How improve my WIFI connection?

[Pawelk198604]

I have 80 Mb/s download and 20 upload MB/s when i'm connected to cable(laptop) and 0.8 Mb/s and 15 Mb/s upload when i'm on WIFI (TP LINK WIFI router that should work at 100 Mb/s. I wonder why i have so low download speed yet the upload not changed that much. How improve WIFI speed?

At least TRY to make an effort before asking.

i picked a channel that wasnt being used at all and got my wifi performing quite well. if you are in a very noisy wifi environment, then chances are you will loose some throughput to everyone else using the same channels.

Do also be aware that WIFI channels overlap as well - generally 2 channels either side of the active channel will see interference, more if it's a 802.11n network, so if you see a network on ch6 for example, ideally you want to be on ch1 or ch11. Being on an adjacent channel won't be as bad as sharing the same channel, but it's still less than ideal, and is worth being aware of.

One can not understand, since my route (TP-LINK) was set to channel:auto it should itself change the frequency to the most optimal channel.

That shouldn't really matter much unless both wireless routers are in (very) close proximity to each other.

Probably it should, some will just choose a channel that's unoccupied, not necessarily the optimal one. Anyway, if it's working well enough for you, that's good enough, right?

Most times it's been a real issue comes when the client is located between the two AP's in my experience. Sometimes you're trying to stretch the coverage from the AP more than 20-30 feet meters and it becomes a real issue. Anyway, it's the kind of thing you might never need, but you might be glad you know it at some point.
