This answer seeks to focus on how to improve things in simple terms. Tl dr: Your MBP's networking hardware is nearly 10x faster than your HP's, so you're getting the speeds your hardware is capable answer is correct. So the fact that your MBP is seeing the full speed you're paying for from Verizon sounds about right. TCP/IP over standard Ethernet is 94.3% efficient, so you're seeing the max throughput that 100Mbps Ethernet can provide.Įvery MacBook since 2013 supports 2-3 stream 802.11ac with 80MHz wide channels, meaning throughput up to 600Mbps under good conditions. If a laptop design is so old/cheap as to use a super cheap wireless card like that, I wouldn't be surprised if it went with a cheap 10/100 Ethernet instead of gigabit-capable Ethernet. This combination of only being capable of a single stream of N-style modulation on a 20MHz-wide channel means its top signaling rate is 72.2, which after protocol overhead means throughput of up to only 50Mbps under ideal conditions. SISO, not MIMO), and it supports Bluetooth so it probably signals 40MHz-intolerance on Wi-Fi to leave more room in the 2.4GHz band for Wi-Fi to work. Your HP notebook's Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz-only adapter is only a 1x1 (i.e. Thanks in advance.Īs far as I can tell, you're getting the speeds your hardware is capable of. Is there anything that I can do to increase the speed on my PC upto the speed of Mac as I do most of my work on PC only. So as you can tell that the speed difference is almost 10 times between my PC wifi and Mac. Mac - The download/upload speed is 298.63/224.08 Mbps ping being 3ms. Same Laptop as above, Wi-fi status atĬontrol Panel> Network and internet> Network Connections says the speed at 100 Mbps. Wi-fi status atĬontrol Panel> Network and internet> Network Connections says the speed at 72.2 Mbps.Įthernet on PC - The download/upload speed is 94.78/93.71 Mbps ping being 5ms. My Laptop is a HP Notebook with Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn Wifi adapter, it works only on the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Wifi on PC - The download/upload speed is 33.45/27.35 Mbps ping being 11ms. I tried to check my internet connection by website. If someone can help me get educated on this I'll be forever grateful.)

My ISP is FIOS by Verizon with a 200Mbps plan(Not sure if it's Megabytes per sec or megabits per sec. So I have a PC with Windows 10 and a MacBook Pro.
