Hi all,
I just purchased a SMCWBR14S-N2 for 50€ with USB adapter included. It is supposed to be a 300Mbps router, but using the USB 2.0 adapter connected to desktop and my Vaio laptop i could only get 150Mbps tops. Is this normal or should i exchange this for a different product. I was tempted to purchase a linksys router instead.
Anyway i installed the router and tested the WLAN to WLAN file transfer speed. at 150Mbps theoretical output should be 18MB/s, i got 4.5MB/s tops! Even taking into account that this may be a single radio router shouldn't it transfer at least at 9MB/s? (Both WLAN clients are draft-n and show a 150Mbps connection to the router).
I must say that i am a bit disappointed. Should i exchange it for a different router? What is the best in terms of speed, for around 50€?
TIA,
Eva
