Hello computer forum, I just recently bought a new router and a new wireless adapter

ROUTER: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122378

ADAPTER:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704053&Tpk=TP link tlwn822n

I bought both of these items with hopes to achieve 300mbps however I am only at a solid 130mbps I logged into my router and updated the firmware as well as bumped the 2.4GHz mode up to 300mbps and I'm still at 130mbps and the router is on the other side of the wall. Does anybody have any idea on how to get 300mbps? like the adapter/router says? i've looked all over the web even called the customer services lines and they didn't help at all.
 
How fast is your internet speed? That 300 mbps is only for when transferring between systems attached to your network. If thats what you are wanting then it could be because you have electronic interference in the home somewhere.

That and while some adapters say 300Mbps, they are really 150Mbps per channel (upload/download) meaning that they can actually only do 150Mbps either way. Better adapters maybe have more upload or download channels, or ones that can actually do 300Mbps each way.

As John said, your actual speed from the internet is limited to what you get from your ISP, and the internet in general. Also note that for local transfers, to get 300Mpbs, you need hard disks or storage that can read/write that fast.

If you're after stability, I suggest using ethernet cable. Unless you have an internet service faster than 100Mbps, it will get you better results than wireless, both for reliability, and latencies.
 
Just to throw this into the equation, different brands of networking devices, especially ones implementing 300Mb/s transfer rates, can often use different techniques of channel bonding to accomplish this speed.

You have devices from 2 different brands, so you may find that they both use different ways to channel bond, which could be incompatible with each other.

This is your most likely cause,

I have a Huawei Router & a Netget Wireless N 150 adapter, neither use channel bonding, so I get my full 150Mb/s, which is stated in my connection status.

You're likely to have channel bonding problems, limiting your connection to 150Mb max, then taking away some for interference.

You then have to take into account overhead, which can be up to 50%, and also do your MB/Mb calculation, (/8)

You should expect to accomplish a real world transfer speed of around 8MB/s inside your internal network.

EDIT: Also, Windows will usually display your connection speed as your combined up&down channels.

300Mbps is the combined up and down speeds. So 130Mbps isnt too bad. Why would you need much more??

You don't have separate download and upload speeds on a LAN, you can transfer data either way up to 300Mbps (theoretically).
