Your gateway has two 5GHz radios. Are both Radios enabled? As a test, turn off the 'lower' 5GHz band.
What is the wireless modes setting?
What is the bandwidth setting?
Is 'Smart Connect' enabled?
What is the brand/model of your Wireless router/gateway?
Can you test with a narrower (than 80 MHz) channel? Try 20 or 40 MHz. Do you have a second Mac? If yes, we can check the over-the-air 802.11 frames.
There is a newer version - https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=broadcom%20101.10.152.4 .
Also, see wifi throuput in bootcamp is cut to aroun… - Apple Community as an example.
So I went ahead and updated my driver to the one you listed with the same results. :(
I read the thread you posted. Here is my current connection output:
I've got one wall between me and my router. My Mac OS connection is >400 Mbps.
Thanks
Good morning Loner T,
I have deactivated the lower 5GHz band radio. This made no difference. Smart Connect is not enabled.
Here are my wireless settings:
Thank you for helping with this. I'm not sure what is causing Win10 to do this, but not Mac OS.
I tested with 20 and 40 MHz. Neither of these produced the desired results. I do have a second MAC, but it's not necessary to check any further.
I found the issue -
Under Protected Management Frames - I had to disable that.
Once I did, my Speed Tests improved to expected.
Thanks
101.10.152.3 - The version that accompanies the Windows Support file.
Excellent! Not all clients support 802.11w well.
What is the current Wireless driver version?
