I dont know what version of Windows you are using or Mac but you can google how to find details of your network adapter for whatever you are using to see what it supports. Highest wireless speed I could get on g band was 24 mbps down. My laptop which is old does not so I bought a $14 usb adapter for it. You can find free apps for smartphones that will do the same thing.Īs far as bgn if your computer isnt that old then it most likely supports n band. A program called inSSIDer which used to be free but now charges allowed one to see activity in their neighborhood. Almost everyone in my neighborhood is on channel 6 so if I use 6 my speed comes to a crawl. You might see no change, slightly better or worse. If its set to 11 try the others then run the speed tests again. Log into the router and change the channel that its set to.
There is something you could try first which may improve the speeds some, but if you are on g band you arent going to get high on wireless although the speeds should be higher then they are. G (silver band with the dual antenna's which has n band) should work better. i (red band) or bridging a 3rd party n band router would improve it. If it has a silver band and one antenna then the router doesnt support n band only g which could very well be why you are getting slow speeds on wireless. Does yours have the silver band or red band? One antenna or 2? how am i supposed to know what wireless level my devices support?
Somewhere near but not spot on (fullerton) : (could not use verizon speed test on the phone so i tried OOKLA which many recommended) Without ehternet but in less than 2 feet radius of router: I currently reside in Los Angeles and these are screenshots of the speedtests. Does more then 1 server show low speeds? What about on the Verizon speed test?Īre you using an old g band router? What model router do you wrote: If I try the default I get 1 mbps myself, but all others test fine. If you are using speedtest try testing more then one server on it. The wireless network card in your device, the settings on the router, network interference within your home, channel congestion from neighbors, the servers you are actually connecting to, etc. Wireless speeds will vary for a lot of reasons.
Since you are getting what you are paying for wired, it's just a matter of finding out what could be causing the slow wireless speeds. I understand wifi is slower than ethernet, but is around 1mpbs normal or is it slower than it should be?Īlso, my router's been around 3-4 years old and I was wondering if it might be affecting the slow speed as well. While I get the max speed on ethernet, I barely get 1mbps on wireless be it a laptop, phone, tablet, whatsoever I am currently on the FIOS 50mpbs / 25mpbs plan
