I have a desk top hard wired with a cat5e cable to a router. A speed test consistently shows 500BM/s on the desk top and we have good speed on all the other hard wired computers in the house.
I have a TP Link single band access point, capable of 450 MB/s at 2.4 HGz ( acording the TP Link) . I have tried the access point on set to Auto and on 40Hz / Channels 1, 6 and 11 as TP link advise and checked it is set to ' Access Point' in the settings. but with the access point plugged into the same cable that provides 500MB/s to the desk top, I am getting between 7 MB/s and 25 MN/s via WI-Fi on a phone and 2 different lap tops. I could buy a dual band access point but don't know if the speed at 2.4GHz would be much better. Does anyone have any idea if a single band access point should give WI Fi speed of say 70MB/s + (which would be fine) given I know the cable is delivering 500MB on a hard wired machine. . If I buy a dual band access point, will it solvable the problem or are there set up or other issues i don't understand to get right first before buying another access points. Because this WI-FI speed is so slow in comparison to the hard wired , I am thinking there might be more to this than just buying anther access point.
Many thanks for any suggestions.
