In the real world, thanks to channel contention, you probably won’t get more than two or three 160MHz channels, so the max speed comes down to somewhere between 1.7Gbps and 2.5Gbps. [–]nickichi84 -2 points-1 points0 points 11 months ago (8 children), WiFi is half duplex meaning at best you can only get 50% of the speed, [–]EduardoTheSmarto[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (6 children). Sister Built House, ISP Says they don't serve the area! My recommendation: tp-link EAP225For the PC I recommend scrapping the Wi-Fi card and going with powerline adaptors. Maybe try AX? Download speed isn't working correctly. But the technology has a lot of potential to deliver speeds that could match fiber, especially with the emergence of 5G. I've tested the speed directly from the modem and am getting the full 500 so the router is the problem. In contrast a pfSense box on a modern i3 can do your full 1 Gbps in OpenVPN. Your wired speeds are also about right given your current router. Read honest … MoCA adapters are great if you need to push that speed to an access point in areas with weak wifi coverage. Without throwing them under the bus, I just think they are heavily misinformed about how WiFi works. [–]michrech 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (5 children). So should I find a router capable of 2Gbps? There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
