Hi everyone,
I'm trying out a 100(down)/5(up) Mbps internet connection, and am finding that I can't get more than 25 down on the 5 GHz range and 12 down on the 2.4 GHz range of my router (dlink dap-825).
From what I've read on the smallnetbuilder site, it won't be possible for me to do much better than this, considering that my router is two floors down. I just want see if this is indeed the case. Suppose I get a faster wireless router, can I expect to get close to 100 Mbps?
I also find it strange that the 5 GHz range is faster. I thought that it would be slower since the signal is weaker. I've tried playing with the settings, selected n-mode only, and have the encryption set to WPA2, but nothing seems to change the throughput.
Thanks!
