Internet Geeks - Help Please

Hi there,

I am currently having trouble with my Qtel internet - I have the Fiber Optic, 100 mbps but I am finding it really slow as well as patchy.

If I use a VPN I rarely get 15-30 kbps download I have tried 4 - 5 vpn's all the same as it is a problem with the Internet.

I Connected up to 2 separate routers, if I use VPN on them I get a lot higher speed 200 - 250 kbps which is strange as it is connected Via a LAN cable to the Main router.

Ideally I want a few access points around the house all on 1 network but seems impossible to do it.

When I use the Direct feed I am getting 92mbps on a speed test, when I use Wi-Fi next to the modem i.e 1 meter distance I am getting 35mbps how come such a huge drop, Laptop works fastest, but devices i.e psp - iPhone run really slowly on the internet.

Really don't understand how things work around here seems that I need another Main Router, but I cant see any that takes the Fibre

Thank you

You are using the fastest package of 100Mbps fibre connection and complaining there is no speed? As per Qtel you can download a HD full Movie of 4-6gb in 7 minutes. You should check with Qtel to find out the issue.

In general Wi-Fi is slower than direct connection always. I don't know about the Router which Q-tel has installed for your fibire, but that might not be going to 100Mbps on Wi-Fi.

To fix this you don't need a router that does fibre, you just need a good router which does faster speeds on wi-fi. Just output the connection from the Fibre Optics Q-tel Router to this new Router.

Other thing to consider is that your Iphone and PSP will also have maximum speed limits.

If you need more help you would need to provide more details on the router model no. that Q-tel has installed for Fibre Broadband.

the speed depends upon your capability of ethernet/wifi device.

Probably down to the QTel router, check what make and model it is and do a bit of research online, unlike Virginmedia in the UK, I have noticed lockdowns in Qatar with regards to routers etc. I have a career background in networks and hardware, if you need a hand or advice drop me a PM.

Your lucky you can get Fibre, I live in Al Waab, maximum I get is 2mb!!!! when I'm used to having 120mb (in UK) this speed is crippling! argh lol

Upgrade to a faster system and pay extra whichever offer a higher speed!

If not, are there any other internet provider in Qatar apart from Q-Tel?
