Hi joe_intel,
I know 5G is more susceptible to objects and walls but when both adapters 5100 and 7260 are in 5G N-mode,
So 5G band 40 Mhz not ac mode on router Asus Rt-Ac68u, when i test the connection speed with the HP Dv7 (intel 5100 adapter) i get speeds around 9Mb/sec
When i do the same test with the new Asus N750jk (intel 7260ac) on the exact same spot, the speed reduces by half so around 4-5 Mb/sec.
Is this because the 7260ac adapter is not sensitive enough or maybe a faulty one?
What i do find very strange, on the 2.4G band it's just the opposite, the 5100 doesn't get past 9Mb/sec whereas the 7260ac is doing 14 Mb/sec.
Any Idea?
