    Hello,
    I have a network card in the Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC laptop
    I wanted to configure it in the 802.11n standard, but I do not have this option in the configuration. I have current drivers. Is it possible to enable this standard in a different way (regedit or something)?

    She is N.
    What is not working for you?

    I do not have the option of changing the card settings to the N standard, and thus the net speed at 120Mbps does not exceed 50Mbps.

    Show setting 801.11n channel width for 2.4GHz, HT mode.
    And also a link status screen, after right clicking on your WiFi network.

    Just because you have a 120mbps connection does not mean that you will have WiFi on your laptop.
    It depends on many factors.
    Router class, its settings, bandwidth clutter, signal strength and quality, card settings in the system ... More or less in this order.

    This card does not support MIMO. Therefore, the result of 50Mbps can be considered as sensational. In other words, the 11N mode works as it should.
    Description of the options that can be selected in the Wireless mode field often deviates from their actual function. Hardly anyone wants to improve it.

    As for the router itself, I have Horizon from UPC, the router is a meter away from me, no more, the more I'm surprised by such a low connection. I have HT Mode enabled
    Below are the photos you wrote about.

    This is my speed.

    Speed Is OK for your "synchronization" with the router - 72.2Mbit / s

    Where you have 802.11n width set to 40MHz and in the router also set the channel width to 40MHz. The speed should increase to around 80Mbit / s

    As if you had a card with a "full" N, the synchronization on the 20MHz channel is ~ 150Mbit / s

    Unfortunately, but in this 802 / 11n I only have 20Mhz Only and Auto.
    What does the "full" N card mean? Is it worth changing the card, especially if I change to 250Mbit / s?

    Set to "Auto".

    A card with N that supports a connection up to 300Mbit / s (synchronization) in real about 100-120Mbit / s

    You won't reach 250Mbit / s on WiFi at 2.4GHz. Here only the 5GHz band with AC mode. Of course, the router also needs to support it.

    The change to Auto did nothing, even as I changed the router to 40Mhz.
    The Horizon router itself has a 5Ghz option, so you should think about changing your network card to AC support. Now I don't think I can change anything, unless I connect it via a cable, then I will have a speed of up to 100Mbps, this is my card's maximum speed.

    Provide your laptop model.
    This can strongly depend on which card you can insert.
    It is about the number of antennas built into the laptop and not connected to the current card, as well as the same card models that can be inserted.
    Laptops have bullshit about this.

    I am using a 250mbps connection, Intel (R) Centrino (R) Advanced-N 6205 card, working on a 40MHz channel, connected to both antennas, I pull out about 90mbs on laptop on WiFi after speedtests. The router is an ancient TL-1043.
    I already pull 120mbps on another router.

    Achieving high bandwidths will be neither easy nor cheap.
    Good routers cost more than PLN 200, good cards also cost about PLN 100. For this, not every card will work with a given laptop, and it is not always meaningful if, for example, the laptop has only one or 2 built-in antennas, and we want a 3-antenna card ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring the Realtek RTL8723BE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC to operate effectively under the 802.11n standard. The user reports limited speed (50Mbps) despite having a 120Mbps connection capability. Responses highlight that the card may not support MIMO technology, which affects performance. Suggestions include checking the 802.11n channel width settings (ideally set to 40MHz) and ensuring the router is configured similarly. The user is advised that achieving higher speeds may require a card upgrade to one that supports 802.11ac, especially since the current setup limits speeds to around 100Mbps. The importance of the laptop's antenna configuration and compatibility with different network cards is also emphasized.
