How can I change "Receive rate and Transmit rate“ on band n？
Hi How can I change "Receive rate and Transmit rate“ on band n？Please see the below info., which is from a PC's command "netsh wlan show interface". Question is no matter how far or close to AP the PC is, the receive and transmit rate is same as 72 Mbps. The PC is using band n, so the rate should be 300 Mbps. but when the PC is closer to AP, the speed( using "www.speedtest.net") could be increased, but the below info("Receive rate and Transmit rate“) does not increased
C:\Users\abc>netsh wlan show interface
There is 1 interface on the system:

See this article on channel bonding.

"The 802.11n standard specifies 300 Mbps theoretical bandwidth is available when using channel bonding. Without it, about 50% of this bandwidth is lost (actually slightly more due to protocol overhead considerations), and in those cases, 802.11n equipment will generally report connections in the 130-150 Mbps rated range."
If you are in a town or city, remember that you do not have exclusive use of the WiFi band. Everybody within a mile of you who has an N router is trying to use the same, very limited bandwidth. That results in greatly degraded signal quality, collisions and significant lowering of speed. 130-150 Mbps assumes perfect transmission conditions with no nearby WiFi installations competing; in a town this is not the case and 72 Mbps is a range I'd consider typical.
"Channel bonding substantially increases the risk of interfering with nearby Wi-Fi networks due to the increased spectrum and power it consumes."
In other words, if you use channel bonding that will cause problems for other people.

Thanks for your reply. i tried different nic and PC at the same n router. i notice this is caused by nic.
Check your router and likely replace it.
