You should be able to set your problem computer to wireless 'adhoc' mode to get it to act as an AP to test its signal strengths from your android with this analyzer. It will show the congestion in your area for both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz channels and other info.
#BROADCOM 802.11N NETWORK ADAPTER DISABLED FOR ANDROID#
I use this for Android -, it is free, works well and is easy to use. 802.11n may go from 54Mbps to 600Mbps, but that depends who else in the area is using 802.11n and how much interference there is and if your gear is capable of doing multiple spacial streams and 40MHz channel widths - which your settings indicate it should do 40MHz at least.Īlso, if you want to dig in to this the best bet is to get a WiFi analyzer. If you are connecting at 54Mbps (bits) that is the limit of 802.11a (and g for that matter), which should translate to around 6.6MBps (Bytes) - use this calculator for conversions between MBps and Mbps - as there is a difference which you are looking at. Looking at your settings it looks like AC might not actually be supported - are you sure your card can do AC? All that the settings list is 802.11a, b, g, n, not AC. What happens if you connect with a wired connection and do a speed test? That would help eliminate a software or configuration issue on the computer (like a virus, firewall overhead, OS setting like bandwidth throttling, older OS software updates, computer hardware limitations other than the NIC such as hard drive or memory bottlenecks etc).

If somebody could take a look at my Advanced Settings and give me some direction on what each setting should be. I've contacted Dell support but they're not really any help. On average I only get about 15 MBps download and 15 upload off of. I have a dell laptop with a Broadcom 802.11ac Network adapter.
