I've been trying to improve download performance on my PC. I have three options for connection: a) Wireless to an AP located about 35 feet away and through one wall b) Wireless to an AP located about 17 feet away, also through one wall and b) via ethernet. Both the AP's and the ethernet connection are supplied via Trendnet Powerline adapters. In terms of distance from the Gateway, AP A is furthest, AP B is closest and the Ethernet connection to the PC is just slightly further than AP B.
Here are my speed test results: AP A, 50 MBps; AP B 5 MBps and Ethernet, 5 MBps. The best connection by far is with the AP furthest from the PC and furthest from the Gateway. This seems wildly counterintuitive.
The APs are identically configured Almond devices (one is set to channel 7; the other to channel 5). How would I further test these configurations, what settings on the modem should I look at, etc. The very low performance seems odd since it is working gangbusters on AP A, but terribly when direct connected to the PC
