I have a Dell Inspirion 5520 that has Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 built in.
Also I have a TP link TL-WR740N wireless router.
I have an 80Mbps/25MBps internet connection.
My Speedtest result with no router:
When I connect all these via an Ethernet cable, I get the maximum even through the router:
But when I try to do the same with WiFi I get 30/20 Maximum speed, and I'm sitting next to router!
I have this configuration:
router:
– Channel: auto
– Mode: 11n only
– Channel width: 40Mhz
– Max Tx rate: 150Mbps
– Enabled Wireless Router Radio
– Enabled SSID Broadcast
– Security: WPA- AES
– Beacon Interval : 100
– RTS Threshold: 2346
– Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
– DTIM Interval: 1
– Enabled WMM
– Enabled Short GI
Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230:
– 802.11n Channel width for band 2.4 : Auto
– 802.11n Mode: enabled
– Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g: 1
– Ad Hoc QoS Mode: WMM enabled
– Bluetooth(R) AMP: Enabled
– Fat Channel Intolerant: Disabled
– Mixed Mode Protection: CTS-to-self Enabled
– Roaming Aggressiveness: 3. Medium
– Transit power: 5. Highest
– Wireless Mode: 802.11b/g
I do get the fact that speed through wireless is slower than with wire, but losing 50Mbps is a bit too much!
