Using a wired configuration I can achieve maximum internet connection speeds for my plan: 36Mbps download.
When I use WIFI my upload speed seems to be OK but my download speed is reduced to 15Mbps or so. The drop in speed isn’t always exactly the same. Some days i can get 20Mbps but this is still way short of 36Mbps.
I have disconnected and switched off all other devices other than my laptop and this makes no difference. This includes the phone.
I have set both the router and network card to channel 11 and checked this is the best channel using “inSSIDer Home”. There are no other networks close by crossing into the band I am using. I have also adjusted MTU and other configurable options but none of them lift the speed anywhere close to 36Mbps.
The drop in speed is not based on the time of day, I have tested this.
Even bringing my laptop to within less than 1m of the router the speed is still capped.
Right now at the time of this post i am getting: Download: 13.95Mbps / Upload: 3.05Mbps.
I have unplugged the router, rebooted it, gone through the guides here and a nubmer of others on google but still can't get the speed to match my talk talk plan.
Any ideas?
Thanks
