TP-Link W8960N WIFI issue

[djrudyn]

I have just purchased a new TP Link W8960N route because of the 300Mbps over the wifi so I could stream my HD movies.
I managed to set everything up the WIFI is working however I cannot get the speed up to 300Mbps.
Still having issues streaming my HD movies.
I checked on the TP-Link website and enabled all the settings ( http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?articleid=349 )
but still cannot get it to 300Mbps.
Can anyone help me??

300Mbps is the theoretical maximum. In practice, its much lower. You should be able to get around 10MBps (80Mbps) which should be more than enough for streaming HD video.

Does your Computer or Laptop have compatible Wireless N capability?

It won't do squat if your Router supports it and the devices connecting to it don't.

When you are connect to your wifi it should tell you at what speed its connected at. The further you are away from the router, the less the speed will become as well . I have the same router, its quite nice!

I checked it now on my PC and I am getting 130Mbps.
So if what you guys are telling me is correct, then I need to check my media player out.
It does have an n wifi dongle, when I stream a movie over 6gigs, it stutters & breaks up, then plays then the same thing keeps going on thru the movie, is there any settings on my pc that i need to adjust, I am streaming the movie from a shared folder on my pc which is connected to the router via the LAN port

I'd suggest setting the Router to Wireless N only and not B/G to make sure it's transmitting at maximum speed. The PC to the LAN port of the Router should be capable of high speed transfers, the Router may not be able to handle everything simultaneously though (max speed, but I'm not sure).

Hey thanks for the responce,
I did switch it to N only to make sure my device is connecting via WIFI N.
Will keep doing some testing, will feed back if I do find something.

Do HD movies 'over 6GB' play without stutter when they're on your local HDD? Maybe your computer's CPU/GPU is the bottleneck, and not the network? To be sure it's the Wifi and not the CPU/GPU/Media Player, connect both computers with ethernet and try streaming a large HD movie.
