Did Someone want to know how to get better speed of your wifi router?

So, If you have internet connection speed problem with your wireless try with the following steps,

• Reset the wireless router by using the power switch on it or by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
• Place the wireless router in an ideal location. The higher it is, the better, but don't put it near metal objects.
• Get as close as possible to the router with whatever device you're trying to connect.
• Keep the router and your connecting device away from other electronics. You should especially keep away from phones, fax machines and microwaves. etc.,
• Adjust the WiFi antenna if it has one.
• Change the router's channel, especially if other wireless routers are nearby.

Following these steps would give you stable internet connection and also increased speed in connection. You can check your internet speed from ScanMySpeed.com before and after following these steps.

Your router can do 300mbs Like a car can go 150 miles / h. Your car almost never goes that fast. You router neither. The other side, the line to your provider is even more important. They sell up to ??? mb/s, but you never get that speed. Only in the best circumstances someone could come close, but as soon as more users are on line or in the same segment, the speed will drop.
I think if you use a 1 Gb/s ethernet cable, from the router to your computer you won't add much to the speed.
Even if you have more WiFi hotspots close to you, they can bring your speed down a little. So plenty reasons, why you can try to speed up your connection, but none will really work. At least not as drastic you could reach twice the speed you now have.

Sorry

Depends on the router. Many routers will never handle the alleged speeds you get from the cable or U-Verse as far as the wireless goes. And, the device you are using is more limited than the router. If you go to one of the broadband test sites and check your internet speed, that shows the speed of the modem. If you have an integrated modem and router, you would still not likely get the same speed throughput from the wireless side. 15 Meg's on wireless is pretty fast.

Try a better location closer to the Wireless Router or Access Point.
Wireless is affected by walls and metal ducting. Move to the same room and see if it works better.

So, If you have internet connection speed problem with your wireless try with the following steps,
1.)Reset the wireless router by using the power switch on it or by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
2.)Place the wireless router in an ideal location. The higher it is, the better, but don't put it near metal objects.
3.)Get as close as possible to the router with whatever device you're trying to connect.

6.)Change the router's channel, especially if other wireless routers are nearby.Following these steps would give you stable internet connection and also increased speed in connection. You can check your internet speed from ScanmySpeed.Com before and after following these steps.

Your throughput (speed) is limited by the speed of the service from your provider. Additionally, this speed is divided or shared with every device connected via network cable and devices that are connected wirelessly, too.

To make matters worse, while the wireless N standard provides a faster speed, it only does so at a closer distance. When further away from the router, you may actually get better speed by connecting to the G side of the router (assuming you have G enabled).

Proper router configuration is key. Make sure you haven't locked it down to a slow speed. Install additional wireless access points or upgrade antennas with those that offer higher gain to provide good coverage in your home / space. Locate the wireless routers and access points closest to the areas these drevices will likely be used. Avoid installing in basements, behind brick and concrete walls. Aluminum siding can thwart a signal pretty well, too. Unplug / replace cordless phones that run on 2.4GHz - they can rob bandwidth from your router in the form of interference. Select Ch 1, 6 or 11 for the least interference from other wireless devices as long as they are not already in use by someone close by. Protect your WiFi by NOT broadcasting your SSID and be sure to lock it down with WPA or WPA2 security and a password that does not appear in the dictionary. This will help keep others from stealing your WiFi bandwidth.

All of these suggestions will either increase your throughput / speed or provide additional security and prevent others from stealing your bandwidth. I hope they help!

a great post and funny to read about snagging wifi.
lots of kids make a dish at school and use wifi from large distances.
so you are home right,. not in the library , right, and now expect the Libraries wifi to be fast at home , that far away,.
well it will never be fast ever. like that.
if you have a router that is 2 bands, there is no better routers.
the library only runs 2 bands I bet or even just 1.
so why not buy your own internet service,
or rig up this.
https://mods-n-hacks.gadgethacks.com/how-to/make-satellite-dish-wi-fi-antenna-for-free-internet-291730/


you can use a colander from moms kitchen
https://img1.etsystatic.com/202/0/5319571/il_570xN.1372655963_8crn.jpg


or other dish shaped objects to make this dish..
they need to be focused. and pointed to the library to work.
even card board, cut to a dish and aluminum foil works,

all this is fun stuff,
but never reliable.
at night they can have there router go off, on a timer.

The speed depends only on the wireless chip, its antenna , all in relation with the router's chip - some are more sensible than others so differences in performance even higher that what you have are pretty normal Actually some chips can be incompatible with some routers so you're lucky, you still get some traffic.

sbg6580 or what? you failed to use real model.


first off wired Ethernet is always faster.WAN (and the web actual)
say wifi not wireless there are many wireless and wifi is but 1.
there are 2 speeds, raw and real (throughput) latter is real.
and is bits per second not BYTES.
The 802.11a and 802.11g networks usually run no faster than 20 Mbps..
the answer is simple
one or both wifi devices is slow
either or both.
the speed will based on the slowest one, called band width bottle-necking.. just like driving a car really , traffic and narrow roads are slower. or are gravel roads, see?
so buy new wifi upgrades wifi 5 or 6, , 802.11AC or AX
yours is old and slow
and more money always buys faster cars or better roads or wifi.
speed costs and is not free.
read here first
but gee upgrades are the answer. but no hardware told yet

now just the modem/router your SB
Wi-Fi N300 2.4Ghz + N300 5GHz Dual Band Router. The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B, Revision G, and Revision N
so if he PC is not N or is not dual bad it can not do N speeds
or is B or G speed now)
100 Mbps is max speed on "N" 11N
and must be close to the router and both bands enabled on both ends and no huge traffic on those bands in your home or IOT there or in the hood (crowded apartments omg bad)
your router is not junk, but most old PCs are unless upgraded.
and lots of IOT things are 1 band and slow.
no brink or concrete walls from PC to router.
wifi is radio and does not link dense obstruction LINE OF SIGHT.
