Nbn Download Speed Ranges From 50mbps To 400mbps ^NEW^
Tamsyn Gradney
As to your 400 mbps download speeds, Rokus are not equipped to handle speeds anywhere near that, as they are not needed for streaming commercial video. 10-15 is sufficient for any HD stream you're likely to encounter from an online streaming source. 4K may require 25 or so. The more headroom you have over this allows you to stream or download more things at once before you start to tax the system.
I can't speak to speed, but I know of at least one weird issue specifically regarding apple products and Sophos AP. Our XG displays clients on our guest network being assigned an ip address from our internal LAN network. This only happens with iphones and ipads. when I check the client, it has the proper ip address and is humming along on the wireless.
a quick update: my reseller is on a technical advisory board with Sophos. After returning from one of the board meetings, he indicated wireless speed was one of the primary concerns that was discussed often amongst the various members of the advisory board. I would think this would be a good point of opportunity for Sophos, to solve the throughput issues as well as expand the management opportunities surrounding the wireless AP products.
I have Centurylink gigabit internet service to my house. I have my Orbi directly connected to my provided ONT. My pc which is connected by ethernet to my Orbi shows between 800Mbps and 900Mbps on the Ookla speedtest. Doing an speed test on my Orbi shows only a speed of 400Mbps download and around 200Mbps upload. My wifi speeds vary between 350mbps to 120mbps when I repeat a test at the same location. Is this normal? Is my satelite too close to my main Orbi?
Sorry for asking, I've just set up my Orbi after switching from Google Wifi and I'm still within the 15 day return window. So far I really like what the Orbi does, just want to make sure I have expected speeds for gigabit internet.
My phone is 2 feet away from the Orbi Router, is connected to it on the 5Ghz channel but speed test was an abismal 42Mbps download and 42Mbps upload. Connected Lan speed test resulted in 786Mbps down and 187Mbps up. Seems really weird that wifi is so slow right next to router.
This doesn't explain why upload speeds are abysmal when in router mode and only improve in AP mode. Getting 300-400mbps downloads for a gigabit connection is normal but 20-30 mpbs uploads for the same connection is not. This bug needs to be fixed. It's only when I use AP mode and turn off the routing that I get 400mbps for both downloads AND uploads. The post marked as the solution is not correct.
- When performing a speed test hardwired directly from the router to a MacBook Pro, I am seeing speeds close to 900mbps. The cable I used was fairly long and I'm not sure if it is cat5e or cat6, so this might be the reason for the drop off for hardwired.
It seems to me that the router is the actual issue, since I am getting tested speeds from the modem to the router between 1.3gbps and 1.4gbps. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
An Altice spokesperson said that the new upload speeds "are in-line with other ISPs and aligned with the industry." At first blush, there's some truth to that. Optimum Online, the company's entry-level cable internet plan, currently features 35Mbps upload speed. Uploads with comparable cable internet plans from major providers such as Cox, Spectrum and Xfinity all range from just 5-10Mbps. None of those providers offer upload speeds of 35Mbps unless you subscribe to a top-tier plan with gigabit download speeds.
A lot of that depends on resolution and camera though too. Like the C100 always impressed me with its imagine given it was only what, 24mbps? On the GH5 I could probably find a scenario where I could break it, but I've never had any problems when filming 100mbps in 4K, which would be about 50mbps in h.265 like the OP is using. The only time these days that I really notice mushy or blocky video is when given footage from action cameras and some phones to edit.
Although there's a debate over how much internet speed the average home customer needs, it's clear that ISPs benefit from your desire for faster internet speed. The ISPs can also provide some insight into how much speed you really need by listing how many devices can connect to the network at any given time.
Even if your ISP is delivering the speeds you want, the number of devices simultaneously connecting to your network could give you some trouble that could ultimately slow down your connection. With everything from laptops and smartphones to TVs and connected appliances relying on a steady stream of data, it's easy to underestimate your needs.
The good news is that internet speeds are improving. A study from the popular internet speed-testing company Ookla found that the average download speed increased by 19.6% for fixed home broadband connections between 2019 and 2020.
The potential speeds promised by 5G are an incredible jump forward, with download speeds ranging from from 150 Mbps to more than 1 Gbps in some tests. That's an enormous improvement over 4G, which ranges from 30-60 Mbps. That's also fast enough that you could conceivably use a 5G connection to meet all of your home internet needs instead of traditional wired broadband.
Download speed refers to how many megabits of data per second it takes to download data from a server in the form of images, videos, text, files and audio to your device. Activities such as listening to music on Spotify, downloading large files or streaming videos on Netflix all require you to download data.
Internet speeds are measured by how much data your internet connection can transfer per second, which is megabits of data per second (Mbps). The internet speeds you see in Mbps measure the rate at which a provider delivers internet data to and from your home (commonly referred to as download speed).
Hi,
Until now, I had little problem when using Powerline adaptors. Minor disconnects were the only problems. my 50mbps download speed as well as my 10mbps upload has been pretty much stable. But now I have upgraded the connection to 150Mbps and my Powerlines are out of breath. Cannot squeeze our more than 80Mpbs of the through the powerline no matter what I do (latest firmware, change of socks and cable, resetting switching adapters between).
Yet, when I look on the TP-Link tool it claims my Powerline rate is capable anything bettween 300-400Mbps which is rather confusing.
Now, you might be asking - what about other devices on the network? Well, that is the thing anything else which is connected via WiFi just speeds up like formula 1 from 0 straight to 150 and somethime 160 including mobile phones and old laptop. When I insert WiFi dongle into my PC it is the same. So the only device that lags in speed is sadly the Powerline adaptor.
The only aspect where powerline is faster is the upload speed which is advertised at 10mbps, but anything on wifi struggles to go beyond 3mbps, whilst powerline can muster about anything between 3-7 (again very unstable on each measurement).
Do you think I need to upgrade to pass through version or is there possibly another fix? I've have been always using main socket (with two sockets) on both ends. The other socket has extension cable with couple appliances connected to it (lamp, speakers, laptop charger, phone charger), but that was never a problem before.
Also noticed in adapter status that my Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller seems to be capped on 100mbps. I have even changed cables to 5e to ensure higher speed, alas the network adapter confg still says 100mbps.
Cheers

TpPLC Utility shows the real powerline rate between the powerline units which is different from the actual speed test, please check this FAQ for details: Explanation about the Powerline Rate and Actual speed of the Powerline Adapters

I went to and found the closest T-Mobile 5g tower was about 3.25 miles away. Luckily, my house is in one of the highest areas of the city and my 2nd floor bedroom window faces the nearest towers with a fairly unobstructed path to them. I drilled some holes and ran an ethernet cable down to the living room router. At this point, the gateway was sitting just far back enough from my bedroom window to avoid direct sunlight and had a pretty clear path to the closest tower. The display showed 4 bars consistently. However, the speed and connectivity issues persisted.
