Router shows 100 Mbit but phones only get 30 – Wi-Fi is the culprit

Original: Die Box meldet 100 Mbit Sync – am Handy kommen nur ~30 an. Typischer Heimnetz-Klassiker: Leitung ok, WLAN bremst. Schnel

A common home-network problem is drawing attention: the router reports a full 100 Mbit sync rate, yet devices on Wi-Fi only receive around 30 Mbit. The advice circulating is simple – test with a LAN cable plugged directly into the router. If the full speed arrives there, the line and provider are fine, and the bottleneck is the Wi-Fi or a repeater rather than the internet connection itself.

Why now: Slow Wi-Fi despite a fast line is a widespread frustration, and the cable-test tip offers a quick way to pinpoint the cause.

• Die Box meldet 100 Mbit Sync – am Handy kommen nur ~30 an. Typischer Heimnetz-Klassiker: Leitung ok, WLAN bremst. Schneller Check: einmal per LAN-Kabel direkt an der Box messen. Kommt die gebuchte Rate dort an, liegt’s am WLAN oder am Repeater – nicht am Anbieter. # FritzBox #… · NetworkDoctorApp · 1
