I have a 5G Wireless network adaptor and am getting very low speeds when running the speedtest on my laptop.

PING ms
12
DOWNLOAD Mbps
14.24
UPLOAD Mbps
3.63

On my IPad I get:

PING ms
52
DOWNLOAD Mbps
69.54
UPLOAD Mbps
10.96

I am using the latest wireless drivers and have run Malwarebytes and it says there are no threats on my pc. Speed under Wi-fi status fluttuates between 14.4 - 65 Mbps. Any ideas?

Anything related to coverage is a number they are pulling out of their backside. You will not find any technical description of the testing methods they used to get the numbers.

The distance the signal goes is a function of the transmit power. That is regulated by the government and almost all routers transmit at the maximum legal power. This means the signal goes about the same for all devices.

In addition the end device is 1/2 the connection so even if you were to get some magic router that could send the signal farther the end device could not send it back. The house you place the router in makes far more difference. A house with concrete walls is going have much poorer coverage than a house that has a open floorplan.

There is nothing wrong with that route but again it is chasing bigger numbers. First it uses 4x4 on 5g which is very rare. Next is uses a non standard data encoding to get the 600 number on 2.5 rather than the more common 450. The 450 still requires 3x3 mimo.
ow for something crazy
