Dear Experts
I am on ADSL max speed provided by telcomm is 25 Mbps yes 25,,,,,you can increase speed by paying more,,,,this is the issue
I have my Linksys router ACS1900 V2 connected , this router has two bands 2.4 and 5 both are configured.
(distance test in the same room where router located) I did test when I connect only one device my iphone 6 or Samsung Galaxy S7 mobiles to 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz speed of 2.4 is 1/3 of 5. 2.4 Ghz showing speed 6 Mbps while 5 GHz showing 18 Mbps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,why ?
I am pretty sure both mobiles have wireless of n standard or height right ? means they can handle average speed way more that ADSL speed which is 25 Mbps
(distance test in the same room where router located) I did the same test on my cousin house which he has cable internet speed up to 100 Mbps not ADSL technology , still 2.4Ghz is 1/3 of 5 Ghz,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2.4 Ghz showing speed 30 Mbps while 5 GHz showing 80 Mbps
To my understanding average speed for 2.4 Ghz on wireless n standard should be height than 25 Mbps right ?
Thanks
Linksys router 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz vs internet speed
2.4GHz Wireless N uses 150Mbps per stream. This means, if your wireless client has one stream capability, this will be the theoretical maximum in both directions. In addition, many routers are set in 802.11b/g compatibility mode that limits the 2.4GHz speed to 54Mbps (again, both upstream and downstream, not counting all overhead). DSL also has ~20% overhead btw.
If you combine all that, you may see where it slows down quite a bit from the actual specs. Still, 6-7Mbps is much lower than it is capable of. Maybe interference from other networks or sources of EMI, this is very often the culprit with 2.4GHz. There is only room for three non-overlapping 20MHz channels, and there are many people using 40MHz channels, so every device/network stomps over each other.
The 5GHz spectrum is not as crowded, has many more and wider channels, and doesn't suffer many of these limitations, it is better for short distances.
