I have two iMac (iMac 20" 2008 early and iMac 27" 2009 Late")
Recently I bought two BCM94360HMB to upgrade the wifi for both machines.
However, the Wifi transfer speed within my HOME Network being extremely slow after upgrading. To transfer a 6GB file, it need more than an hour to do it, but if I do it with ethernet. It take less than 5 mins.
Additionally, the AIRDROP appeared in the system but it cannot find anything or being found.
All Mac machines are using SSD.
This is my trouble shooting steps:
A) I conducted clean install to both iMac. Everything being erased
B) 2008 iMac is running latest 10.11 El Captain with all update being patched. 2009 iMac is running the latest 10.13 High Sierra also with all updates from apple.
C) I have an Mac Mini 2014 inside the same room, which I tested to transfer the same 6GB file. The speed is normal. I didnt alter anything inside the Mac Mini except upgrading the SSD.
D) SPEEDTEST shown that the internet speeds are "UPLOAD 5x Mbps, DOWNLOAD around 2x Mbps on both iMac. I do the same SPEEDTEST on my Windows 10 PC, which it is 390 Mbps and 112.42 Mbps.
E) I also tried to test the 5G speed on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and then share the internet to both iMac. It shows that the speed on my phone is 8x faster than my iMac on the same network in the same room.
F) The MacOS Wifi icon shows that my signal is in full bars
My router is QNAP Qhora-301W
Any ideas????
Such slow WIFI transfer speeds almost making my media share in my home network unusable.
The ISP provides 500mbps service plan to me. I am living in Hong Kong
This is the WIFI card I got.
BlackMagic Test between my iMac and my NAS:
SPEETEST result on my Windows PC:
SPEEDTEST result on one of my iMac
This is how I place my Antenna inside:
