Half duplex refers to sending or receiving data. When you send only, you receive less bandwidth; similarly, you only get half the speed when sending as many packets as you receive. The main drop in performance usually comes from multiple devices sharing the same WiFi network. Speed is reduced by dividing the connection rate by the active client count. A network technician here shares that I’ve installed several multi-zone WiFi systems, performed sniffing and site surveys, and even done some DIY digital HAM projects. If your experience matches this, I wouldn’t have achieved around 5mb/s on 802.11g even though it was the standard. That figure represents its theoretical max, not actual performance. Modern hardware often bypasses ACK responses in most cases—sometimes 1:1, sometimes 1:2 or even 1:4. With aggressive tuning you can reach about 80% of the theoretical limit. Adjusting UDP/broadcast settings can push performance to 100%. Also, wired half-duplex works identically. The bandwidth split between upload and download isn’t fixed at 50/50; it changes based on network load. As a note, most consumer devices won’t reach rated speeds because they’re built for cost and compliance rather than performance.
