Slow Wi-Fi vs Fast Ethernet comparison
Slow Wi-Fi vs Fast Ethernet comparison
Hey, why did I get only 72.0 Mbps even though my laptop is just a meter away from the router? On Ethernet I saw 100.0 Mbps. Only my laptop and phone are connected, but my router is a Dlink GO RT N 150. My friend has a router that supports 150 Mbps and suggested using his Wi-Fi because he usually uses Ethernet. He got 100 Mbps, just like me. But I'm getting 72 out of 100 when I use Wi-Fi? That's strange. Is it really about distance? I've tested with only my laptop connected and still got 72 Mbps. The laptop's LAN is 10/100 Mbps, Wi-Fi uses 802.11b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0. It's weird, what's the real reason?
The way racism is described often varies from what marketing claims to what performance actually delivers. In reality, a 72 Mbps connection is quite adequate for basic Wi-Fi, but I usually see speeds between 40-45 Mbps. The equipment seems limited in handling much higher rates, which is common. For improved performance, consider upgrading to a dedicated access point. You’ll also need to address the 100 Mbps limitation, as it could become a problem. Additionally, achieving 150 Mbps won’t be possible if the Ethernet port only supports 100 Mbps.
AP is what I’m talking about. I’m having trouble reaching 150Mb speed. I thought my router could handle it, but I have 100Mb on Ethernet—I pay for that. So I guess I need 100Mb on Wi-Fi too. Maybe my laptop isn’t good enough. It’s a Lenovo G505 with an Intel i7 7th gen and newer parts, which might explain the difference. The CPU isn’t the main issue, but the overall hardware could be better.
AP refers to the access point, essentially the wireless part of your router. It’s interesting how a device can claim high speeds like 150Mb/s even if its internet connection is capped at 100Mb/s. Are your laptop and other nearby networks interfering with the signal? You might want to check if your device supports Wireless N and consider running a WiFi analyzer scan to identify potential sources of disruption.
Ap is essentially an access point, similar to a router but lacking additional LAN ports. Ubiquiti offers some products that are surprisingly effective for their cost. The coverage is solid, performance is strong, and it’s generally a great package overall. It’s a bit pricey, but definitely worth it.
router changes Wi-Fi settings automatically based on the oldest device it connects, check current configuration and determine if improvements are possible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11
it is, but in another way. we are discussing the connection speed. my friend gets a 100mb connection and receives 100mb via Ethernet, whereas i get 100mb over Ethernet and 72mb through Wi-Fi. ethernet is more dependable and quicker with less delay naturally.
