How to increase wifi speed (130 mbs fed to router but 39 mbs max wifi )
Hello, I have upgraded my Internet provider to a 120 mbs feed into my home. I am actually getting 130 mbs at the RBR50 Orbi router. However, the wifi speed in my home reaches only 39 mbs. How can...
The iPod will be limited in this wifi design and support. I presume it maybe where your problem is.
I recommend testing with a different device, like a phone, pad, laptop or PC with wireless capabilities to compare speed results.
I checked with a 5 yr old ipad an obtained 45 mbs.
But then I checked with my laptop and got 128 mbs !!
So it is the output device (ipod, ipad, laptop) that throttles the wifi speed and not the router / satelite combination.Interesting.
iPods are not know for there wifi performances. Pads have better wifi, depends on there design and support. To ensure your seeing good speeds on wifi, always check with a laptop or phone or something that has a good wifi design.
Enjoy.
