I have a real problem with my wireless network. To my problem, I have extremely slow Wi-Fi on my notebook. Achieve a maximum of 60mbit / s in the download. Am with Vodafone under contract and should reach 200mbit / s. I know that Vodafone is often portrayed as very bad, only I'm sure it's not the problem here. Have in the same network once a test with a friend's Macbook made and have reached my full download rates. In addition, I tested both devices again in another network of Telekom with 250mbit / s. Again, the Macbook reaches full power, only the notebook stays below 70mbit / s. Also, I have already looked for all the drivers, explicitly that of the wireless card, but also without success. After all the attempts I just have the thought that it can be on the laptop. It's also not the point that I'm too far away from the router or something. On the cable, I create the full data rate, but I do not have the chance to use the LAN cable, because I was also assured of the contract to achieve full performance over the WLAN. I also tested a WLAN stick without success. The device is not that old, and should be 300mbit / s max. Create. Medion P7818. Does anyone have any idea what to try?
If your notebook opens easily, check the WLAN module, maybe the internal antenna, usually a wire, is not plugged in properly. Otherwise, I recommend you a powerful USB-WLAN adapter whose standard is also supported by your router.
By the way, with a n-standard external wireless adapter and an acces point from Linksys LPN300, I get the maximum gross transfer rate of 300 Mbps through a concrete floor. With integrated antennas, in my experience, the transmission is significantly lower.
Because I was assured in the contract so to achieve full performance over the WLAN
Certainly not, such an assurance does not exist with any provider.
WLAN does not have anything to do with the internet at first, it's a wireless connection within your network, the speed depends, among other things. From the WLAN adapter of the notebook, WLAN works also without Internet - the Provider has nothing to do with WLAN.
A net data rate of 60 MBit / s is a good value for standard WLAN adapters (one of them will be installed in your notebook).
So you can only try to use a very good USB Wi-Fi stick, e.g. With the ac protocol (but must also be able to use the wireless router).
In my view, there's nothing wrong with a download rate of 60 MBit / s.
The laptop is estimated to be about 6 years old, and supports the WLAN n standard (at 2.4 GHz).
In the n-standard with 1 antenna = 1 WLAN-Stream gross max. 150 MBit / s possible.
The data rates measured with Speedtest, on the other hand, are the net data rates (= user data), and this is about 50% of the gross in the n-standard under optimal conditions.
You get max. 70 Mbps, that means the laptop or the router has only 1 antenna for the n standard. Can you, for example, Look in the FritzBox, there's then devices Connected with… "1x1" n-standard.
There are the n-standard also with several antennas which are all used in parallel.
1x1 is gross 150 Mbps net only half ~ 75 Mbps.
2x2 is gross 300 Mbps net only half ~ 150 Mbps.
3x3, gross 450Mbps net is only half ~ 225Mbps.
Unfortunately, you have to put up with the fact that the older WLAN card in the laptop only with 1 (internal) antenna can no longer afford. If you do not have to make huge downloads, just streaming and surfing, that's fine.
If you want more data rate on the laptop, there's more modern WLAN in the ac standard with 5 GHz, then there are gross 433 MBit / s per antenna (= WLAN stream) possible. In the ac standard, the ratio between net / gross is also better.
First of all check if the router meets the ac standard and above all with how many antenna he max. Works in the ac standard.
The modern routers have dual-band WLAN, i. The send on both frequencies
n-standard with 2.4 GHz and ac standard with 5 GHz… Both WLANs with the same WLAN name (= SSID) and you see on the smartphone or devices only 1 WLAN, but there are 2 at the same time.
PS:
All WLAN hardware is given in the technical data always the gross data rate, so do not be disappointed if it is less net, that's normal.
Pay attention to the number of antennas, 433 MBit / s per antenna, which you want to use when buying ac-WLAN-Sticks. Therefore, there's also the staggering 433, 866 and 1300 MBit / s on the ac-WLAN sticks.
