can somebody tell me the max wifi speed of the iPad2 (not iPad Air2)? I have a 200 mbps connection but I can only get about 30 mbps on my ipad.
iPad 2, iOS 8.3
The specs at iPad 2 - Technical Specifications show the following:
Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
You can do an internet search to see what the maximum theoretical speed for whichever of those your router is using.
Make sure that you're actually getting 200 Mbps. You can do that by connecting directly to the modem/router with an ethernet cable. Also be sure that both devices (modem/router and computer) ethernet port supports at least 1Gbps. If you're getting much higher speed over wired connection, check your router model and its capability.
The crazy thing is in theory I should be getting much higher speed on the ipad2, as my router (netgear 6300) had full wifi for all of those as well as ac. I am on a 5gb signal, and have tested 200+ speed at my terminal from the router on a physical connection. Gone through all of the tricks seen on the boards for optimizing the speed for wifi in my router settings, and the thing still tops out at 25-30 mbps.
The Netgear r6300 can handle the 200mbps with no issue supposedly but for whatever reason the ipad maxes out at 30 or so like clockwork. Tested at the connected desktop (to the netgear) and getting 200+ steadily.

Supposedly?
How about actually.
The netgear has the specs to handle my ISP's provided (and tested) speed, but limited throughput to the ipad.
you can measure it here
Will use the speedof.me test when I return to the house and am on my network. Currently using the Ookla app on the ipad to test, fyi.
