What latency do you get between an AC router and a AC adapter on a PC?

Hi,

I'm considering replacing my homeplugs with an asus ac router and an asus pcie ac card as part of a wider upgrade, but was wondering what are the typical ping times that users see between their ac router and an ac client as I typically get ping times of either 3 or 4ms via homeplugs.

There is also little variation here as if I send 50 pings each one will either be 3 or 4ms.

How does this compare with ac wireless?

On my customer's networks (Asus RT-AC56U, RT-AC66U, RT-AC68U) the ping times to the router with my Intel AC7260 card is 1ms. Consistently.

Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands up to about 65' with normal obstructions (walls, floors, etc. Not concrete, brick etc.).

Thank you very much, that is most helpful

Interesting...........had never thought about this. Now I'll have something else to compulsively check!

Using the Network Analysis tool in the RT-AC66R firmware (I'm using Merlin release--I don't recall if it's in the Asus version), here's what I see with two different AC clients:

A PC with an Asus PCE-AC66 card:

PING 192.168.1.41 (192.168.1.41): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: seq=0 ttl=128 time=1.958 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: seq=1 ttl=128 time=1.031 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: seq=2 ttl=128 time=1.356 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: seq=3 ttl=128 time=1.136 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.41: seq=4 ttl=128 time=1.382 ms

--- 192.168.1.41 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.031/1.372/1.958 ms

A Linksys WUMC710 bridge:
PING 192.168.1.11 (192.168.1.11): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: seq=0 ttl=64 time=12.267 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.575 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: seq=2 ttl=64 time=2.949 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.775 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.11: seq=4 ttl=64 time=2.654 ms

--- 192.168.1.11 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 2.575/4.644/12.267 ms

Multiple tries yield very consistent results, including the first ping taking longer than the subsequent ones--much longer in the case of the bridge.
