TCP/Network monitor VS Wireless monitor

[geek@02]

Hi!

In Resource manager (Windows 10), the TCP or Network monitor shows that I'm getting 100kpbs+ wifi speed. Though on Wifi data monitor, it only shows half or less speed than that. It's as though I'm receiving good data reception, but something is hindering the wifi data getting through to browsing and downloading. My downloading speed is very low. And nothing in the background downloading anything to slow my connection speed. This does not happen when I use my wireless dongle, which is a totally different data package. The problem occurs when I connect to a wifi hotspot via an wifi adapter.

Here are the monitors look like:





Anyone has an idea what's going on??

Thanks!

Are you measuring bandwidth or throughput?

Bandwidth is like how many lanes there are on your motorway.
Throughput is how many cars are actually using it at any moment.

You do know that Kbps is measuring bits per second, not bytes per second. You need to divide by 10 to get a rough idea of bytes per second.
That's like old-school dialup modem speeds from the 1980's.

What is at the other end of the wifi link?
How far away is it?
Are there any walls in the way?
How many people are trying to use it at the same time?
Your basic 802.11g link should be at 54Mbps.

The slowest link is usually the telco connection between you and your ISP.
You should figure out the speed of that link, ideally using a wired connection between your PC and your modem/router.
