New Asus RT-N66U Router

[hggomes]

you'll notice a 5 Ghz coverage

beside that - don't you get a stronger signal in "bad" locations?

Only a little in 2.4GHZ, didn't tested at 5GHZ yet.

well, to say it the non technical way:
where the rt-n16 gives me 1 bar at the weakest spot in the house, the rt-n66u gives my 3 more: 4 out of 5
with 2.4 and dual band clients

I guess this router is not OK, waiting another to compare it. FTP could not pass 4mb/s... (vsftpd process is not used more than 10-20%)

The sensation i have here is that CPU is throttling, maybe heatsink is not mouted correctly, i really don't know...

Use InSSIder to see signal strenght please, bars are not so fidedign


Thanks

nah that's the same thing mate
I'll check with channalyzer

Awesome, i found why FTP transfer rate was limited to 4mb/s, since im using a laptop with a 100MBIT NIC i knew perfectly that never could copy more than 10-11mb/s, the problem here was that samba could achieve that speed (10-11mb/s) but vsftpd couldn't, it was limited to 4mb/s, once i tested on a gigabit NIC i was able to copy 18mb/s.

Don't know why but vsftpd does not achieve maximum of 100MBIT transfer rate, if anyone try could assist to this novel

active or passive transfer?

[hggomes]

active or passive transfer?

Both, Active or Passive it's the same problem, the maximum that i was able to copy this way was 4.6mb/s

If possible try it and give me some feedback :P

Tks

I use WiFi between my router and NetworkMediaTank for looking movie from NAS connected to router.
I have around 4 Mb/s with SAMBA and 6.5 Mb/s with NFS(TCP).
The condition in air is good and I have same results on both bands and with 20/40MHz of the wide.
I don't know why I can't get the better speed.
I can see 300 mbit/s and almost high level of signal.
But never see the speed higher that 6.5 Mb/s

My RT-N66U with Toastman f/w
and I'm using E2000 like bridge with Tomato connected to NMT via ethernet 100 full duplex
and I think I should have the speed close by 9-10 Mb/s... :-(

I never use RT-N66U with stock firmware and may be I will try it for to clear the situation.

[hggomes]

It will happen the same, its not FW issue, my tests were via cable not wireless

[wpte]

I measured the wifi strenght with a nice test setup:

• Only 1 router turned on at a time
• Download a file via wifi from a pc
• Put the wifi client very far away (about 7m trough 3 walls) so hardly any signal is captured from the client
• Set the Wi-Spy up at 2 meters distance from the router

Le RT-N16 with oleg @ a whopping 400mW


Le RT-N66u with asus fw 3.1.0.3.90 @ only 40mW


Apart from the fact those mW don't really do much, the rt-n66u has about 5dBm more strenght
btw, I drew a yellow line trough the average line measured by the software... since that line is near to invisible in the scaled down version of the image I drew the yellow line.
so the yellow line is about the average +-1 dBm I guess

Hi!
Somebody know how good Tomato support Gbit WAN and LAN with RT-N66U?
Did anybody the test of speed WAN or LAN with Tomato on RT-N66U?
Thank you.

P.S. I can't to find the reason why I can't to get the speed higher 10 Mb/s...
I'm not proffessional or expirienced user and looking for my mistakes with
configuration. ->
NAS TS-119P+ ----- ETHERNET ------- RT-N66U -------- WiFi ---------- 2 PC and 3 laptops
NAS and Router have GigaBit Ethernet connections.
But even I try downlad any file from NAS and use all 5 computers via WiFi at ones
THE SPEED BETWEEN NAS AND ROUTER NOT HIGHER THAN 10 MB/S
But each of PC's or Laptops can do it with 3-6 MB/s or sum of all downloads should be higher and like I count about 20 MB/S !
I'm looking for bottleneck in my configuration.

[hggomes]

Gonna do some testing

[wpte]

Gonna do some testing

You don't need to!
JJ did another test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKevpqBqUU0#!

and yet again he says "lets go ahead" a lot

[hggomes]

Yeah yeah but those tests/performances are with an External Antena ASUS EA-N66 (costs almost the same as router)

I would like to see the USB performance over 20MB/s read / write loooooool

I have comment the 3rd time on they're mural LOL

"Let's go ahead" then

[ArCan]

And what about ETHERNET performance like in my configuration?
What do you think about GIGABIT ETHERNET to 450mbps WiFI?

Thank you.

P.S. I never use external HDD with USB connection with router, because I have NAS with gigabit ethernet.
Unfortunately nobody give me the clear information about the own results of tests.
Only bla-bla-bla and information from Google from other same theoretics :-)
