Can someone confirm if these speeds mentoined in the article above are the limit of this device? Now my ISP provides 120 MBps, this router may be the bottleneck after the next speedincrease....

I think you cannot trust in that review:

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/compo...rt/Itemid,189/

Or it may be a firmware issue cause if you noticed the Linksys WRT320N is equiped with the slower BCM4717 CPU 354MHZ and is a better performer, just like WRT600N with BCM4705 300MHZ (very the same as BCM4704 from WL500GP) and it measures 164MB, in that review its considered better than RT-N16 and WRT320N, not possible...

Samba performance write is less than my WL-500GP? Don't think so.

Wait for OLEG firmware

May i suggest a new Forum group for the RTN16 or the new RTN models?

Seems already quite popular, and now its out, I guess a lot more questions, guides, pictures & firmware will be posted in the near future.

Cannot find the Router anywhere in Denmark.......still searching.....

By the way - Thanks to all you guys for benchmark testing and so on....Great

I was thinking the same.

Administrators please move this thread to: AsusForum.NET -- WL500g > Asus RT-N16 and please rename "NEW ASUS RTN16" to "NEW ASUS RT-N16"

Thanks

I looked up how to create another sub forum here... but I don't have the rights

so we have to wait for antiloop or oleg to make such forum

I wrote antiloop a PM already...

That's funny. Look at line 763 of RT-N16cfe.bin in a text editor or offset 2FC88h in a hex editor.

It's not a surprise, same message exists in almost every brcm cfe
just execute following to check it

Code:

cat /dev/mtd/0 | grep doing

Maybe this is the Broadcom motto!

**wpte** · 24-10-2009, 00:16

is it safe to try out http://wl500g.googlecode.com/svn/branches/rt-n/ yet?
or is it still in such an alpha state it would be dangerous to compile and flash?

I'd rather say that it's in pre-pre-alpha state, branch cannot be even built.
So, be patient, please

There is a new ASUS RT-N16 beta firmware Version 9.9.3.7
Has someone this already tested?

I just tried it...
usb disk speeds seem to be averagely a bit better... But I couldn't find any other changes

maybe they tweaked QoS a bit more? dunno, since I'm not messing with it anymore
