RAXE450 5GHz band averaging 750-950 Mbps
I have a Dell equipped with an Intel Killer Wireless 1650 Wi-Fi Card which supports up to 2.4 Gbps @ 160Mhz on the 5GHz ax band. I regularly use this laptop and get 1400-1600 Mbps in the office and o...
Killer branded adapters have there own QoS features I believe. Something you might look into and see if any of these features can be disabled.
Try a different wifi AX adapter to compare results.
I've been trying to sort this out a few ways. I went out and bagged a Nighthawk Dual-Band USB 3.0 Adapter (A7000) to see if that fixed the problem.. That even performed worse, hitting 425-625 Mbps, when its advertised as: "This AC1900 USB 3.0 adapter wirelessly connects your laptop or desktop computer with WiFi speeds up to 1.9Gbps". Tests were done with clear line of sight, at 3 and 6 feet fromt he router.
Then I gave up on the router, returned it, and got a new RAXE500. With the RAXE500, My Killer wireless speeds on the Killer Wireless card, on the lower end, jumped to 850 Mbps, but still maxing out t around 950 Mbps, The internet speed from CM2000 to RAXE500 is averaging about 1400-1475 Mbps. The A7000 adapter is still choking at 425-625 Mbps.
All these results are similar from the second PC, as well.
So far, seems the only Netgear product not giving any issues has been the CM2000.
Any ideas of where we can go from here, before I return everything?
