Hi,
I have an Asus N750JK notebook and replaced the default wifi adapter (Qualcomm Atheros) with the Intel 7260AC+BT.
This is done because i like to have the AC speed for wifi.
My Router is the Asus RT-Ac68U (firmware: 3.0.0.4.376.1663= latest)
I have installed the latest drivers for the card 17.1.0
Now in practice:
Because I noticed the slow wireless speed i did some testing:
Both notebooks placed on the same spot, tests in succession.
Speed test done with file transfert to Nas. Wired speed to nas is approx 100 mb/sec.
laptop | Hp DV7 | Asus N750 | |
Wifi | intel 5100 | Intel 7260ac | |
Router Asus rt-ac68u (firmware: 3.0.0.4.376.1663) | |||
2.4 ghz | |||
Init connection speed | 300 mbps | 300 mbps | |
| 160 mbps | 240 mbps | |
| 5 mb/sec | 6 mb/sec | |
| 9 mb/sec | 14 mb/sec | |
5ghz | |||
Init connection speed | 300 mbps | 867 mbps | |
| 120-150 mbps | 65-175 mbps | |
| 4 mb/sec | 3 mb/sec | |
| 9 mb/sec | 5 mb/sec | |
| na | 8 mb/sec | |
ping | <10 ms | 40-90 ms | |
We can clearly see the slow AC performance here.
On 2.4g transfer speed is approx 14mb/sec on 5g max performance on 80Mhz is around 8Mb/sec.
This is almost half the speed of the 2.4g speed.
I've also changed some adapter settings, but no real difference.
Do i have a faulty adapter or is it something else?
