    Wireless card to pair with N66U?

    Thanks - I am aware of this. However you would think that right next to the router the link speed would hit the maximum. My transfer speeds are to a nas box connected by Ethernet to the router so the higher the better when transferring files to and from it. I've just upgraded to...

    Wireless card to pair with N66U?

    I currently have an 5ghz intel 5300 mini pcie card in my laptop and have always had problems with throughput. My link speed varies around 180Mbps - 240Mbps and never hits 450 and throughput is equally bad (6MB/s). Can anyone recommend a better card to go with this?

    Max 5ghz transfer speed?

    Hi I'm connected to my N66u using an intel 5300 wifi card using dual channel 5GHz and the most im getting transferring a file from my server over wifi is around 13MB/s, is this normal? I've seen figures of 25MB/s banded around before? If I use inssider to look at my network it sais the max...

    Any reason for separate SSIDs on WAP?

    Target will be using a wireless controller to handle the wireless client handover between AP's. You can't do seamless transfer with consumer kit.

    Link speed?

    Hi Thanks for the reply - I understand that throughput will be lower than link speed and maybe I'm fixating on something here that I shouldn't be, but should I, at close range using 40Mhz in the 5ghz band get a link speed of 450Mpbs? Im tempted to order an intel ultimate-n 6300 just to make...

    Link speed?

    Tried copying a 1GB file and the link speed sat at around 240-330Mbps with a file transfer speed of around 11MB/s. Does that sound right? I would have thought a link speed of 450Mpbs would be easily achievable at that distance? Update: moved the laptop a bit and am now seeing link speeds of...

    Link speed?

    I thought so, but had a play anyway - but no difference. Right on top of the router I can get it to hit 405mpbs for a couple of seconds and once (just once) saw 450 before it dropped back to 270mpbs where it sits most of the time. I'm not sure if the problem is the router or card. I dont have...

    Link speed?

    Hi Thanks for the replies. I have tried several channels and I am using WPA2/AES. All the antenna are firmly pushed home, is there a specific order the should be connected in?? Thanks

    Link speed?

    Hi I've just bought a RT-N66U and have a quick question about link speed using 5Ghz. The router is supposed to be capable of 450Mpbs, however the most I seem to get is around 270-300, with the odd blip above it. I have configured the router to use 40mhz. My laptop origionally came with...

    Need help

    There is much more to think about than just what type of antenna you want to use. If you are trying to cover a city you need to think about things like back haul, wireless controllers etc. Where I used to live there was a plan to try and cover the town with a mesh network using a bunch of...

    Linksys EA4500 vs Asus RT-N66U

    $75 is about £45 which wont buy much of a router here. I am looking for a good router for a ~80Mbps vdsl2 line hence the higher performing options mentioned above. Also it must do 5ghz.
