Hello =)
I really need your help !
I just bought a wifi N card for my laptop, as I read that it could solve speed issues with the MBL.
I had previously a 2.5 MBytes/s transfer rate, and now a 5MBytes/s. Better but still bad 
Here is my configuration :
My router :
Belkin N+ Router F5D8236-4
UPnP enabled
My laptop :
WiFi Intel(R) 5300 AGN
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
MBL wired to the router with the native ethernet cable, and wifi connexion to the win7 laptop.
If I check the state of the wifi connexion, it gives me a speed of 144Mbps.
Can you help me to improv** e all this ? Did I bought a wrong card ?**
Thank you so much for your help ! =)
Is that 5 megaBITS per second, or megaBYTES per second?
No worries.
That’s actually not too bad, really.
5 MegaBYTES =~ 45-55 megaBITS per second (including “overhead”) which, if your “associated rate” is ~144, isn’t bad at all.
Keep in mind that what Winderz reports in the connection status is the “Associated Data Rate,” and should *never* be assumed to be an indication what kind of throughput you should expect.
Sitting right across the room from my 300mbit 802.11n box (and with a 300mbit/sec associated data rate) I can usually get no faster than 10-12 megabytes per second through the WiFi network.
Thank you for your answer !
I thought it was possible to reach 30MB/s even with WIFI, but I guess I was wrong.
In your opinion, how can I get a 300mbit 802.11n connexion as yours ? The N range is not universal ? Because I already bought a N wifi minicard for my laptop expecting to have the highest transfer rate…
Thank you again 
It’s possible to get 30MBs or so, but all the conditions have to be PERFECT. Like laboratory conditions “perfect.”
No, N is not “universal” by any stretch. But to even have a hope, your WiFi box must support 40MHz channel spacing, and not have any interference from other sources on the same frequency.
I’m only getting 1.5 MBps using a TPLINK R470+ load balancing router.
Any thoughts?

That’s not a WiFi device at all. :laughing:
