Your Intel NUC performs differently due to its internal configuration and network setup. The slower speeds you're experiencing on the NUC likely stem from how it manages data flow and bandwidth allocation, rather than just antenna placement. Factors like processing load, memory usage, or firmware settings could be impacting performance. Consider checking network drivers and ensuring your system is optimized for the available bandwidth.
It seems you're using a Wi-Fi connection, likely A/G, but it's not operating at 5GHz. Your phone does, so there might be a mismatch in the network settings or device capabilities.
What wireless router or internet gateway model are you employing? Does it accommodate wireless radios across both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies? 2.4GHz offers greater coverage but slower speeds than 5GHz, while the former experiences less interference from physical barriers. How distant are these units from the wireless source? Are obstacles like walls or floors present? The greater the distance, the diminished the bandwidth. Obstacles such as walls, floors, or bulky items will weaken the signal. Is your NUC housed in a cabinet, closet, against a wall, or on the floor? Consider relocating it onto a desk, ensuring optimal antenna positioning for stronger reception.
My router is configured for 2.4GHz because 5GHz causes connectivity issues (devices struggle with higher frequency). I’ve checked my phone near the modem, and when I use it as a hotspot, the modem successfully receives the full download.
