link speed locked
i have an a6100 mini usb adapter paired to a c7000v2 gateway. the link speed is locked on 54/433. this is causing me to only get 200mbps down on my 600mbps internet plan. if i hardwire i get the full...
It not either. You con't see 600mbps wireless with the C7000.
Link speed is NOT the same as actual throughput speed. Its usually around that 55-65% but you're going to have +/-'s with that.
Add on the fact that the C7000 is a combo device so it won't have the same peak speed as a stand alone router device.
And the fact that the A6100 is a single antenna device meaning you're getting the max link speed that the A6100 has available. It doesn't have 2x2 antenna's for a better link speed.
So its not a "problem" its a misunderstanding of link speed and expected performance of the C7000/A6100.
