Hi all
At the moment I am working from home and connected via VPN. At the moment I am using an AC 600 dual-band USB wireless adapter and I was wondering if I would see noticeably better performance with, say, an AC 1900 adapter. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Paul:
Do you know if the port and adapter are USB 2 or 3?
What does a speed testing site like speedtest.net (or the UK equivalent) tell you your current connection is?
Of course, it all depends on where the bottleneck is: your machine, adapter, home net speed, VPN overhead, the office's VPN server max speed, the office internet speed, what app you're trying to run (not big DBFs remotely, I hope!), etc., but I'm sure you know all that.

Hi Ted
Yes, far too many imponderables - I guess the only way to find out would be to try it. Thanks for the reply.

Before spending a lot of money it wouldn't hurt to try a temporary CAT-5 to your router to determine if wifi is your bottleneck. If so you could run a wifi analyzer app on your phone to ensure that you're not using a congested channel or sitting in a dead spot. Sometimes moving your gear a small distance can work wonders.

A temporary CAT 5 just for testing seems like a good idea. Thanks

It won't make a difference inside your network but outside there are a whole lot of people trying to work, learn and entertain themselves from home. We're globally stress testing the internet right now.

Same here.
We have 10-12 people on the VPN and at times it is crawling. I suspect someone is doing something bandwidth heavy. Could be Windows Updates.
100Mbps up and down.
My VPN server is asking to be restarted for updates which is a bit worrying...

No offense intended to any of our international compatriots and more a comment on my lack of language skills beyond English and database.

Hi, Paul:
Do you know if the port and adapter are USB 2 or 3?
What does a speed testing site like speedtest.net (or the UK equivalent) tell you your current connection is?
Of course, it all depends on where the bottleneck is: your machine, adapter, home net speed, VPN overhead, the office's VPN server max speed, the office internet speed, what app you're trying to run (not big DBFs remotely, I hope!), etc., but I'm sure you know all that.
