I had around only 5 MB/s (and jumping up and down a lot) when copying files over wlan. On the Windows side, you can use Netspot or Acrylic WiFi. You can use Mac's Wireless diagnostics to see all the radios that your adapter can see. There does not seem to be many other devices in the 2.4G channels close by. On 2.4G, you are getting better speeds than 802.11g (54Mbps) which is a good sign. Is the server TCP or UDP? One suggestion is to look at the Wireshark packets when you transfer files over WLAN on 2.4G and see the average packet size and the protocol used and check if iPerf shows similar throughput. The default for iPerf should be 64-byte packets. So as it seems both WLANs should be faster than my WAN connection (80/20 Mbit/s). If you are concerned about your WLAN, Wireshark is the best tool to look at the radio frames and check if there are any RF issues. Once you verify the internal network speeds and throughput to your router and do not see any packet drop issues, or latency, you can go one step further and go to a public iPerf server ( ) and run the same tests.Ģ.4G and 5G will differ in speeds on your local LAN. If you have Windows machine, there is a iPerf server for Windows. You can measure your internal network performance by using iPerf ( ) and setting up a client on your Mac and a server on another Mac. This measure end-to-end speed from the client to the server crossing WLAN, Gateway and intermediate public servers. So 80 Megabit download (5 GHz) and 30 Megabit (2.4 GHz) are the results from there. This is good to know.įile copy tests are with a 2 GB file from a Samba Share on a NAS (can send via LAN up to 880 Megabit/s). This eliminates any OS/Driver specific issues, since they have different drivers. Yes, it is exactly the same behavior in Windows an OS X.
BROADCOM 802.11AC DRIVER INSTALL
W7/W8.1 drivers can be downloaded from Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support, and these support W7/W8.1 as noted in the System Requirements for each specific Mac model's download.īC6 drivers can be download using BC Assistant as follows. There are two separate sets of drivers - BC5 - W7/W8.1, and BC6 - W10. So should I really use the older drivers? Why does Apple use bad/broken Win 8 drivers? Or aren't they for Windows 10? The Windows 8 drivers are the newer ones, but in 5 GHz band I get with windows 8 drivers only around 30 MB/s throughput and with Windows 7 drivers I get 50 MB/s. As I am running Windows 10, I think I should use Windows 8 drivers, correct?
BROADCOM 802.11AC DRIVER MAC OS
I created a new Bootcamp install stick under Mac OS and now I can find Windows 8 and Windos 7 drivers on the USB Stick. Please see the following two links to manage specific driver updates.
BROADCOM 802.11AC DRIVER UPDATE
Is it possible to disable the Windows Update only for certain devices? I don't think so, or?
