This means no other WiFis on the same band using the same channel(s) in range, no walls or other objects between access point and client, no signal echoes and so on.ĥ GHz WiFi has a shorter range and worse penetration through objects than 2.4 GHz so even though both devices are able to use the 5 GHz band they might use the 2.4 GHz band.Īs far as I found the TP-Link Deco M5 system has a raw data rate of 400 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbit/s on 5 GHz (it is advertised as "1300 Mbit/s" since those two data rates can be used simultaneously, but not by one client, instead there has to be one client on 2.4 GHz band and one client on 5 GHz band, both with ideal conditions).

"Shared medium" means that at any given time only one transmitter can transmit so all other transmitters have to wait for an available slot to transmit.Īdditionally, the advertised data rate of WiFi is always raw data rate where some of it is used for error correction plus those data rates are only achievable under ideal condition. Well, WiFi is a "shared medium" which means whatever WiFi is in the vicinity and uses the same band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) as well as channel (1 through 13 for 2.4 GHz, 36 through 128 for 5 GHz, some of the channels are overlapping as well) will at least slightly lower the available bandwidth, depending on how heavily all of the WiFis are used.

Is that speed about what I should be getting? I'm getting 188/144 Mbps up/down now, compared to the 14/16 I was getting with the USB wi-fi, so that's cool.Ī follow-up for anyone who might still be reading. It's the MSI Z170A M5 for anyone keeping score. It for sure doesn't have built-in wi-fi, though. In the midst of this upgrade, I got laid off so my work laptop didn't matter much and for some reason the thought of "my computer doesn't have gigabit" stuck with me and I bought an unnecessary PCI-e expansion card. My girlfriend's iMac for sure did support it, but my WORK laptop didn't. When we upgraded, I make sure our computers could take advantage of it. I realized I got my wires crossed when we first upgraded to gigabit fiber. Thankfully I didn't have to go through disabling COM ports, etc, having never done that you were right about the gigabit on the motherboard. I kept the USB 9-pin cable connected to the same motherboard connector, and left the card's USB-A port empty Somehow it made more sense to me when I built the computer, and couldn't wrap my brain around it this time. I went into the motherboard's manual, but honestly couldn't figure out of I was "overloading" the PCI lanes.

Unfortunately I tried a few different things, so i don't know what the silver bullet was. I've been having to use a USB wi-fi dongle that constantly just drops out on me so that I have to turn off wi-fi and turn it on again, and then every 5-6 times, that stops working and I have to unplug it, and plug it back in again. Ugh.why do networking components always seem to have such GARBAGE documentation?Īnyway, I've submitted tech support requests from Gigabyte and Intel, and haven't gotten a reply after 4 days, and pulling my hair out. Although.I have to assume this is just a cord for USB pass-through for the seemingly un-used USB port on the card itself?
Or.maybe the cord isn't plugged in to the right spot on the motherboard? It says to connect the "USB" cable to the "F-USB" connector on the motherboard, but I didn't have one, so I plugged it into the JUSB1 connector. I wonder.if maybe I have too many things plugged in to my motherboard's PCI-e slots? (video card, gigabit network card, and this wi-fi card (my motherboard doesn't support gigabit, nor did it have built in wi-fi) along with an M.2 drive) Is that a thing? I've tried un-installing and re-installing both Gigabyte's and Intel's drivers, i've tried restoring bios defaults (a suggestion I saw somewhere), many re-boots, to no avail.
