Windows 10: Asus AC 765 USB3 wifi adapter on 5GHZ -- speed OOKLA OFF the scale

Hi there

This wifi adapter seems to be an exceptionally good piece of kit

Getting off the scale OOKLA readings from nearly 200 metres from the router --I'm in the shed (avoiding doing the cooking tonight !!!)

ASUS AC 765 dual band wifi adapter

Had to logon to OOKLA in UK to get the test but it worked fine - remember this is via WIFI not LAN and at 200m from router the receiver was at probably the limit of passable reception. (For US people who were watching the Super bowl 200m is about 207 Yards / 620 feet or so in old Imperial units -- Queen Victoria got that a bit wrong though !!!! !!).

My standard built in Wifi card barely got anything even at 2.4GHZ and gave a pathetic result of around 1 Mib/s !!!

I switched off the Intel internal wifi card in the laptop and plugged the Asus one into a USB 3 port -- even with a USB3 hub and it still works brilliantly --you need though to screw the longer atenna in that comes with the product.

Recommend if you want to use 5GHZ band without repeaters etc and you are a long way from the router.

Of course there are faster speeds out there --but remember I'm in a Shed at least 200m from the router on 5GHZ and using Wifi.

Lumia 830 - Wifi 5gz problems

Hi, thanks for welcoming me and explaining that the wifi is turned off with the mobile data turned off.



I use ookla speedtest for messuring the speeds.

when i use the 2,4ghz i get a speed of 25Mb down and 8Mb uo. using speedtest works quickly

when i connect to the 5ghz band it takes a long time to connect via the speedtest app and other apps.

and when speedtest finaly gets thru i get a speed of 30 down and 20 up. Wich is the speed of my 4g lte bundle.

my upload cant exceed 9Mb via wifi(limit of my provider)



there are no limitations on using 5gh in my area, the 5ghz ssid is shown and can connect to it.. but it doenst use it and uses my 4g lte instead.. my router shows the connected device but dowsnt show any data flow from the lumia 839

 

Microsoft Lumia 950XL issue connecting to Wi-Fi

I have a 2day old 950xl that has the 5GHZ dropping issue.

I have 2 ASUS routers, one is AC one is N both have 5GHZ networks.

My Lumia 920 has no issues with 5ghz connections on the n router. (of course it couldnt connect to the ac one since it didnt have that wifi chip)

My 950xl (dual sim model) is able to see both routers 5ghz connections HOWEVER after some time or when i leave the range of the routers it is unable to then see the 5ghz ssids. The only way initially i found it would work was by turning my phone off and
back on. I since discovered that if i turn off sim1 the 5ghz network shows up. Turned sim1 back on and so far its still working on 5ghz. So it would appear this is something to do with the sim and wifi radios. Not sure what but microsoft needs to fix this
and now.

I also have two laptops that have AC capability and are running windows 10. Neither one has any issues connecting to either of my 5ghz networks. Nor do they drop the connection.

 

If I can ask, how much are you paying for that internet service? It's definitely my internet connect that limits my speed, not my 5.0 GHZ AC WiFi connection. I cap out about 56 Mbps.

I'm paying $70 US for mine per month with a very high data cap, though. About 56 British Pounds per month.
