I recently bought and installed a TP-LINK TL-WN725N Wireless N usb network adapter for my desktop PC. I installed the latest drivers and went to test my download and upload speed. The results are bad. At first I was getting about 200 kB/s. But after some fiddling and moving the device to the front of my PC (and slightly closer to the router), I am getting speeds of about 900 kB/s, let's call it 1 MB/s.
Even at 1MB/s, I am still about 5 times slower than my laptop (5.2 MB/s), which I tested in the same room and location as my desktop. Upload speeds are about 4 times slower.
This is concerning, because I am about 25 feet from my router (between two closed doors, though even when both open, no noticeable difference) and my signal strength is excellent (5/5 bars most of the time, with slight fluctuations to 4/5 bars).
Any advice? The product packaging says it's good for speeds up to 150Mbps.
Thanks community.
