Hello guys.

I just login to my unifi account today and notice that I'd been upgraded to 500mbps. So from my understanding (I'm very lame at all these technical and networking stuffs) in order to get the desired speed, my router and my adapter must be able to suppport the high speed right?

So here my router model. It is TPLink N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router model TL-WDR4300. I googled it specs and this shows up:

"Simultaneous 2.4GHz 300Mbps and 5GHz 450Mbps connections for 750Mbps of total available bandwidth"

Meaning maximum I will get from 5GHz is just 450Mbps right?

My adapter is DLink AC1200 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter  Model DWA-182 which I cross-checked with the 1st page and it says it support until 500Mbps.

Both my hardwares can support the turbo right?

But I still get the old speed on Testspeed. Download 50mbps and upload 100mbps. What else that I need to do?

Thanks

How about your BTU? support gigabit speed?
Have you change to Cat5e/Cat6 cable? (the cable connect from BTU to your router)

I think your router not good enough to fully utilize 500mbps by using WiFi. Maybe better advise is to change router.
Check 1st post green text.

Ok I forgot that part. the BTU is ONU-HUAWEI-HG8240w.

But still, even if you say my router is not good enough, I should at least get around 300-400 mbps right? My BTU support gigabit speed according to the first post.

I see, so I need to change to Cat5e/Cat6 cable right? Fromy my BTU to router.

Any great router to suggest?
