killeraxemannic Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I recently got the 7260 for my laptop. After testing it with iperf I get 139Mbits/s throughput with excellent signal strength connected at 866 Mbps on my Netgear Nighthawk r7000. This seems pretty bad as the N450 card built into my asus desktop gets 150Mbits/s and my friends brand new Macbook pro gets 232Mbits/s connected at 1Gig in the same test. I have messed with the settings and made sure that throughput enhancement and VHT are enabled but that didn't seem to make any difference. What gives? Is the 7260 just this slow? Is there a faster card I can get for my laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo_Geek Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have several 7260's and have seen the issue you are describing on some HP client boxes, but never on my own beast of a tower, which runs one as a backup. I would double check your advanced adapter property settings and make sure ARP Offload is disabled, you are running straight N and have the N beam preference set to an actual number like 20 or 40Hz instead of on auto. Also, those results will fluctuate some and there is a <10% variance between the first two, negligible in my humble opinion, but then again, I about hyperventilated with excitement over the crazy thought of 56k dial up speeds when it was introduced, so perhaps I am easy to please.
