Click here to know more details about this question. There are many factors which will affect the network speed in the network path, such as ISP, interferences, server stability, surroundings and etc. The internet speed is mainly limited by the lowest speed in the network path.

Q5: Why do I only get 50Mbps download speed on a speed test tool, when the router says it is a 300Mbps device? A: 300 Mbps refers to the WLAN internal link speed between the router and the computer, it is different from the actual internet speed. If the router has 100mbps LAN ports, normally the local network link speed will show 100Mbps if the Ethernet Adapter and cable support 100Mbps. The wired local network link speed is limited by the capability of router’s LAN ports, the type of Ethernet cables and the Ethernet Adapter of the computer. Q4 : Why does my wired local network link speed on the computer show 100Mbps when the router says it is 300Mbps capable?Ī: 300Mbps refers to the maximum wireless link speed. In this example, 325Mbps means actual link speed, 1300Mbps means maximum link speed on 5GHz supported by our router.Ĭlick here to know more details about the link speed. Q3: The link speed (wireless) on the computer shows 325Mbps when the router says it is 1300Mbps capable on 5GHz, why the difference?Ī: Different wireless clients will negotiate different link speeds with the wireless router, based on the wireless modes, distance, and noise level (the level of interference from other wireless transmissions).

* Wireless connection – Physical or environmental interference, Hardware specifications of router and adapter, the number of antennas, etc.Ĭlick here to know how to check link speed.Ĭlick here to know more about the 802.11 theoretical wireless speed. * Wired connection – Ethernet Port type on the router and the adapter, and the type of Ethernet cable used. The signal link speed is different from the Internet speed.ĭifferent connection methods have different factors that affect the link speed: The wireless link speed is the internal WLAN connection speed between the computer/wireless client and the router. Q2: What does the Signal Rate in the device specifications mean?Ī: Signal Rate means the maximum wireless link speed the router can provide. * Due to network fluctuations and line disturbances in the actual speed measurement, we recommend performing multiple tests to obtain accurate results. You can try one of the most popular sites: or use its app to test the internet speed using your PC/smartphone. Q1: How do I know the actual internet speed of my connection?Ī: There are various speed-test tools online.
