Mine at work is so sad
I'm on a 12mbps download and 1mbps upload plan But it looks like Ive got the same ping time of 1ms. Its always the same (1ms) because I'm on the same optical fiber connection as the Square Kilometer Telescope Array that goes to the Pawsey supercomputer in Perth Western Australia 600+ kilometers away.I'm 500 Kilometers away north of Perth so not too bad for that distance Ay?
My brother asked me to help him with his internet speeds. When he is using his WiFi his download speed is 10.01 Mbps and upload speed 5.51 Mbps. His Ethernet speed has reached a top speed of 51 Mbps and upload speeds of atleast 6 Mbps. I did a ping test with command prompt and all packets were received. I have done diagnosis tests on the wifi driver with no problems coming up. He called his internet provider and they said the router is performing perfectly. I know you loose speed while using your wifi signal but I wouldn't think I would loose this much speed. I'm out of ideas of what it could be. Any ideas what could fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I'm no expert by any means but I know that Wi Fi is always slower.If you look up the specs of your router and see the Wi Fi rate you can halve it apparently? So if its 300mbps it will be 150mbps! The only way I know to improve Wi Fi speed is to upgrade to a better Wi Fi router with the latest 802.11a/g/n/ac channels,you've probably got the old 802.11a/g/n channels like me but it does me OK.

The router is an AT&T they rent out for their internet. I want to say it is the latest one. The channels are set on automatic and I uninstalled his WiFi driver and reinstall it. It seemed to increase the speed a little bit.
I never measured mine - it is just nums. But I never had reasons to complain about the speed. That is good enough for me.
