iPad Pro Max WiFi Speeds???

[tps3443]

Physically impossible

Hey I have terrible internet options where I live. Wait, let me rephrase that. No internet options lol.

I have no idea what the WiFi bottleneck May be on a iPad.

Either way, we can run a Ethernet directly to the new iPads and apparently the old iPad pros too.

500mbps should be plenty. And if you need more, then you should be at a desk with the attached keyboard, Ethernet,etc. etc. mouse maybe sometimes in the future lol.

This blows my mind!!! I cannot believe that our cellular network has become this fast. Hopefully we will see a 5G box on every power poll within 5 years or so. Wow. Just wow!

FYI see below.

I get very close to 1gbps from desktop to/from SpeedTest server.

As well, (coincidentally) I get close to 1gps from iPhone XsMax to my WiFi router (Asus AC-88).

But only about 500mbps SpeedTest from XSMax.

I attribute this to the throughput capability of the WiFi processor chip(s) in the AC-88. (Like many WiFi routers, it has separate processor cores - at different speeds - for baseband, 2.4gHz, and 5gHz.)

Actually, I'm surprised at the throughput from the iPhone to the router. I walked my entire apartment with WiFi Sweetspots, and only dropped to 500mbps inside of bathrooms. That is a huge improvement from previous tests, when it has dropped to ~300mbps in master bedroom.

I wonder if there's been some change in regulations about 5gHz WiFi near airports? If you live near an airport (as I do) 5gHz is quite severely restricted. The router will limit power and some channels are completely unavailable.

Good thing I have a decent home Internet connection. If I had to rely on ATT's phony "5GE"...

I have 10Gb fiber at home. I made some test with my devices. From the weakest to the fastest:
ipad mini 2: 130 Mb/s
iphone SE: 250 Mb/s
Ipad pro 1st gen (12.9 and 9.7) around 450 Mb/s (400 to 500 in general). Same as my Galaxy S7 (not surprising since all these devices apparently have a 860Mb/s modem, which should have half the speed in real life)
Macbook air 2013 and some recent windows laptops: 400 to 500, too...
Ipad mini 5: 550 to 600 (strangely this one is faster than the others, tried several times, maybe it has a faster modem)
On Ethernet I get between 900 and 1Gb
I tried Ethernet on my ipad pro (wifi turned off) and I only get around 200, but this must be due to USB 2.0 hub (without a hub the ipad refuses to take the ethernet adapter + CCK saying it draws too much power....) I have a UBS 3.0 hub but I cannot find the cable to power it so I cannot test, but I guess that should remove the bottleneck on my 12.9 pro.

Sounds about right. What service do you have that offers 10Gbps?

PS forgot the mini 4, around 400, roughly the same speed as the Pros

Why is your AT&T cellular so slow? I think you might be throttled.

I do not have home internet. And I depend on cellular only. It is just 4G LTE around 100mbps in the middle of no where.. It never throttles either. So I can use as much as physically possible.

AT&T is legit. I’m sure there 5GE is faster than the 4G LTE I’m getting.

That’s great! You’re lucky to have that connection in your area.

Throttling wouldn’t be my first guess on why others experience slow carrier speed. Mobile network quality varies from area to area for any carrier which is why there are several dominant players. I was a long time AT&T user but ended up switching when my job required me to commute to and work at a location where indoor signal strength on AT&T sucked. I ended up trying T-Mobile before settling on Verizon.

I can drive to different areas around the island here (Honolulu, Hawaii) and see network speed change just as I observe when I island hop or travel to the US mainland. Just the nature of mobile networks, the coverage, peak capacity and density of users varies region to region.
