Netgear r6300 wifi router data transfer rate

Netgear R Product Features:. Click for larger image Netgear utilizes the new The gigabit speeds are created by utilizing the 5GHz band which gives routers 3 times the speed of the With the frequency range being at 5GHZ instead of 2.

The Of course both the client and the router need to support 5G Wi-Fi in order for your devices to work at 5G Wi-Fi speeds. Apparently NetGear help is slow to answer my query also. Message 4 of 6. Just to clarify, I'm using the D, here are my results. File transfers from my BlackArmor to my PC via 5ghz. Hopefully Netgear can shed some light on the issue. Message 5 of 6. Message 6 of 6.

Sorry for the slow response. I was out of town for a few days. I attempted to turn off WMM and unfortunately made no difference. I also went through randomly turning off and on just about every option I could find and nothing I attempted made any difference. I followed Minions08's advice and have created a support ticket. I'll give Netgear a few days to resolve this, but if it's not successful then I'm going to send this back as I unfortunately don't really have the time to be spending hours and hours and several weeks trying to get this to work.

It's a pain having to switch cables back and fourth. Thanks for the suggestions. Message 4 of Had my router yesterday and have already noticed the same behaviour.

I have BT Infinity and would consistently get 73mb in download tests, however with this router I get 68mb max which is fine but this will randomly drop to a crawl of mb for no apparent reason. Sometimes it will recover by itself, sometimes I will reboot it.

Also, copying files from my Mac wirelessly to a HDD attached to the router can change in estimated time from 7mins to 48mins for the same sized file - again for no apparent reason.

Im not going to jump to conclusions, maybe the router is learning, so I plan to leave the router running for a week or so and see if it settles down. If not I won't be fussing around with offshore callcentres etc, I'll return it for a refund and try an Asus or go back to my previous ageing but consistent router. Message 5 of If that does not help you could also click on the "Click here to see bandwidth utilization by device and application" at the bottom of the Dynamic QOS window or just to go the "Attached Devices" window and select the Bubble for the device you would like to edit and click on the "Edit" button and set that device to "HIGHEST" then "Apply" and see if that improves your performance.

If You Got Em I'll Chew Em! Message 6 of I don't have Dynamic QOS enabled. I have kept it simple and have any non AC devices connected to 2. Message 7 of Also I assume you have Internet Traffic Meter disabled? Message 8 of I didn't bother with Dynamic QoS as the router should perform the basics without needing it.

I did however do a pinhole reset and re-configured the router but the results are the same. Im sending the Nighthawk X4 back today for a full refund. Im really disappointed as I was looking forward to this being my router for the next few years. What kind of MIMO setup, e. I would like to see tear-down of routers to see the components for making a guess at longevity. This was a much better test setup, and a really interesting read.

Only complaint was that the nighthawk may have an unfair advantage in the interferance tests compared to the other units as it went up against the 66U instead of another nighthawk. Perhaps you could dig up a 5GHz N router to act as a standard interference device next time?

Or find a cheap AC router? It would make it a much better apples-to-apples comparison. At any rate, great article! I will certainly send this to my more tech-savvy friends who are looking to upgrade from N right now.

I have the 66U in my own home and this seems to be spot-on which what I experience relating to distance and obstructions.
