slow speed with new e4200

Hello all

Looking for some help with my new router.
I am unable to get quality download speeds and wondering if anyone can help.

I have Cisco e4200 and have been running on the 5GHz band and 2.4.
I get only 2400kbs +- 200 at any given time. When running off hard wire to the router I get 3600kbs downloads.... Quite a difference.
I know wireless is slightly slower but off the provided Comcast router my friend down the street I can get 3600 on wireless and hard wired there... Same internet speeds but his crappy router faster wireless?

 

Please provide more info on your wireless setup. What wireless card do you have, what are the router settings concerning Wi-Fi, make a scan using inSSIDer to check which channels are free or relatively free.

 

Thanks for reply.
I am running Killer N 1103
Running inSSIDer, no idea what I am looking for but I am the only 5GHz channel it detects. RSSI line is all the way on top at .45 and channel 36 + 40 and there are no other 36 channels being read

My router setting are (wireless settings)...
Network Mode: Mixed (A + N)
WPA2/WPA mixed
Channel Width 20 or 40 MHz
Channel Auto
SSID broadcast enabled

All factory settings and I haven't changed anything

 

OK.

Test the following:

Network Mode: Wireless N only
Security: WPA2 Personal

The rest is OK.

 

Tested:
Same result. Pulled 3200 kbps on wired connection and the wireless starts off increasing in speed... hits 2800 or so then goes down to 2468 like on the dot.

Will mess with 20 and 40 hz and possibly Wireless A? I am about 8 feet away from the router during these tests with nothing in between.

 

Wireless A would be a lot slower.
What you want is "n" with 40MHz channel.

Can you verify these speeds with another Wi-Fi card and E4200?
Problem may be also driver or setting-related on 1103's end.

EDIT: 2400kbs or 2400KB/s? (as in bits or bytes)

EDIT 2: According to Windows you are connected to the router at what speed?
