Speed Issues

[4ftersh0ck]

Hi guys,

I have a really strange issue. I have just upgraded my fibre line to 100/50. If I plug in a physical cable to the router I get the right speeds on speedtest. If I connect to 5GHz channel (cellphone) then I get similar speeds. If I connect on 2.4GHz or powerline adapters (gigabit), I get speeds of between 30MB/s and 60MB/s.

How do I get around this? I was thinking of upgrading my internal wifi card on my laptop (Acer) but this looks like a real mission. I am renting so I don't really want to run cables through the house. Any other ideas? I can't get faster powerline adapters than gigabit.

the air is filthy

i try and hardline everything
helps with latency as well

Show me how you are hard lining your phone?

It’s the modern world, only need physical cabling for the backbone.

Powerline adaptors pretty much never ever get their quoted speeds.

Presumably this 2.4ghz SSID is on the same Access Point doing 5Ghz? And not linked behind these EoP devices?

Either way 2.4ghz at full bore perfect link so 300mbit which would only give you 37.5 MB/s in real terms.

And not even that in the real world. So things sound about right.


Just use the 5ghz is you absolutely must have that much bandwidth but odds are you rarely do.

I do not see any issue here - you are getting expected speeds.
don't ever look at the theoretical maximum speeds of anything especially powerline adapters - those things are awesome but factor in a few things in your actual home wiring that can and will affect it and those max speeds start to drop

Yes, I have Vodacom Fiber. There are 2 SSID's when I scan on my phone, SSID and SSID-5G. The Powerline adapters are straight Netgear gigabit adapters with a single LAN port in each.

I probably don't need the full speed, but it would be nice to see 12.5 MB/s in FDM

Thanks bud, how did you do the cabling...through the ceiling or under the floor?

i live alone, it hangs everywhere, i went for the khayelitsha theme camp and dont care
