[muglo] Re: Wi Fi -interesting speed differences.

Thanks Terry. I'm still pondering why the 5 ghz runs slower than the 2.4 ghz. The router is in my downstairs office and I ran the tests upstairs. Both on the same iMac. 

I wonder if the pwr output is lower at 5 ghz. I have a lot of 2.4 ghz devices running so one would think the 2.4 freq would have more interference hence less speed due to retransmits.

Still pondering...

Regards

Set up Airport Express on 5 MHz  Wpa2, then ran speedtest.net test. Got about 5 mbs download speed. Ran the test on the G 2.4 ghz freq and got over 15 mbs. I got similar results on G using a Dlink 2.4 ghz router.

No idea why the 5 ghz freq was much slower.

I though the N 5 ghz was supposed to be faster.

Any ideas?
