec up (which is what I pay for).
Using Wi-Fi for internal transfer, I get up to 90 Mbits/sec.
Using Wired for the same transfer, I get about 800 Mbits/sec.

17 Mbit only ? maybe i'm wrong, but that is very little compared to wired lan
anyway, tx for posting the result John

The 17 Mbit/sec is my modem speed (Not internal LAN speed). It bursts at 30 Mbits/sec and averages a steady 17 Mbits/sec. I can get and pay for more but that is workable for me.
My LAN speeds are much higher.
My LAN speeds are much higher.

can you guys post your wireless speed, using the site given above?
I used the site you used to post my results above.
21.78 Mbps down, 5.96 up from your site. This is on a 25/6 package from Comcast. The USA has some of the poorest data speeds in the world. In Singapore I had a solid 100 down 35 up.
It depends on distance from central...

Wayne, thanks for the info - the BGC tv pass through int6400 is the hardware offered by the ISP itself (so i suppose it is fine - also confirmed by the test downstairs - which gave the same poor result)
