how much practical speed can 300 mbps wifi adapter 2.4 ghz give?

220VoltsallCore

Expect it to cap out somewhere between 150-250 mbps. Approximately 18-31 megabytes/s. USB wifi adapters are notoriously fickle and their speed depends heavily on the strength of the WiFi signal at your computer.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a very simmilar model, I get about 40-60mbit with same room as the wifi ap.

 

Its a 1x1 client

 

And its 150mbit unless you have 40mhz wide channels, and thats very unliekly and a bad idea for 2.4ghz.

 

So 40-60mbit on a 150mbit phy, esp when there is probably interference in most areas

im using a TP-link USB Wifi dongle (diff model), i get about ~45Mbit

 

and it overheats if you use sustained load of 25Mbps or higher for a certain time, and your connection drops

only way to recover is to unplug and plug it back in.

 

this happens on my other USB wifi dongle too tho, so it's not a TP-Link issue

one of the three wifi dongle i have burnt out (just died)

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
