    Whats the true speed of the wifi?


    Ok this might be a noob question but I will ask. I understand for wifi there is 2.4 GHz & 5 Ghz. What confuses me is a router manufacturer will say "AC2300 WiFi - 600+1625 Mbps speeds".


    • is this saying if I hook up my laptop to wifi that it will have speeds of 1200mbps?
    • is it saying 600mpbs is the 2.4 Ghz stream and 1625 is the 5Ghz stream? If so, then technically I "CANNOT" connect to both 2.4 GHz & 5Ghz.

    If I connect my laptop, its either I connect to 2.4 (600) "OR" 5 Ghz (1625). It seems as if they are saying I will get 2300 but I dont think thats the case. Perhaps its just the total bandwidth of all devices connected. Then at that point them marketing AC2300 is pointless to me.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Abysmal wifi speed on Windows 10

    I've checked that drivers are up to date. I have 2 different wifi cards and 1 usb wifi adapter. I tried just about everything. Reception on other devices is fine, including a device located in the same spot as computer. It's strictly the computer after updating
    to Windows 10. My wifi speed starts fine but will quickly go down to about 0.1 to 2 mbps (instead of 15+) Nothing seems to fix this, other than a Network reset, after which speed is fine again but quickly degrades.

    I'm on Windows 10 Pro, v1709 Build 16299.371

    Summary:

    • No program is hogging the connection
    • Speed degrades on multiple wifi adapter simultaneously
    • Can only be fixed by a Network reset
    • Steadily degrades over time after a reset
    • No wifi problems on other devices, even in same location
    • Drivers up to date
    • Speed degrades to 0.1-2 mbps with short, temporary bursts to full speed
