Windows 10: 1.3Gbps Wi-Fi connection but slow transfers

I have a 802.11ac modem and my computer gets a solid 1.3Gbps Wi-Fi connection. However when I transfer a test file the speed shows at 110 Mbps. When I connect an Ethernet cable I have a 1.0Gbps connection and when I transfer the same test file the speed shows 985 Mbps which is faster by almost a factor of 10. *Cool

Anyone have any idea why the Wi-Fi transfer is so slow? I am starting to think the modem I have has a processor that can't keep up the speed due to the Wi-Fi encryption.

Nokia 6555 to Belkin N1 Wireless Router?

It's not possible because the 6555 does not have wi-fi. To connect to a wi-fi router you need a phone that has built-in wi-fi.

Your only connectivity options for this model is bluetooth which is a bit slow or use a cable which will be fast.

The fastest and easiest way to transfer music is to use the memory card in a computers card reader. That way all you have to do is drag and drop your music files onto the memory card.

 

connect to internet from pc via windows phone 8 through usb cable.

I mean 'tether' it using USB cable rather than wi-fi.

Main Techy reason is maximum Data Transfer Rate. The Wi-fi on my laptop has maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps. This is probably perfectly adequate for a 3G connection. BUT with the advent of 4G the Wi-fi data transfer rate is too low hence the need
to tether using USB 2.0 Cable which has a max data transfer rate of 480 Mbps or or 60 MBps.

So if for example one is streaming Video on a 4G connection it really is necessary to be able to tether by USB cable rather than Wi-fi which has a lower data transfer rate.

Please advise whether MICROSOFT definitively intend to make the facility available to tether by usb cable (in addition to wi-fi) or not?


If not, please justify this in terms of data transfer rates for usb and wi-fi (and streaming HD video on a 4G connection). Thankyou.

 

Try changing channels. My 866 Mbps link speed gets 400 - 450 Mbps actual throughput.

 

I tried that but my throughput is still in the 200-300 Mbps range. I think it is my DLink modem, it is already a discontinued product. I wonder why. *Rolleyes

 

The first question that should have been asked. What are you paying for from your ISP and who is your ISP.

Just because your LAN speeds are that fast. Does not mean that you are going to see WAN to LAN speeds that fast.

 

My ISP has nothing to do with my ISP or WAN, I am transferring files from one computer to another. I am trying to figure out why a 1.3Gbps Wi-Fi connection has throughput of only 200-300 Mbps and it is not interference. I think the old discontinued 802.11AC router I have is just not able to keep up. I can't test that unless I get a new router.

 

When you are using Wireless AC, you are using multiple channla on the radio, which is your Access Point.

The ratings that the manufacturs go by is that they show what is called Burst rate. They are also supposed to show Sustained rate.

The reason that you get speeds at different rates, is how big or small that the data packet it, along wth Compression rate. You also have to factor in what your ISP is allowing you to have for your connection, is why we ask someone what the speeds are that they are paying for, who is their ISP, etc.

Just because your Gateway is no longer carried by D-Link does not mean anything. They can carry it with a new revision, which could include a better chipset, better NRAM, better heatsinks to help it to stay cooler, better channeling of data across the LAN on both hard wired and WiFi connections. Then there is the fact that they may have improved the LAN to WAN speed side, since that is a major factor.

You will never see Lab type readings in a home environment, because there is just way too much radio interference. In a lab they can control that with a Faraday cage, test equipment that is made to give them the results that the engineers wrote the spec's up on how it should work.

 

Thanks for the information. Guess I will roll out a long Ethernet cable when I want to do a backup or just move big files.

 

You can get better antennas for the card in your desktop. As for the router, you could set up a secondary Access Point to help with coverage, if it is a problem with being outside the sweet spot.
