Archer T3U Plus and USB 2.0 Speeds expected?
Hi,
My unit is an Archer T3U Plus, however this website would not allow me in enter the "plus." I have Hw V1.6. Unknown software.
I have forced my unit to 802.11ac (5GHz mode). I dont have any control of the T-Mobile routers channel. Its not mine and I cant touch it.
My question is, if USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, why should I need USB 3.0?
I get on:
speedtest, I get 50-95 Mbps
google's, speedtest, I get 20-80 Mbps
speed of me, I get, I get 20-38 Mbps
What is most likely the cause of the less than 300 Mbps or so (the value I expect)?
I have windows 7 pro (its up to date and still supported by MS). Samsung EVO SSD on SATA-3.0.
I do have a StarTech 54mm PC card Express, with two USB 3.0. I've sent it to my computer friend, because it requires bootable DOS, to update the units firmware (its acting flaky, known software fixable issues), and that's beyond my expertise.
My Laptop PC is a Lenovo T500, T9600 2.8 GHz core-2 Duo (this PC is faster than my works Win10 PC). Its not possible to upgrade it to Win11Pro, no drivers.
