Wireless upload speeds

Hardware Hub Other Hardware
1

Hello all

I currently have a problem such that my new (~2 months) wireless card TP Link TL-WDN4800 only ever has up to 16Mbps upload speed and 50Mbps download speed (the ping is fine ~11ms). I am from the UK and my internet provider is BT under the service plan of "infinity 2" which has unlimited* data and promises download speeds of 65Mbps and uplaod speeds of 20Mbps.

My reason for concern is that my Android phone and tablet both achieve upload speeds of 20Mbps whilst further away from my router than my desktop (and also report a lower connection value in dBm than my desktop). Windows reports a connection speed of 144Mbps to my router (BT Home Hub 3) and is connected on the least congested channel via n. Does anybody have any tips/solutions to my problem or have any idea of the cause?


I am using W7 64 bit on my SSD, latest TP-Link drivers, router is up to date, more than capable machine (see profile).

My phone is a Samsung galaxy SIII running Perseus alpha 35 kernel and Null_21 rom

My tablet is a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 running Baked#8 with HumberOS kernel.

if any more details are required, please ask.

Regards

Jack

If you are using dual band it could be messing something up idk how just a thought...

Nope, only at 2.4GHz
 Anything else?

it's not very large a difference, don't worry. but maybe try a driver reinstall

That is perfectly fine, Note BT state that with their service plans that the speed is "up to X-Mb".

Take note of what the services plans are in future.

But that doesnt explain why both my phone and tablet get the advertised speeds.
 Any idea why they get better speeds?

Lol dude in Australia we'd be lucky to get 2mbs upload

One last bump before I let this thread die!

Check the drivers for the PCI card, as if it's reporting a 144Mbps link that is "Draft-N" speeds, which is not right considering that card supports dual band N which should run between 300-450Mbps.

If you can, check the power and noise of the wifi signal

Well, after a clean install of windows and all relevant drivers, i am still only getting my 15Mbps upload.
I guess i shall just live with it. 

Many regards to those who answered
