Hey!
I need some help understanding this topic.
I have a R7000 as my wireless router and NAS Server which is connected to the R7000 using a wire. I am using my Laptop with the Intel 7260 Ac wireless adapter for testing. My maximum Internet download speed is consistent 5,7 megabytes/s ( Around 50mbits).
When I am close to the router with my laptop I am reaching around 20-24mb/s transfering data to my laptop from the NAS. At this range I can also max out my internet download speed.
When I am further away I am getting about 12-16mb/s when transfering files from my NAS to the laptop. The maximum download speed drops to 4,5mb/s at this range.
My question now: Why does the download speed drop even though I am able to transfer files over wifi at more than double of my download speed? What is the bottleneck in this case? Would overclocking the router help to achieve higher download speeds at higher range?
Hope I made this understandable
