What does 500 500mbps internet actually mean? - Super User 500 mbps has nothing to do with the maximum number of connections (the number of connections would be determined by the specs of your router and will be a large number) The key bit is that the available bandwidth - 500mbps will be divided by the number of connections you have open
Does a mixed Powerline AV 500 and 200 network slow down the 500 nodes? The only impact of 200 Mbps adapters on a 500 Mbps network is that 200 Mbps adapters are blocking the shared medium power circuit longer than 500 Mbps adapters would do, thus traffic on 200 Mbps adapters takes longer than if 500 Mbps adapters where used This reduces the overall network performance a little bit
How is the ISP internet speed divided among devices on a LAN? You can end up with an appearance that the " ISP Internet speed " is somehow shared among the users It's just a numeric illusion because you're ignoring the fact that the "transfer speed" is a number that is an average
Speedtest shows fast connection but actual downloads are slow I'd say the server you're downloading from is the one responsible for the lower download speeds The 5 7 MB s is by no means slow, but Microsoft has a lot of people hitting their server (s) and they are trying to load balance the traffic, so they can server all customers equally It is very common that a lot of Internet servers, especially for larger sites, have download rate limiting enabled too The inSSID download may not be an extremely funded server like Microsoft has, so they only have
Ethernet and networking speeds as 500 Mbps Gigabit? the speed of other networking equipment Note that the so-called "200 Mbps" powerline devices often have 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, and are therefore limited to 100 Mbps in each direction (which could sneakily be called 200 Mbps, in half-duplex) This would also be the case for the non-Gigabit version you refer to
networking - Problems with speeds on Access point - Super User I am on the 500 Mbps down 125 Mbps up from my ISP (Fiber) I get the full speeds on my main router but seems I am only getting 100-200 on the AP if that Is there something I can check or possibly have something set up incorrectly? When the TP-Link was my main router, I was also seeing speeds of 500 Mbps so I know it is capable
Why is my wi-fi so much slower than expected? - Super User 0 My internet connection is gigabit AT T Fiber via an Arris BGW210-700 residential gateway (and its admin page shows that it does achieve 900 Mbps+) From there, an ethernet cable with "gigabit" stamped on it connects to a Netgear R6300, which claims: Up to 1300 Mbps wireless speeds achieved when connecting to other 802 11ac 1300 Mbps devices
lan - Understanding Powerline speed - Super User Remember those "Wireless-N 300" APs with only 100 Mbps Ethernet ports? Exactly the same situation here – the advertised 500 Mbps is only for the powerline side, and only under ideal conditions; it'll vary based on the number of Wi-Fi clients or HPAV adapters, as well as outside interference
