250Mbit / s line but only 3Mbit / s arrive via WLAN?

I got my new DSL line with 250Mbit / s download and 40Mbit / s upload about 3 hours ago and previously had a 50Mbit / s download, 5Mbit / s upload.

Now to the problem: All my devices have a download of approx. 40 - 45 Mbit / s with the old 50s line and upload was 3.5Mbit / s.

With the new line it is so that all devices connected by LAN cable reach about 190Mbit / s which I'm also very pleased and I also know that no 250Mbit / s arrive here but all devices connected via WLAN now have a download from 25Mbit / s to 30Mbit / s even worse than before. However, the upload is at 30Mbit / s for the WLAN devices.

Can someone possibly explain to me how I can increase this speed even with WLAN devices.

By Wi-Fi I mean, for example: laptop, game consoles, cell phones.

You would have to use a different Wi-Fi standard, e.g. Use 802.11n. This must then support both your router and your end devices - which even today only a few can do. Please refer:

A new router too?

Fl

First of all delete the existing WLAN connection on each device.

Then you search for the new Wi-Fi network and re-establish the connection.

So set everything up again.

The easiest way is via the WPS function.

Yes I got the router Fritz.box 7530 from the internet provider because my old one (Fritz.Box 7590) would not support the fast internet

Ba

I have already done that, however, is also not possible

Ba

Even customer service has no idea

Fl

I have Fritz Box 7590 with the latest device, what should not support it please?

I have a VDSL with a 250,000 line, and I get 292,000 at the top. And Wi-Fi works great!

With WLAN 2.4GHz the standard is 802.11n + g
and with WLAN 5GHz the standard is 802.11n + ac

Wi

The limiting factor is your Wi-Fi. Either your devices only support the old standards so that they agree on them or there are various interference and damping factors that make higher speeds impossible.

We all have cell phones Iphone 11 and Samsung galaxy S10. Our laptop is a Lenovo P51 and the game console is a PS4 that would surprise me if they don't support such a fast internet

ki

And what does your router and what your end devices support?

Ba

Where do I see that?

ki

Read the data sheet of the devices, manual, from the manufacturer.

Fl

Do you have Wi-Fi amplifier or DLAN in the house?

Wi

If it is not the devices then there are faults, about many other W-Lan devices in the area with sparking, but also reflection of the radio signal. In addition damping e.g. Through solid walls and ceilings, but also simply by distance.

I guess you got something mixed up.

The 7590 is better than the 7530, or they talked you into something.

Check out the comparison here:

Yes, I just noticed that I reconnected the old router, which also says "Support for high-end Wi-Fi" on the packaging and now everything is going well.

Ma

You see, go!

So

The 7530 is the "little brother" of the 7590. Less functions, for less money. The first point of contact for the support hotlines are usually not experts, they filter out until they are passed on to the expensive expert.

WLAN receivers in your Smart TVs, smartphones, laptops and game consoles also have limits in terms of data rate.

There's:

the ancient g-standard 54 MBit / s gross (1 antenna = 1 stream)

n-standard 2.4 GHz 150 Mbit / s gross (1 antenna = 1 stream)

n-Standard 2.4 GHz 300 Mbit / s gross (2 antennas = 2 streams) (very common)

n-Standard 2.4 GHz 450 Mbit / s gross (3 antennas = 3 streams) … Etc.

ac standard 5 GHz 433 MBit / s gross (1 antenna = 1 stream)

ac standard 5 GHz 866 MBit / s gross (2 antennas = 2 streams)

ac standard 5 GHz 1300 Mbit / s gross (3 antennas = 3 streams) … Etc.

You notice ac standard is 3 times faster than n standard! However, the range at 5 GHz is smaller for technical reasons (unfortunately).

These are all gross data rates, but net (are the user data) can only be achieved with optimal reception strength, i.e. Directly at the router. Approx. Expect 50% of gross.

Further away it is less, and sometimes less streams.
WLAN devices that hardly need a high data rate (smartphones, also smart TVs) have max. 2 antennas, i.e. Max. 2 streams.

Check the properties of the connected WLAN devices in your FritzBox, there are the number of WLAN streams used for sending and receiving.

1x1 means 1 stream in the sending direction 1 stream in the receiving direction.

2x2 means 2 streams in the sending direction 2 streams in the receiving direction.

3x3 etc. I don't have to explain anymore, you can imagine.

If you can calculate now, I assume you can do the max. Calculate the achievable speed of your devices.

Typical is 1x1 in the n-standard: 50% of 150 is approx. 70 Mbit / s, with somewhat poor reception, this quickly becomes only half, i.e. 35 Mbit / s.

Do you want and need high data rates with a WLAN device then use the ac standard at 5 GHz. You have a dual-band router, so both at the same time.

Now you will be able to understand and evaluate your achievable data rates well.

PS:

If you want to specifically connect devices with ac 5 GHz only, you can set different SSIDs in the router (google after that, is often explained).
