    Hello everyone,

    I recently switched to internet (Fiber power 60 Mb / s) and TV with UPC. I got a Horizon set-top box that also functions as a router. I have a problem downloading uTorrent via wi-fi. My maximum speed is 1.1-1.2 MB / s. The situation changes when the computer is connected to the Horizon via a cable - the speed jumps to 7-10 MB / s depending on the seeds. I know that the speed on the cable will always be higher than on wi-fi, but it seems to me that maybe there is some limitation on the part of Horizon on Wi-Fi download? Possibly something in uTorrent settings need to change? The situation is strange, because when I start a new download, the speed spins to the aforementioned 1.2 MB / s max, then drops to e.g. 800 kB / s and increases again to 1.2 and so on.
    Maybe it's a port problem? I don't have a green arrow in uTorrent, but when it comes to ports, I'm completely green.
    What could be the reason for this? Someone help? :)

    best regards

    A piston in ether is confirmed by measurements.

    Maybe 5ghz is better, it should be checked with a computer with a 5ghz card.

    then why previously Vectra flashed differently, ie faster?
    Can you explain it to me somehow, but at the same time blatantly? :)

    Same computer?
    Maybe you had 5ghz WIFI?

    What model of WIFI card do you have?

    > faster
    does 1.5mbs mean instead of 1.2?

    the same computer

    network card - Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

    faster, i.e. 3-4 MB / s

    There had to be fewer other networks.

    Added after 1 [minutes]:

    Try to force a different WIFI channel in the router, e.g. 1, and then try another.

    I changed the channel and the speed increased to 2MB / s :)
    I will play with it a little longer and look for the optimal one.
    I wonder what Vectra worked on.
    thank you so much for help ;)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around optimizing Wi-Fi download speeds for uTorrent while using a UPC Horizon set-top box/router with a Fiber Power 60 Mbps internet connection. The user experiences significantly lower download speeds (1.1-1.2 MB/s) over Wi-Fi compared to wired connections (7-10 MB/s). Suggestions include scanning the Wi-Fi network for interference, changing the router's Wi-Fi channel, and considering the use of a 5 GHz band for better performance. The user reports an improvement to 2 MB/s after changing the channel and is encouraged to continue experimenting for optimal settings.
