Hello, this isn't an issue at all, just more of a question of how.
So, today, I just got my new Linksys AE1000 (I know, it's a bit of an older model), after switching out my previous Linksys N-Adapter.
I have a Verizon Modem/router GT704WG,
According to my Modem/Router Specs, it's only supposed to top 55Mbps within the distance the N-Adapter is. But according to a network check, (decided to look at it after an entire 8 min youtube vid was fully loaded in seconds) my N-Adapter is recieving 210Mbps. And I have no idea where the boost is coming from.
didn't even exist until I fully installed the N-Adapter. My PS3 is also surfing the web faster as well (in the same room as the laptop I'm on right now w/ the new adapter)
Going over the AE1000s specs, there is no mention of it actually being designed to boost a wireless signal.
Again, this isn't a complaint at all, not one bit, I'm just curious if I get another AE1000, will that boost the signal as well? And would this be a permanent change so long as the device is working?
My previous N-Adapter maxed at receiving 47 Mbps. Now the new one is receiving 210 Mbps from a Wirelessmode/router that should only be putting out 55 at the most.
Any tips one could use to identify the source of a boost in signal? I have never, so far, in my experience working a SOHO have I ever seen this before.
Any of you Network Techs/Administrators able to make heads or tails? If you need more info, just let me know.
