first of all, this is my router:http://www.tp-link.in/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C20.html , it says that on the website that the 5GHz band has 433 mbps wireless speeds, so I tried wireless LAN file sharing but I get a max speed of 100mbps or somewhere around 9MB/S, am I not supposed to be getting at least 30MB/S? thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Well I suppose you could buy one of those expensive tri-band routers. You could put each pc on a different wireless radio. Still the router is only 1/2 the issue the nic cards in the end devices can be the bottle neck.

so you mean even 25MB/s is not even possible? even if i minus it by half?

I meant wireless, not wired

 
You will get even less if you did wireless-wireless. The 2 wireless machines do not directly transfer data the traffic must go though the radio on the router.

If you transfer wired to wired you might get the 100mbit/sec. The wireless speeds are a huge lie. In addition to 1/2 the bandwidth the are stating rates you get it your pc is sitting next to the router and has absolutely no interference of any kind.
