Only 173.3 Mbps on 5Ghz between Archer C80 and Intel Wireless-AC 7265NGW
As the title says, when I look at the Wifi status, the speed only shows 173.3 Mbps, even though in theory both devices should be able to connect with each other at significantly higher speed.
Transfering big files the speed tops at 16.6 MB/s. (SSD to HDD NAS and vice versa)
Location: Indonesia
Wifi router: TP-Link Archer C80
Wifi adapter: Intel Wireless-AC 7265NGW (max 867 Mbps @ 5Ghz)
The router is new, fresh out of the box. Updated the firmware to the latest version. The adapter driver also updated to the latest version.
The router and the laptop only a meter apart, no barrier whatsoever.
I've tried a few suggested tips, like using 80Mhz for the channel width and trying some of the available channel, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. At the moment I set both to auto.
I plan to transfer big files between the laptop and NAS, so getting as close to the maximum speed as possible is important.
Anyone has encountered the same problem and solve the mystery?
Thanks in advance..
