R7000 Nighthawk Wired Connection Is Much Faster than Wireless
I'm using an R7000 Nighthawk currently and after testing internet speeds using speedtest.net, I found that a desktop that is directly connected with ethernet is more than 100 Mbps faster than a...
Thanks to everyone who tried to help, but there was an IT friend of my dad who came and said it was a certain chip (or something of the sort) in my computer that was wrong, so we got a Linksys Max-Stream AC600 Wi-Fi Micro USB Adapter. I can now get 90 Mbps on download. Thanks again for everyone's help.
This is totally normal and understandable. Ethernet is always faster than wifi and if wifi is a bit obstructed by walls the perf is crashing big time. For my Network backbone I use cat6 eth cable and with my R8500 or R7000 I'm getting awesome results 120 peak for 8500 and 105 Peak for 7000 Mo/s from NAS to PC wired! the weak points are ISP connections and wifi on a network!
I didn't think that it would cause so much of a difference. I know that wired will always be faster, but I didn't think the difference would be so great. I've been able to get 70 Mbps wireless before now.
What is your laptop?
What is your adaptator if one?
I have an ASUS laptop, with an i5 processor, 6 GB of ram, with Windows 10. What do you mean by adapter?
