Hi all,
So, recently I purchased a dual-band wireless dongle to replace my old Wi-Fi card. I downloaded the software etc., and tested it on my PC. The speeds were awful, maximum 1mb/s down, but strangely, I'll get around 7 mb/s up. My download/upload speeds are normally far higher than that, so I figured it was a problem with my PC rather than my connection. I then decided to test the exact same dongle on my laptop, which reached 35mb/s down and about 10mb/s up. They were tested at the same range from the router, so it is nothing to do with distance. I have hard reset the router and changed channel, neither of which have helped. Any help on my issue would be greatly appreciated as I am seriously confused by it.
Wireless dongle - Asus WN-160N
Thanks
