Hi all,
I live in a student dormitory. The internet speed in my room is 10Mbps however next to the door and passageway it hits 200Mbps. The distance is only few meters !
I am suspecting I might be connected to a distant router?! For example, l am in my room now and the internet speed on my phone is hitting 200Mbps which is 20Mbps on my PC.
What can I do in this case? Thanks all !
Is there an option for 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
5ghz is faster however 2.4ghz is more consistent when you’re further away from the router.
Just a thought.
Just for the sake of clarity, 5ghz isn’t any faster in and of itself, its just a much less “busy” frequency. You are correct that 2.4ghz can travel further due to being a lower frequency, but it isn’t inherently slower, there is just a lot of traffic on that frequency in densely populated areas, which can have an adverse effect on your speed.
