A6200 to R6300 speed problems
Hi everyone. I do have an R6300 and an A6200 and I am facing the fillowing problem. When I first connect (5G) I only get 144 mbps and after a few minutes the speed increases to something around ...
For the adapter I have downloaded from the support website. The last update I obtained for the router, I use the GUI interface to perform the upgrade.
I have never used the Genie interface, preferring to control my router from the device IP. Doing so, I believe I have avoided most of the complaints brought forward in these threads.
Yesterday, I installed the new .11 standalone driver on my Win 7 64 bit laptop. I could not get speeds to report in the Windows Network and Sharing utility to above 270 mbs and the signal strength stayed at 4 bars under 15' from the router with no obstructions. While it seemed fast, I without actual testing rolled back to the .4 standalone and the speeds jumped to 866.5 with full bars. Who knows?
