Q: Are new wifi cards faster?
Hello all,
I recently bought the cheapest compatible WiFi card for my Mac Pro (BCM94321MC). After it arrived, I noticed that speeds were very slow and unacceptable at ~5MBS. Even my trusty iPhone 5 can get better speeds!
I was just wondering if I would benefit from getting a better WiFi card for my Mac would improve my WiFi speeds. I'm not sure why the Wifi is so slow, is it a bad location that I have my mac or maybe the Wifi card? I'm looking to buy the BCM94322MC but am open to suggestions for any compatible card.
Channel: 9 (2.4GHz, 20MHz)
RSSI: -69 dBm
Noise: -86 dBm
Tx Rate: 5Mbps
PHY Mode: 802.11n
MCS Index: 0
Thanks all.
