OR, your network card is only Merryworks This person is a verified professional. MHunt This person is a verified professional. Sometimes when a slower device connects, it drags down everyone else's connection speed. Then if you haven't already, try disconnecting and reattaching the antennas. A weak antenna connection can cause poor throughput. I've found that the best way to connect them is to do it before inserting the card into the slot, because that way you can put your index finger on the underside of the card beneath the antenna connector, and then use your thumb to "pinch" the antenna onto the connector.

What Protocol and Band is your system connecting with? In general you'll get best throughput if you're on If you're still stuck, what router do you have, just out of curiosity? If you have an old router that offers Mbps only by allowing 40 MHz channels in 2. Some WiFi devices won't use 40 MHz channels on 2.

That would make you a bad neighbor in environments that have other WiFi networks around, and in many cases it can actually result in worse real-world throughput anyway, both of which are why some WiFi clients won't use 40 MHz in 2. Out of curiosity, what router are you using? Thanks for the quick response, I did get the AC model, full model is And I have already tried re-seating card and reconnecting antennas making certain they were clicked all the way in - made no difference. And not getting intermittent signal, quality shows steady full green bars and never drops below the Protocol shows Interesting, I actually had that model router long ago until I decided to get a 5 GHz router since at the time I lived in an apartment building, and there were too many 2.

The 5 GHz band has many more non-overlapping channels available to reduce interference between nearby WiFi networks, so you'll usually get better performance for the reduced interference alone, on top of the fact that But back to your issue, the fact that your WiFi card is only connecting at In terms of a fix, since it sounds like you're already running the latest drivers for the WiFi card, you may want to check for updated router firmware in case the version you're running might have some issue that affects the specific combination of that router and the However, given the age of that router, I also wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been getting firmware updates for a while now already, in which case this could end up being an issue that won't get fixed.

But if you're not already on the latest release, you may as well try updating; you never know. Search titles only. Search Advanced search…. New posts. Search forums. Log in. Install the app. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

Thread starter herbert42 Start date Jun 26, PS: im really sorry if this is double posted LAN is mbps or mbps. Operating mode on the is set to both 2. Is this one of those lowest common denominator affairs, i. Doesn't seem right given that I remain in 54Mbps even when the PS3 is powered down.

I have multiple flavors of "n" in both 5GHz and non-5 flavors, seems I should be getting better throughput that this. Message 1 of Labels: AC R Me too. Re: Only 54Mbps? Message 2 of Message 3 of Mars Mug. Message 4 of Yes, it was on. Other ideas? Message 5 of Message 6 of In addition to wpa2 you have to use AES to get N speeds. TKIP will lock you down at G speeds.

Message 7 of AES is and was selected. As to a speed test app the only one I have on iOS is internet based; it maxes out my inet connection but that's of course significantly lower than what even "g" is capable of. Anyone know of a speed test app that works via local area network? Message 8 of I've now attached inSSIDer as well and it shows maximum connect speeds at and as band appropriate on the adapter I used to scan however Genie is still stating 54Mbps.
