only getting 65mbps with WHR-HP-GN

[jongordo8]

I just bought a WHR-HP-GN and have it setup in N only mode.  I disabled the DHCP server (running it as an AP only) and have my HP elitebook with an Intel 5300 wireless card connected to it.  No matter where I am at (in the living room or 2 feet from the router) I am only able to get 65mbps with it.  It is rated as 150mbps so I am curious why I can only get that speed.  I connected it to my Toshiba LED LCD as well which has a wireless N card and it also connects at 65mbps.  Any ideas on what the deal is?

What encryption type are you using?

[jongordo8]

WPA2 AES

[Jotin]

try using wpa2 mixed mode with tkip+Aes mixed mode and then see how it works.

switched to WPA2 personal mixed and made sure TKIP +AES mixed mode was selected, still at 65mbps and I am sitting next to the router.

What firmware is the router running on and is whats the is the router set to 10 or 20mhz? And does the n speed adapter set to 20mhz as well?

[jongordo8]

DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std
(SVN revision 14998)

 

router is set to 20mhz....intel 5300 I put at auto and have tried it at 20mhz without any change.

I have the same problem using Asus UL30A laptop. No matter where I am, the connection speed is only 65mb. The router came 2 weeks ago, with the latest DDWRT firmware installed from the factory, same v24 version as on the Buffalo web site.

 

I have set the router to N-only, 20mhz, using WPA2 personal mixed, and channel 9 (least used channel in the neighborhood). Still only 65mb connection speed. Using Windows 7 ultimate.

same here, laptop is Levono W500, with intel 5100 AGN, always got 65mbps no matter how close/far away this router.

same problem here, I have two of them and both I can only connect at 65mbps

[jongordo8]

anyone have a solution to this issue...why are we only getting 65mpbs?

the whr-hp-gn is not mimo device.

 

e.g whr-hp-g300n = 2 transmit and 2 receive antennas, on 40mhz bandwidth that = 300mbps, and on 20mhz bandwidth = 150mbps.

 

he whr-hp-gn = single transmit or receive which means on 40mhz bandwidth you get 150mbps, and on 20mhz bandwith you get 65mbps.  whr-hp-gn is not 300mbps capable device, its 150 max.

It is possible that there is a wireless interference between the router and the laptop that you are using, FYI, too short distance can also affect the frequency of the wireless computer.

Hey, I found the answer so I am replying to my own thread...

 

I initially tried setting Wireless Network Mode to G & N, so Channel Width had Full/20mhz as the highest value, and I was getting 65mb on my N laptop.

 

Although I later changed Wireless Network Mode to N-only, I didn't know Channel Width had new possible values, so it was still on 20mhz, and I was still getting 65mb.

 

Just looking around today, I found that I can set Channel Width to Turbo/40mhz now that Wireless Network Mode is N-only. Once I applied this setting, my connection jumped to 150mb right away. :smileytongue:
