    Poor Range and Performance with Intel Wireless AC 7260

    I have tested with both default settings and non-default settings as listed below: The original Toshiba laptop I returned, but I bought another Lenovo Edge 15 which has Wireless AC 3160. I no longer have the laptop on hand because I gifted it to friend. With 3160, the friend indicate same...

    Poor Range and Performance with Intel Wireless AC 7260

    No. I am testing with speed with www.speedtest.net and comparing with another laptop that is a non Intel Wireless AC. The performance of the wireless card should be independent of the type of router. No consumer should be expected to configure the router to optimize the wireless card, since...

    Wireless speed dropoff with Intel AC7260 Wireless Card.

    Intel Wireless-AC is crap. Just piece of crap. I bought two different laptops, one with Wireless-AC 7260 and one with Wireless-AC 3160. Sitting in front of the router gives me full 30+ Mbps when tested at www.speedtest.net When going to a different room, speed drops sharply below 3Mbps. One room...

    Poor Range and Performance with Intel Wireless AC 7260

    @jegesq I returned the laptop to Best Buy, so I can no longer provide the details you asked. @azazel1024 @jegesq I bought another laptop, Lenovo Edge 15, which as Intel Wireless AC 3160. Same issue: poor range, poor performance when not in the same room as the router, and...

    Poor Range and Performance with Intel Wireless AC 7260

    I own a Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W. It has Intel Wireless AC 7260 2x2 card. I have noticed myself and have read on multiple forums that people have been having issues with the wifi being slow with that laptop. When sitting right next to the router, speed is great, but when going a little far...

    Frequent Conntection Issues

    My router, and all other electronics are connected to a surge protector. The surge protector is fairly old, at-least 7 years, however, the "Surge" light is still on, thus indicating it is protecting. I recall there being a lightning strike 1-2 months ago near my building, it even knocked the...

    Frequent Conntection Issues

    What does it mean for the AC adapter to go soft? Is there a way to check if the AC adapter is bad without trying to find a new one?

    Frequent Conntection Issues

    I have a Linksys E1200 router. I frequently have connection issues. By connection issues, I mean that all of a sudden, my internet stops working even though I am connected to the wifi network. Or I often notice that my smartphone are not connected to the wifi network and when I try to...

    Router Setup Page Slow on Wifi for Asus RT-AC66R

    I disabled my Antivirus/Firewall of ESET Smart Security. This issue still is not resolved. In my office, I have another router, Linksys E1200. I noticed I have the same issue with that router.

    Router Setup Page Slow on Wifi for Asus RT-AC66R

    I don't think this is the solution... I did further investigation and found out that I don't have an issue like this with my other devices (iPhone, iPad, old laptop). I have the slow loading /unresponsive config page on only my main laptop. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this...

    I reset all my browser cookies, cache, history, everything... It still didn't fix the issue... Yea internet browsing is fast... I did a speedtest and I am getting 35Mbps+ as expected... I haven't tested the LAN speeds between other computers... however, as of right now, the only concern I have...

    Router Setup Page Slow on Wifi for Asus RT-AC66R

    I just bought a brand new Asus RT-AC66R router. I was playing around with the router setup page and noticed that when connected through wifi the router setup page is very slow/unresponsive... I connected my laptop to the router directly with Ethernet and this issue was gone... I updated...

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    @azazel1024 @thiggins @KGB7 Thank you very much for great explanations and support. After reading your replies, and the whitepaper I posted, I completely understand why I am achieving slow throughput, and what needs to be done to increase the throughput. On a different note, I have few other...

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    Sorry, I wasn't using InSSIDer. I was using WifiInfoView. The signal I reported was signal quality in percentage, not dBm. Sorry I did fail to mention there are were clients on Channel 3 to 11 however, I thought they didn't matter. Looks like even if I had 2x2, I can't utilize 40Mhz mode...

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    Other than installing DD-WRT, I don't think there is another way to force the router to use 40 MHz. I have another router, Linksys E1200, even that router doesn't allow me to force 40 Mhz, it only allows me to select Auto (20/40). I am connected to Channel 1. Near by, there exist only one...

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    In my laptop, the Broadcom wirelness driver has options that I can change such as "20/40 Mhz Coexistance" or "40 Mhz intolerant", etc... Would changing any of these make a difference? Right now "Coexistance" is set to Auto and the Intolerane is set to "disable". My router won't let me select...

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    I already tried all those settings... It didn't make a difference or it resulted in lower throughput.

    Very slow throughput/rate on Wirelness N

    I have a laptop with wireless N, and I am only able to achieve speed of ~ 5MB/s up/down. I have my desktop (w/ gigabit Ethernet) connected to the router directly. My laptop is connected to the router through wireless. I used NetStress to benchmark, and I was only able to get around ~5 MB/s...
