That Internet Speed Problem

I put a TP-LINK repeater on the other side of the wall from my office and even with the 150 NMbps USB wifi dongle (the new one has not arrived), I am getting 19-23 Mbps download speed.  (This is about half what other devices in the house are getting, but for the moment it is adequate.I am expecting arrival of a dual band ac1200 Mbps dongle this week so that I can return the 150 Mbps unit to the CNC Linux box.

    I would expect repeaters to give you less bandwidth.

    If you can, run CAT6 and put in another access point. I've got three in my home.

    There are Ethernet cables built into the walls, but whern the installers toned the one that goes from thc equipment closet to the end nearest where our cable eomes through the wall it seemed not connected.

    Silly question, but did you take the plate off and see if the wire is there? It may just need to be punched down onto the backplane

    Fidel: could you expand on "punched down on the backplane"?

    I've seen network cables that were not connected to the jacks in the wall...So, toning them out shows a dead line. Take the plate off, and see if the wires are actually connected to the back side of the plate?

    Also, I've seen some really shoddy wiring - wires spliced to others, instead of run all the way back to the wiring closet. That screws up two lines, and no good way to fix it.
