Can anyone help me to understand the difference please?
I have just bought a Netgear router. It's feeding wifi to many devices but the ones in question are two computers with 5Ghz adapters. The router is placed in a black glassed open unit under a tv.
The first pc is located downstairs and the adapter properties are stating 520mbps link speed on average. The second pc is located upstairs with a 866mbps reading. I have a 200mbps line and have tested the speed online which results in both computers getting the full 200mbps.
So am I to ignore the link speed reading as long as I am getting the full internet speed?
Does the link speed have any correlation to the internet speed so in other words, as long as I am getting more than a 200mbps link speed then it should be fine?
Should I also move the router away from the tv unit and place it so that the antennas have nothing over them?
Thank you in advance.
