I just got myself a new router - TP-Link TL-WR1043ND.
The old one was just some cheap model that the ISP gave me.
It worked pretty consistently with something like
11MB/s wired and 5MB/s wireless.
The new one, was supposed to be faster(being a gigabit/300Mbps one).
The wired part works fine(whizzing at a comfortable 70+ MB/s).
The wireless part however is slower than even the old router - at a measly 2MB/s.
What gives?
Can you guys help me?
All config is the same as before. Old router still works as fine as it did before(meaning faster than the new over wireless), so it's not like there are external factors(i.e. interference or the like).
Test methodology - share a drive and copy a file over, while monitoring with a metering app, that attaches directly to the NIC.
