I was wondering if anyone else has faced this 'problem'. I just got the new advanced router from Verizon that supports my 75/75 speed plan. Wired i'm getting that speed.. sometimes even 80Mbps. My laptop has a 'g' wireless card so I went and got a (Panda Ultra Wireless N USB Adapter (150Mbps) - 802.11n 2.4GHz. The link speed on the utility is registering at 74Mbps. But when I test my speed here on the Verizon test, or a few other sites, i'm not able to get it above 45Mbps.. often it's lower than that. What confuses me is that the Verizon test is occuring at the same time i'm looking at the utility that tells me it's receiving at 74Mbps.. This adapter supports up to 150 so i'm confused. I even went as close to almost touching it to the antenna to rule out distance.. but then again.. the utility registers at the full speed... I just don't know why i'm paying for 75 wireless if I can't achieve it... or how to actually get that speed. Has anyone else had to use an adapter.. and if so were you able to get the accurate speed?
Thank You!!!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
